BOOK REVIEW Book Review by Trixie Pot Culture The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language & Life By Shirley Halperin & Steve Bloom Now here is a book that everyone should possess. I cannot praise this fascinating book enough because of it’s entertaining style of teaching you everything you need to know about marijuana, cannabis, pot etc. Let me break it down a bit more for you….. The introduction puts it concisely when Halperin and Bloom point out that “We didn’t want it to read like a deep disclosure on botany or politics, but rather a more light hearted approach to the culture surrounding pot as a past time” in their introduction. They bring to life many different facets of this subject with a sense of humour while bringing new information to light. If you think that you know everything about this subject – think again. They begin by introducing stoner etiquette before launching into a dictionary style approach to the terminology where everything is placed in alphabetical order. This is then spiced up by including fascinating pieces of information regarding the mechanics of smoking such as how to make a pipe out of an apple which was modeled by Charlize Theron. For those who are lacking in the fresh fruit department, there is an alternative “how to make a can pipe” bit. These segments are wonderfully illustrated through photographs, giving directions step by step so you too can smoke like Charlize! This book also covers in depth information regarding strains and breeding. This continues to include the marijuana culture of Amsterdam and the strains that sprout up amongst the coffee shops such as GreenHouse seeds strains. There is even a picture of the King of Cannabis himself, Arujan Roskam. It covers the who’s who of this segment of society from the Big Fish such as Cheech and Chong (of course!) and Willie Nelson to Jack Nicholson’s Stoniest Movies. There are bits and bobs on the music industry that reflect marijuana including the references in the Beatle’s songs going way beyond Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD). This book intelligently covers Medical Marijuana with an interesting piece on Melissa Etheridge’s battle with breast cancer. This comes in the form of a no nonsense and poignant interview with Melissa herself. It includes edibles for the medical user, which 114 - Treating Yourself, Issue 16 - 2009 will make your mouth water together with recipes for those dedicated to turn their hand towards cooking. On a similar note, for those of you who have fallen victim to hardcore munchies, there is a section titled “Smart Munchies” to help ease your guilt a bit. If you find yourself sitting in a cloud of smoke wondering how to hide the smell – then fear not – there are many useful suggestions to help you! Perhaps the biggest reason why I loved this book sooooooo much is because it encompasses all areas of the marijuana culture. The sections dealing with suggested activities to do while stoned tickled me pink. This covers Greatest Smoking Songs, Classic Stoner Dialogues, Fantasy, Comedies and Sci-Fi Flicks to watch while stoned. It bought back fond memories of watching Plan 9 From Outer Space which is perfectly described as being “Ed Wood’s mishmash of an outer space horror flick is complete with cheap effects, utterly baffling editing, and an almost Dadaist script full of zombified performances by a cast full of Z list stars at the end of their rope. It’s so bad it’s good”. It also covers Must see Stoner TV and Cartoons before launching into the Music section. For those of you who like to be a little more daring, it goes on to examining Stoner Festivals, Pot Rallies and Stoner Beaches and Colleges. For those of you who are more retiring, there is a suggested reading list provided that is both extensive and colourful in nature. Overall – this book has an enormous host of information in it, presented with a tongue in cheek sense of humour, while educating even those of you who believe them selves to be an expert (c’mon – you know who you are!). I love the illustrations and photographs provided and I love to dip into this fantastic book on a regular basis. It makes a great 4:20 gift so rush out and buy one now!
