The "Primer" section explores the culture of this complex flower and explains the botany that makes each strain unique. The "Buds" section describes the variations of lineage, flavor, and mental or physical high that define 170 exceptional strains.

"Of the dozens of marijuana books that fill the shelves each year, Dan Michaels and Erik Christiansen's book Green has received the most critical acclaim. The large coffeetable book is part cannabis research (Michaels), part beautiful cannabis photography (Christiansen)... it goes into depth about everything from botany to flavor."
