Hey Hunters, I recently purchased a new book 'The Heart of Dankness' by Mark Haskell Smith The tagline - 'Undeground Botanists, Outlaw Farmers, and the race for the Cannabis Cup' The blurb on the back of the book - "Wickedly entertaining. Mark Haskell Smith goes on a quest for the world's finest cannabis, and uncovers an obsessive global subculture of artisanal growers, seed botanists, and connoisseurs - all of them chronically stones and fiercely compertitive, striving like windemakers to express the terroir of their product and achieve the ne plus ultra of 'dankness.' Warning; this book may produce an uncontrollable urge to get high." "A genially gonzo ride to the top of the cannabis world." - Heather Donahue, author of Growgirl "Reporting for the Los Angeles Times on the international blind tasting competition held annually in Amsterdam known as the Cannabis Cup, novelist Mark Haskell Smith sampled a variety of marijuana that was unlike anything he'd experienced. It wasn't any-thing like typical stoner weed - in fact it didn't get you stoned. This cannabis possessed an ephemeral quality known to aficionados as "Dankness". Armed with a State of California Medical Marijuana recommendation, he begins a journey into the international underground where super-high-grade marijuana is developed and tracks down the ragtag community of underground botanists, outlaw farmers, and renegade strain hunters who pursue excellence and diversity in marijuana, defying the law to find new flavors, tastes, and effects. This unrelenting pursuit of dankness climaxes at the Cannabis Cup, which Haskell smith vividly portrays as the Super Bowl/Mardi Gras of the world's largest cash crop. Review - I have read almost half this book already and can't seem to put it down, when i do i wonder what happens next. A book i recommend anyone reading, there are interviews with Franco as well as Don & Aaron from DNA, The book isn't just centered in Amsterdam he also takes his journey to the states and back again well worth reading, that much so it made me create this post. So far 10 out of 10 even though one or two of his facts seem a bit fishy lol Il update this once i have finished reading, I hope others enjoy reading as much as i am. Available from most online retailers Enjoy & Peace
