10 choice books about marijuana - l.a. times

In alphabetical order:

- "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me" by Richard Farina (novel)
- "Budding Prospects" by T.C. Boyle (novel)
- "Burning Rainbow Farm: How a Stoner Utopia Went Up in Smoke" by Dean Kuipers (nonfiction)
- "Cannabis: A History" by Martin Booth (nonfiction)
- "The Drug User: Documents 1840-1960" edited by John Strausbaugh and Donald Blaise (essays and more)
- "The Emperor Wears No Clothes: The Authoritative Historical Record of Cannabis and the Conspiracy Against Marijuana" by Jack Herer (nonfiction)
- "The Hasheesh Eater" by Fitz Hugh Ludlow (memoir)
- "Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible" by Jorge Cervantes (nonfiction)
- "Red-Dirt Marijuana and Other Tastes" by Terry Southern (essays)
- "Vineland" by Thomas Pynchon (novel)
We happened to have T.C. Boyle on the phone, and told him that his novel was making the list. He jumped in with his opinion on the bigger issue. "This is a no-brainer," he said. "I would legalize all drugs. ... I'm all for it." He also had some recommended reading: this New Yorker piece on modern pot-growing in California: "Dr. Kush: How Medical Marijuana Is Transforming the Pot Industry."

What about Mel Frank: The Marijuana Grower's Guide????:confused:
It's a classic and was pretty much The book on growing before Jorge Cervantes came onto the scene. :leaf::leaf:

I thought Da Burnin of Rainbow Farms was a great read and the message was sublime. Was hoping the list would point to another like it but it don't. Thats too bad.
