Review by C. Barnard for Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life
Rating:
This book is great as a read on it’s own or a conversation starter with friends. Want to know how to make a carrot pipe? What about making cannabutter? Not sure what kush is? This book will get you started on the never ending cannabis culture.
The one downside to a book like this is it’s lifespan. While i’m sure a lot of the information will be relevant for a long time to come some of it wont. With the development of new strains, smoking techniques, and slang the only way to be up on the jargon is to be a stoner yourself.
Honestly $14 for this book is a steal. So if you want to be educated on the stoner species or you just want something to stare at while your high this book should be in your collection.

This book covers so much about pot culture. It is great to have around and just look through and read about anything you need to know about the culture. I love this book. I bought two copies when it first came out…one for me and one for my best friend. I’ve just ordered two more copies for two of my other friends. I consider it a must-have coffee table book for people into this type of stuff. There is such a great variety of information, from definitions to pages dedicated to great musicians, artists, and entertainers, to how-to guides.

Review by Allen F. StPierre for Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life
Rating:
Shirley Halperin and Steve Bloom have authored the definitively written and graphically-presented book in honor of pot culture. While most citizens, whether they relate personally to cannabis or not, can recognize North America’s ironic cultural embrace for a substance banned by American and Canadian governments for 70 years, authors Halperin and Bloom’s expertise and rich knowledge of cannabis’ intersection with music, movies and television help readily guide even novice devotees of cannabis down a path of cultural and historical enlightenment.
The book is beautifully published and provides for a comprehensive tour of cannabis, entertainment, culture and the abject failure of cannabis prohibition in modern North America.
Enjoy!

Review by C. A. Salgado for Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life
Rating:
I love books about Cannabis, Cultivation, Hash, basically anything drug related catches my interest, So this book was a must have for me. After seeing this book featured in one of my favorite shows “Weeds”(When Silas Starts working with his mom he is seen reading “pot Culture”) I had to do some reasearch. When the book arrived at my door, For once I was hoping it wasn’t “Playboy”. “Pot Culture: The A – Z Guide to stoner language and life” the title meant to me that it was going to read like a dictionary of everything Ganja related. Well…After, consuming 2 space cakes, 6 Glass Bong hits, 2 shots of tanqueray and 10 chocolate chip cookies (no THC included) I started reading. To make a long story short this book missed out on a few terms that are very important but, wont interfere with the quality of this read. I loved the celebrity How-To-Do’s with Redman, Rob Thomas, Jonah Hill, Steve-O and more. I really recommend purchasing this book for the Stoned and Un-stoned Reader.

Review by George W. Colombo for Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life
Rating:
It was appropriate that my copy of “Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life” showed up on the very day that Representative Barney Frank filed a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of pot. Steve Bloom’s book lavishly and lovingly demonstrates that pot culture is completely interwoven into American culture and that stoners, far from being at society’s fringes, have made important contributions to our music, literature, arts, and even science. (One of the book’s rare omissions, however, is Carl Sagan and his PBS series, Cosmos.)
For many readers (especially children of the sixties), “Pot Culture” will be a trip down memory lane. For others, it will illustrate the impact that stoner culture is having on today’s headlines and cultural trends. In either case, it’s a thoroughly entertaining look at an the significant and enduring influence that pot and its legions of aficionados have been exerting on our larger cultural environment for decades.
