font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" lang="EN-US">Useful tidbits abound in this
celebration of the evil weed; for instance, the residue of government-promoted
hemp farming during World War II may be found "today as `ditch weed,^ a
very low potency marijuana, which offers its users hyperventilation high and
a four-alarm headache." With its eye-catching cover, the playful
publication may itself induce hyperventilation and multialarm headaches in minions
of decency, especially because it is very much pro-cannabis. Indeed, its
profuse illustrations include depictions of purported drug use: for instance,
the Marx Brothers embracing a hookah in A Night in Casablanca accompanied by
Chico^s recollection that as boys they collected "our pennies, our
marbles, a piece of candy, a little marijuana, whatever we could pick up."
Of course, there is a chapter on sex, though surprisingly little on
Rastafarians or reggae. An excellent book for libraries willing to serve
potheads, whose numbers, if we are to believe incarceration statistics, mount
ever higher, so to speak. Mike Tribby</span></strong><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
