Summary: Jason King---a new bud of mine!
Review: "Do what you love and the reward shall follow..." Jason King successfully combines this philosophy with his extensive knowledge of history, geography, biology, sociology, horticulture and travel with his extraordinary talent and passion for communications and photography, to produce this visually stimulating tome, now on proud display in my home. While absorbing each stunning page, cover to cover, I find the text and photographs quite mind-boggling, well-researched, excellently documented, dazzlingly illustrated, informative and downright fascinating. Of special interest are the compare-and-contrast information on the effects each strain offers, the scientific terms for the differing categories grown, and the visuals by which to identify both common and exotic strains from both the USA and abroad. Rarely have I enjoyed a reference book more! Bravo, Jason!!! I plan to purchase several more autographed, hardcover volumes as gifts, as well as to check out Robert Connell Clarke's newest book. Bring on the sequel of The Cannabible, by Jason King, a new bud of mine!

Summary: Beautiful and interesting : unique
Review: As an European, having read the previous reviews of Cannabible, I was prepared, too, to dislike Jason King's elitism. Nevertheless, where and whenever I have been able to test his controverted statements, I've found him dead right. Most notably relating to organic growing and its effect on the quality of the flower (as opposed to its commercial convenience : cost/yield/"strength"). As an ex-pro in the gastronomy guide business (in France!) as well as a keen grower, I think I can detect most fakes. King rings dedicated and true. If he has personal likes, dislikes and foibles, that's his right. Whether or not the wealth of information and the beautiful photos will be directly useful to most readers, I doubt; but it's a work to be proud of (author) and to own with pleasure (amateur/grower).

Summary: This book is ALMOST perfect...
Review: Even though Jason King is confused about where the finest ganja in the world grows, he's still a king! Jason says that the best ganja in the world is from Hawaii. -As the owner of Ganja.com and someone with a resident card in both Jamaica and Holland, I'd beg to differ.Don't miss out on taking the Cannabible home with you. It truly is a work of art and bar none, the best ganja pictorial yet in print. Good work indeed, Jason.

Summary: Very informative and helpful
Review: I am a large scale hemp and cannabis farmer in Switzerland and one of our biggest problems is when we must select seeds and genetics that best suit our growing needs and this book is proving to be very helpful in making some very important decisions. Not only does it provide high quality photographs of the most recognized and enjoyed strains from around the world it has a remarkable amount of information on strains that are mostly unheard of. This book is a true masterpeice and the amount of time and energy that went into its creation is something that will inspire people to new highs! A must for any small or large scale grower or farmer of the sacred herb.

Summary: Great book, informative, perhaps too critical of certain....
Review: I have seen many people attacking the Big Book of Buds as being a seed catalog in a books clothes...then saying check out cannabible. I bought the BB of B and agree, it was a glorified seed catalog...the cannabible is 1000% more informative and a more meaningful approach to reviewing the strains is explored - there is also a ton of useful info on storage, different apparatus etc - a very necessary coffee-table book for all "users". One aspect I found a little off in this book however were open attacks on amsterdam bud - I agree with certain points, but the book seemed to attack nether-bud and totally advocate west-coast USA bud...instead of a glorifed seed catalog, it seemed at some points like a west coast sales pitch - I've experienced the dam-stock and do not totally agree.. never-the-less a great book and really, is a must have, the best book in its catagory.

Not only does this book provide detailed descriptions of the most exotic cannabis strains on the planet but it also shows in-depth look into resin glands via his Marijuana Microphotography. www.TheCannabible.com website alone will convince you that this book belongs on your shelf too. Bring on Volume 2 we are ready and waiting!!!!

Summary: Beautiful book
Review: Jason King is the pothead's Ansel Adams and this is his masterpiece. The Cannabible is a work of art. Its layout is clean and fresh. Beautiful photographs of ripe buds line the pages. This is not a catalog of marijuana ... it's an exhibition of it. The Cannabible deserves a special place on any pothead's coffee table. Your friends will love it and so will you.

Summary: Eye candy for the cannabis connisseur!
Review: OK, so I'm not a connisseur; Heck, I'm not even sure if I spelled the word right or not! There's nothing like a beautiful hardback book with detailed colour pictures! Although this may be considered a coffee-table book by some, I've seen it as a great introduction to the history of the plant, its strains, its breeding history, the different bud highs, etc... A wonderful gift for the pothead in your life!

Summary: * Smoke-rings of aloha *
Review: Sitting on my coffee table - in the rainforest of a jungle town - on a snowcapped and smoking volcano - is my new copy of
Jason King's "The Cannabible". I am in awe... The Cannabible is an up-close-and-personal look at the world's most fascinating, useful and controversial plant...cannabis...through the appreciative eyes and lens of an extra-ordinary writer/photographer. Like in the Holy Bible, where so-and-so begat so-and-so, Jason has followed the dots of cannabis plant genetics and creates a linear history of this sacramental species like a modern-day Charles Darwin. His astounding photos are shot in such exquisite detail with lighting so complimentary that you might think your fingers will get sticky from the resin as you turn the pages! This Marco Polo of pot has followed the trail of seed-carriers, cultivators and smugglers from ancient Asia to contemporary Amsterdam, and from high-tech city greenhouses to camo, tree-top grows in Hawai'i, all in search of some of the most heavenly 'highs' on earth. If you enjoy cannabis, you'll enjoy the artistry, science and philosophy of Jason King in The Cannabible. Roger Christie The Hawai'i Cannabis Ministry
