The Pothead's Little Instruction Book by Dr VS Ganjabhang (Boxtree, £2.99)
Ganjabhang? Is this name for real? In his potted history of the world's most popular soft drug, the good doctor reckons that since the declassification of cannabis in 2002, it can't be too long before best quality skunk will be freely available in all branches of WH Spliff...
And so begins nearly 130 educational pages of how to go through four months of horticultural hell, how to palm off your dope plant when The Filth come sniffing around, how to get a good deal without having your head bashed in and how to turn a bad habit into a not very clever career.
There is also a guide to the fine art of rolling joints, an examination of the legalities of smoking dope (combined with some handy legal defence arguments), a few handy recipes (try Jamaican Rarebit or Rastafarian Prawn Cocktail) and a list of common facts and fallacies about hash... . plus a couple Dr Ganjabhang made up for effect.
