Jorge Cervantes
, April 20, 2006
I sent out e-mail to people that I had sent books to. They have an opinion that I value and I requested a short review. At the end of 48 hours, this is what came back.
== 01 ==
?The most trusted name in marijuana returns with the latest version of his grass growing Bible, a new testament featuring more than a thousand color photos to accompany the best step-by-step information available anywhere. If you want to grow weed, this is the book you need!? David Bienenstock - Editor, HIGH TIMES Magazine (www.hightimes.com).
== 02 ==
?Jorge Cervantes has surpassed himself with the release of the new Bible, it is without a doubt the best grow book on the market. Plenty of high-quality colour images make it an easy step by step guide for any enthusiastic gardener. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to come up with something as concise as this book, it's a must for every grower be they a novice or pro,? Phil Kilv, Editor in Chief, Weed World Magazine (www.weedworld.co.uk).
== 03 ==
?Fun, informative, illustrative, hands-on and authoritative. Whether for approved medical use patients or prohibition pragmatists, Marijuana Horticulture unravels the mini mysteries and places responsible individuals firmly on the path to self-sufficiency.? Allen St. Pierre, Executive Director, NORML, Washington. DC, (www.norml.org).
== 04 ==
?World famous cannabis cultivator Jorge Cervantes strikes back with a new edition of his green bible, and what a book it has become. Cervantes knows what he is talking about, and he has the skill to put it on paper. What a book this is. With more than 500 pages and over 1100 full colour images it is a true and valuable encyclopaedia for the modern cannabis cultivator. This is a must read.? Rob Tuinstra, Chief Editor Highlife Magazine (www.highlife.nl).
== 05 ==
?I have been writing a garden column every week for 30 years and I have had a lot of questions about growing Cannabis, and lately medical marijuana. I never knew where to send these people for answers. I do now! Putting aside any legal and moral judgements one may have about marijuana, this is one hell of a book, quite stunning, actually. It has more useful, color pictures and diagrams than I have ever seen in ANY horticultural how-to, and I have seen them all. Sound too strong? Just thumb through a few pages and tell me I am wrong...you lose. The photos are fascinating, including some exceptional close-ups and magnified shots; those of plant infections and insect-caused inflictions illustrate common gardening diseases and pests better than I have ever seen. Call me a liar, until you check them out. Clearly, if it was legal to grow marijuana, this would be THE Bible to have to learn how to grow and prepare it.? ? Jeff Lowenfels, America's Longest Running garden columnist, Fellow and Hall of Fame member, GWA, America's dirtiest lawyer.

With this most recent edition of his Bible, Jorge proves once again he remains far ahead of the pack.? Steven Hager, Cannabis Cup Founder (www.cannabiscup.com).
== 09 ==
?I love the Bible ? it?s packed with authorities and highly practical information on about every aspect of cannabis and it?s even very funny at times. Graphics are outstanding and it?s very well structured. It makes for a compelling read, and within only a few days I have been through it completely, not even skipping topics that were absolutely of no immediate practical interest, such as mounting a guerrilla grow show in the mountains; started reading the night after the Highlife Trade Fair (January 2006) when I was too exhausted to even see and ended up being absorbed for two straight hours. I immediately bought some copies to hand out to friends. ?Una obra estupenda!? Jan Sennema, Dutch Cannabis Journalist, Soft Secrets and Highlife, (www.highlife.nl, www.softsecrets.nl).
