"Spliffs," European slang for joint, can be rolled with marijuana alone, or may include tobacco mixed with either marijuana or hashish. This little but potent item sparks this colorful, wide-ranging salute to cannabis. Laid out with splashy graphics in magazine format, Spliffs 2 mixes engaging short narrative and satirical pieces with instructional and practical information. With over 100 color illustrations, the book contains profiles of outlaw heroes and famous dope smugglers; "A Smoker's Life for Me," for potheads who insist on integrating the plant into every aspect of their lives; a pictorial tour of rolling papers past and present; and a guide to cannabis etiquette.

More serious stoners can expand their minds with essays on pot in politics, medicine, religion, and art.
