Rating:  Summary: keep this book out of the public's view Review: If you're a pot head and enjoy this type of lame book, fine. But keep it out of the public's view. Urban Outfitters store stocks this book in their waiting area. I went in the store and was appalled that a 10 year old boy was sitting there reading this book. It's not only filled with pictures about getting stoned, but has a ton of garbage language that kids shouldn't be reading. I can't believe a clothing store would encourage young kids to read this filth. I'm staying out of that store. You should keep your kids out, too. Adult stuff should be kept away from a child's reach.
Rating:  Summary: Close but not quite Review: Kavity Kreep stole this book awhile back and it had been tempting me while collecting seeds and stems on his coffee table for the last couple of months. Hey, the book is white which makes for a convenient place to do your rolling. Anyway, writing a book about getting high for people to get high and read? Well, that's like selling a book about Andy Griffith during "Matlock" reruns. Too easy. So, a truer test was to pound a pint of schnapps and read this bad boy. Color me unimpressed and a little hungover, boys. Just wasn't that interesting. A few cool things, but not that cool. Probably was fun to write though. The NASCARS race that the Kreep was watching held my interest longer and that led to some seriously prolific beer drinking. After the race we went to KFC for a bucket and then played some video games. Besides, I wasn't holding that day anyway. Sure got drunk though.

Rating:  Summary: High Times Review-March 2001 Review: Pot Lit. 101Once you get high, the age-old question always pops up: What do you do now? Watch TV? Nah. Over 150 channels and there's never anything on. Do housework? Tomorrow, maybe. Exercise? Are you kidding? How about reading? Reading! Now there's a concept. And we have the perfect book for you. It's called Get Stoned and Read This Book. If the title doesn't grab you, then obviously you're not stoned enough because this volume is tailored to the higher state of mind. It's a compilation of photography, graphic design and stoner-speak that diddles the pot-saturated brain with random images that are somehow familiar to all of us. A pot smoker on a park bench lights up surreptitiously. A dog offers his full spectrum of facial expressions. There are loads of pot shots and textured close-ups of paraphernalia. There's poetry, too-the obscure doggerel that will make every pothead ponder the elusiveness of reality. Every page is different. Just like every high! Our sage advice: Get stoned and read Get Stoned and Read This Book.
Rating:  Summary: Dude! Stop talking about being high Review: The other reviews led me to believe that this book would be full of visually (and maybe even philosophically) stimulating images and words. Maybe thats the case, as long as you're an American male who likes Bud Light and baseball. I feel like I know the authors a little better after reading this, and they're not people I would hang out with. (I am male, British and hate Bud Light and baseball. A female American friend found it similarly frat-boyish.) Get High and Talk About Being High and Sports would have been a better title from my perspective.
Rating:  Summary: Dude! Stop talking about being high Review: This is one of the most well done book in trying to get you to see the world through eyes other than yours. The photography work is superb. I especially like the fishermen surounded by very colorful fish. Outstanding work. It is alway on my coffee table. I can't wait for their next book.
