Nowlis The Complete Guide to Growing Marijuana by Dave FlemingThe books are in good or very good condition.

In this wholly unique book, the authors provide an interpretation of an ancient sacred manuscript, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, from a psychedelic perspective. The Psychedelic Experience describes their discoveries in broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of Tibetan meditation techniques and psychotropic substances. As sacred as the text it reflects, The Psychedelic Experience is a guidebook to the wilderness of mind and an indispensable resource from the founding fathers of psychedelia.Reefer MadnessReefer Madness , a classic in the annals of hemp literature, is the popular social history of marijuana use in America. Beginning with the hemp farming of George Washington, author Larry "Ratso" Sloman traces the fascinating story of our nation's love-hate relationship with the resilient weed we know as marijuana. In this book we find antiheroes such as Allen Ginsberg, Robert Mitchum (the first Hollywood actor busted for pot), Louis Armstrong (who smoked pot every day), the Beatles, and more rapscallions standing up for, supporting, smoking, and politicizing the bounties of marijuana.Drugs on the College CampusThis guide to drugs on the college campus provides accurate information to help administrators and other college officials understand and cope with the use of drugs by college students.

Information is also offered in the following areas: (a) the student and his culture, (b) drugs and the law, and (c) the response of the educational institution to student drug use.Drug AwarenessThe distillation of over 2,000 articles and papers on drugs, Drug Awareness is an important and revealing book for the general reader, as well as the student and specialist.

For those who know little of the drug phenomenon, the early sections of each chapter provide superb background material. Those seeking more intensive studies can read further in each chapter for technical aspects of the functions and effects of drugs in our society. Drug Awareness is an indispensable guide to understanding LSD and marijuana, the drugs at the center of national controversy.What Everyone Needs to Know About DrugsIt came as little surprise to most Americans when President Richard M. Nixon declared in February 1970, that "drug misuse is a growing national problem" in which "hundreds of thousands of Americans--young and old alike--endanger their health through the inappropriate use of drugs of all kinds."The timing of this book coincides with these and other remarks and the growing awareness of the so-called drug problem.
