Spliffs 2, the follow up to bestselling title 'Spliffs', is packed with everything of interest to the cannabis connoisseur. The first chapter contains an analysis of the processes for growing your own strain. There is an examination of the plant (and the very different male and female specimens), plus the arguments for indoor and outdoor growing, hydroponics, an assessment of the best means of cultivation, seeds and hybrids/cross pollination. The second section explores the music behind the drug, from hippy festivals such as Woodstock to the Bob Marley-led reggae explosion. The link between rap music and cannabis and the rise of Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Eminem is discussed, as is the success of Afroman's 'Then I Got High' (UK No 1 for three weeks in 2003) and music events like the Up in Smoke Tour and MTV's Cannabis Weekend. Chapter Three is a delight for the discerning smoker. It features more than 50 items of smoking paraphernalia - including bongs, pipes, blunts, vapourisers, hookahs, grinders and scales - specially shot against white backgrounds with explanatory captions. It is a testament to the fact that for many dope smoking is more than a hobby, it's a way of life. Chapter Fo
