Pot Planet take you on a global ganja safari to explore strange new cannabis cultures, to seek out growers, activists, and other reefer revolutionaries... and to be boldly get bakes with each of them. Intrepid journalist Brian Preston journeys to 12 countries on five continents - from the humid jungles of Laos to the hash farms of Morocco - crossing every stratum of the more than 200million people who smoke and enjoy marijuana worldwide. In Northern California he takes a clear-eyed look at the medical marijuana movement, seeing both its promises and problems. In England, Switzerland, and Sprain, he observes grudging governments catching up to public tolerance. And at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam he joins the raucous multiday tasting competition and celebration at the international summit of the greatest breeders, growers, and connoisseurs in the world

Part investigative travelogue part cultural history of hemp, part polemic for the unfettered enjoyment of nature's most perfect and pleasing herb, Pot Planet is a voyage into the multifaceted world of marijuana that you will never forget.
