The content gets a 3, whereas the beautiful photos earn a well-deserved 5.
This book is similar to the Leafly app. Organizing it alphabetically instead of by strain type did not help my research. Would have loved more information on terps and genetics.
On a plus note, the smell of the paper reminded me of a fresh pack of Decipher Star Wars cards.

The only time I remember getting high was a contact high from secondhand THC at a UB40 concert. I was in the nosebleeds of an indoor arena. When the band hit the stage, the guy in front of us lit up a blunt and blew smoke back in our faces. The rest of the Marijuana smoke collected around us in the upper loft. We all got happier. My buddy, who had hyper extended his knee playing softball earlier that day, got up and danced (he had to wear a brace and use crutches for the next six months). A group of us went out to eat afterwards and we giggled a lot.
So suffice to say, I know almost nothing about pot. This is a problem, because I live in Oregon where there are now more pot shops than grocery stores, and my town is surrounded by high fenced farms. I figure I should know something, even if it is just to make conversation with the guy at the Minute Mart.
Lucky for me, I procured a free copy of Green: A Pocket Guide to Pot from a Library Thing giveaway. Dan Michael and photographer Erik Christiansen went to the trouble of photographing a variety of strains of Marijuana, describing the look, smell, effects and medical uses of each strain. They also have some introductory articles on cannabis, flavor variety and how to pick your pot (three c's, like picking out an engagement ring: color, cut, crystals).
The thing to note about this, it is a pocket guide. And there are 352 pages. You need some big ass pockets for this. Who still wears cargo pants? Potheads.
If you want a guidebook to help you identify the various strains of Marijuana, then hey this is it. But it doesn't tell you which buds to pair with which bag of Doritos.

Awesome book! I love informational books and especially about something I personally enjoy. This is a solid well printed and formatted book. I love the pictures and the descriptions. I definitely want to buy this book for my friends, because of course I am keeping this one. Nice job! I can't wait to learn about new strains!
