Product Description
For those in the know, it's the stoner bible. For novices, it's Pot 101. Either way, Pot Culture encapsulates the history, lifestyle, and language of a subculture that, with every generation, is constantly redefining itself. From exhaustive lists of stoner-friendly movies, music, and television shows to detailed explanations of various stoner tools to celebrity-authored how-tos and an A-Z compendium of slang words and terms, it's the ultimate encyclopedia of pot.
Written by former High Times editors Shirley Halperin (now a senior writer at Entertainment Weekly and a TV talking head) and Steve Bloom (publisher of CelebStoner.com), and featuring contributions by a host of celebrity stoners, including Melissa Etheridge, Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Redman, Steve-O, and America's Next Top Model's Adrianne Curry, Pot Culture provides the answers the everything you ever wanted to know about pot but were too stoned to ask.
"Pass the Dutchie! Marijuana and rock 'n' roll have been joined at the hip, since, well, ever and that link will be explored in the book Pot Culture by journalist Shirley Halperin and longtime High Times editor Steve Bloom. . . . Essentially an encyclopedia of pot, filled with such top 10 lists as "best stoner movies" and "stoner capitals of the world," plus a "pot-parazzi" section with celebrities sneaking a toke . . ."--Billboard

Customer Reviews
Great conversation starter, that's not all
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.
So much of a variety!
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.
Great Book for Pro to Amatuer !!
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.
