Nor is this the type of cookbook that provides a list of suppliers for hard-to-find ingredients. But for the reader with a ready stash, these offerings are served up in a well-researched and easy to digest manner, with plenty of tempting color photos and helpful data such as the suggested amount of cannabis bud per person per meal, based on body weight.

There's a classic brownie recipe, of course, sweetened with honey. (Oct.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
