Neil: What can I say? Jorge knowledge in book form.

I have always sworn by the Cannabis Growers Hand Book by Jorge. Before they were renamed the Medical Growers Hand Book. If you want a top reference book that's your book.

Now if you want knowledge on all things Cannabis then this book should be your only choice. I swear my brain is in meltdown. Just wow. From reading imported High Times magazine in the eighties to reading this now. I wish you could see the smile on my face. Thank you for all the years Jorge.

KC: Hours and hours of Youtube videos couldn't help me accurately diagnose problems in my plants. Jorge's knowledge eased my stress and showed me that my plants are perfectly healthy; and what I(and dozens of youtube videos) thought could have been serious problems were simply normal occurrences in the life cycle of cannabis. It literally took me 20 minutes of leafing through this book to reach that conclusion.

Jorge's knowledge into the science of cultivation is nothing short of clinical, he's without a doubt the most experienced and recognizable figure in the world of cannabis. Not only does his book thoroughly explain the science of the plant itself, he dives deep into cultivation, grow cycles, harvesting, curing, and everything you could think of. It's even got edible recipes, info on concentrates and tinctures, and even delves into the subculture itself. Truly a one stop shop of cannabis knowledge. Calling it simply an "encyclopedia" would be selling it short, it's literally the definitive bible for all things cannabis.

Whether you're in a legal state, an illegal state, a smoker, a grower, or just simply wants to know more about cannabis, pick this up. Trust me when...

Interestingly, the foreword is written by Vicente Fox, former President of Mexico, whose country and people have suffered the worst of the so-called War on Drugs, and whose insights are especially poignant. Beyond that, there is a brief discussion of the history of medical cannabis, and not a great deal on the subject of legalization. That's for the better, as the situation regarding both medical and recreational cannabis is changing so rapidly. It should be noted that while the main focus of the book is on medical Cannabis, the information is equally valid and useful for those who live where either personal or professional Cannabis production is legal.

Beginning with a general overview of the growing process, there are detailed chapters on everything from seed selection and...
