Download or read book Cannabis written by Ernest Small and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cannabis sativa is best known as the source of marijuana, the world’s most widely consumed illicit recreational drug. However, the plant is also extremely useful as a source of stem fiber, edible seed oil, and medicinal compounds, all of which are undergoing extremely promising research, technological applications, and business investment. Indeed, despite its capacity for harm as a recreational drug, cannabis has phenomenal potential for providing new products to benefit society and for generating extensive employment and huge profits. Misguided policies, until recently, have prevented legitimate research on the beneficial properties of cannabis, but there is now an explosion of societal, scientific, and political support to reappraise and remove some of the barriers to usage. Unfortunately, there is also a corresponding dearth of objective analysis. Towards redressing the limitation of information, Cannabis: A Complete Guide is a comprehensive reference summarizing botanical, business, chemical, ecological, genetic, historical, horticultural, legal, and medical considerations that are critical for the wise advancement and management of cannabis in its various forms. This book documents both the risks and benefits of what is indisputably one of the world’s most important species. The conflicting claims for medicinal virtues and toxicological vices are examined, based mainly on the most recent authoritative scientific reviews. The attempt is made consistently to reflect majority scientific opinion, although many aspects of cannabis are controversial. Aside from the relevance to specialists, the general public should find the presentation attractive because of the huge interest today in marijuana. Unfortunately, society has become so specialized and compartmentalized that most people have limited appreciation of the importance of science to their lives, except when a topic like marijuana becomes sensationalized. This review of cannabis can serve as a vehicle for public education in the realm of science and technology. Indeed, towards the goal of disseminating the important information in this book to a wide audience, the presentation is user-friendly, concise, and well-illustrated in the hope that non-specialists will find the topics both informative and entertaining.

Download or read book The Marijuana Strain Grower s Bible written by Michael Blood and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you want to grow 3 plants or 30,000 there are many factors to take into consideration: Would you rather grow a strain that produces 38g per season or one that yields 9 Kilos? Would you rather grow a strain that has a high incidence of unwanted side effects (Anxiety, paranoia, headaches, etc.) or one that has a very low incidence of said effects? Do you want to grow a strain that has a 29%THC level or one that has 5%THC? One that has 0%CBDs or one that has 47%CBDs. Would you like to know which strains are almost totally immune to powdery mildew, fungus and mold or one that is particularly vulnerable to these diseases? One that can grow clear into the snows of Fall or one that needs a Mediteranian climate to thrive? Do you want to grow a strain that produces particularly well under indoor lighting or one that requires an outdoor grow to thrive? Atrain that reach only 18" to 24" tall or one that grows to 12 feet? A strain that needs little water or one that requires a good deal of water? Then there are strains that absolutely must have a good deal of support and those that require none at all. Strains that take 20 weeks of flowering (After a long vegetative period) and strains that go from seed to harvest in 28 days. Interested in the medical conditions a given strain is good for? Here you can find over 120 medical conditions are listed among over 500 strains. There are even strains with near zero THC and over 42%CBDs for medical use with no high whatsoever. There are strains that have an intense odor when growing and will alert anyone within several hundreds of yards and there are strains with little odor or even an aroma that smells like something different than marijuana altogether. If you think you are going to get this information in one place - you are right. It is this book. Other than that, I hope you have thousands of hours to read many dozens of books AND search hundreds of web sites. That is what I did for the last two years. These are the results. This is NOT a book strictly about horticultural practices for marijuana in general (though you will find brief comments and an excellent all around organic bug and disease control spray menue herein). If you want in depth general marijuana horticultural information there are many sources easily available. George Servantes is one of the best and there are countless videos on You Tube for such information. This book is completely about STRAINS, what they need to grow, how they grow best, and every aspect about each strain.. You will find it invaluable.

Download or read book High Art written by Robert Lambrechts and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art can be confusing. Luckily, there’s marijuana. This book pairs fifty classic works from all around the world with unique cannabis recommendations. High Art gives you answers to questions that have long plagued art history students, such as Is there an edible that will help me understand Cubism? (Yes!) Can a cannabis strain connect me more deeply to late-period Van Gogh? (Of course!) And Should I be intimidated by the work of William Blake? (Very much so—but cannabis extracts can help.) To get in touch with your inner self while viewing Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat, toke on some of Gravita’s Red-Headed Stranger and really feel the brush strokes wash over you. Or while viewing Henri Rousseau’s 1910 Tropical Forest with Monkeys, you might smoke some mild Purple Monkey followed by a snack of THC-infused dried fruits for a body float that will allow you to connect with your primitive nature. So whether you know a lot about art and nothing about cannabis or a lot about cannabis and nothing about art, it’s high time you expanded your mind.
