Reddit mentions: The best marijuana cultivation books

Great question! I have a couple of go-to cannabis books that I'd love to share! [Spliffs] (http://www.amazon.com/Spliffs-A-Celebration-Cannabis-Culture/dp/1579123600) and its sequels ([Spliffs 2] (http://www.amazon.com/Spliffs-Further-Adventures-Cannabis-Culture/dp/0932551726/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CBT35HSTFRBBP9YFTFJ), [Spliffs 3] (http://www.amazon.com/Spliffs-Last-Word-Cannabis-Culture/dp/1843403102/ref=pd_sim_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0T1B4E5QN5Z3XG3QTAKY)) are great if you want to read while you're stoned. They have articles about cannabis culture, broken up by cool quotes by famous people about weed, some of the science of getting high, and, of course, pictures of ganja.

If you're above a [7] and reading isn't really your thing, then you'll love the high resolution pictures and digestible descriptions of all the different strains in the [Cannabible] (http://www.amazon.com/Cannabible-Jason-King/dp/1580082084/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416022050&sr=1-2&keywords=Cannabible) and its sequels, [Cannabible 2] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Cannabible-2-Jason-King/dp/1580085164/ref=pd_sim_b_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0HZ3CBSJ1NSXP6EMD746) and [Cannabible 3] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Cannabible-3-v/dp/1580087841/ref=pd_sim_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0HZ3CBSJ1NSXP6EMD746).

This is one of the best book sets I've ever read. Called the Cannabible. HQ photos and interesting facts and history on every strain you can think of.

I used to think that the different dealers were just coming up with their own names, but it's really named crazy stuff like, "Train Wreck", "Durban Poison", etc.

Cannabible is a great resource.

Anyhoo, like others have said, keep it airtight and dark. I don't know the rate of decay of the THC.

There's a wonderful book just out I've found at my library called A New Leaf: The End of Cannabis Prohibition. It's co-authored by someone from the Times, I think.

Probably Skywalker if you're getting that 'piney/Pine-Sol' smell from it.

Also, from the picture, that is organic, not hydroponic.

Edit: This is also a great and inexpensive reference guide to strains of the world.

Continuing...

If you only get paranoid during a session, perhaps the paranoia stems from preconceptions about weed. Perhaps someone, someone whose opinions you value, doesn't like weed. Thus when you smoke, you subconsciously feel like you are doing something wrong and anxiety roots in. That "I am doing wrong" feeling is anxiety. You have to be aware of this feeling and rationalise it.

If you feel your paranoia could be related to something like this, ask yourself questions that are challenging. Here are some examples. Is smoking weed morally wrong? Go read "Does Marijuana make you a better person?" in the Cannabible 2 Is smoking weed a crime? For hundreds of years a crime was defined as an action that resulted in harm to a victim. Stealing, murder, maiming. Harm to oneself was perfectly legal. If over half of Canadians have smoked pot, does that mean half the population are criminals? Does tobacco have criminal penalty? It's thousands of times more harmful. Smoking weed is something you should be thankful for, not paranoid about.
