Cannabis Chassidis is true to its name. it is kind and gentle and ephemeral. rather than just being a book about something or other, cannabis chassidus actually is what its talking about. while reading it, i had the direct experience of being on the kind of internal roller coaster that you would expect from smoking large amounts of high grade marijuana for the first time in a long time, or from studying the spiritual secrets and subtleties of sweetness while dancing, singing and crying just trying to connect. I was at times and turns ecstatic, nostalgic, paranoid, delirious and deliciously awake. i was turned on, i was high. but, as some of you may know, getting high is also very deep. author joseph leib very delicately develops and deploys a distinct dosage of psychedelic poetics, visionary history and experiential archaelogy. and, i dare say, even if the reader didn’t find it as deep as all that, or just isnt into that kinda stuff anyway, i still reccomend the book be read. even if just for the sake of doing something different, out of character, out of the ordinary. try it. its fun.
