Spliffs 2 Further Adventures in Cannabis Culture

“Spliffs,” European slang for joint, can be rolled with marijuana alone, or may include tobacco mixed with either marijuana or hashish. This little but potent item sparks this colorful, wide-ranging salute to cannabis. Laid out with splashy graphics in magazine format, Spliffs 2 mixes engaging short narrative and satirical pieces with instructional and practical information. With over 100 color illustrations, the book contains profiles of outlaw heroes and famous dope smugglers; “A Smoker’s Life for Me,” for potheads who insist on integrating the plant into every aspect of their lives; a pictorial tour of rolling papers past and present; and a guide to cannabis etiquette. There’s a section on movies and marijuana for altered-state film buffs, a map of cannabis use around the world for geographically minded ganjistas, and a guide to pot-themed events and festivals worldwide. More serious stoners can expand their minds with essays on pot in politics, medicine, religion, and art.
