Cannabis Sativa Vol. 3
Cannabis Sativa
The Essential Guide to the World’s Finest Marijuana Strains
When I first got the book I noticed that the picture on the front wasn’t a typical, dense, resin encrusted flower. No, it featured a mildly reinous, loose flower that I have come to associate with the best marijuana in the world! I’m talking about the classic, landrace, pure Sativas! And it’s just my luck to be able to review this lovely picture book.
I’ve personally grown several of the strains featured in the book, some better than others. Upon first opening the book I flipped through alphabetized strain reviews until I got to my nemesis, Colombian Gold:
“Colombian growers better have a truckload of patience and more than a little skill…This is the pot that made the ’60’s and ’70’s so special.
Yes! This author gets it. He understands the big picture. He not only sympathizes with those of us who grow 14 week strains, he’s one of us. He knows exactly how special these rare Sativa’s are and this intimate knowledge and appreciation comes out on every page.
The layout of the book includes an entertaining introduction by The Rev, a famous and well respected organic soil grower and author of the book (which I reviewed) called, “True Living Organics.” The Rev also “gets it” and his contribution to this book is full of humor and cultivation gems.
Actually, every single page has both humor and expert experience tossed with equal amounts of mouth watering photography and information regarding flowering time, yield, and typical lab potency tests. It’s a great read, and the pictures show exactly how the strain should look when finished, many with taco’d, twisted or brown leaves as is typical with a 14 week strain.
These buds, while not at all as dense as hydro-grown Indica buds, will get the attention of experienced smokers and connoisseurs of the rarest and best form of Cannabis Sativa. There is nothing quite like these crazy looking plants! They are finicky and difficult to grow, but the rewards of a successful harvest can literally be life-changing. There is nothing quite like the 5 hour high one gets from enjoying one of the many strains featured in this book. If the reader has indeed smoked Panama Red, Colombian Gold or an Equatorial Thai strain, then they know exactly what I’m talking about!
This book will inspire you to seek out these strains. It will encourage you to cultivate them, and most of all it will guide you into a better appreciation and enjoyment of what many consider to be the ultimate and best type of cannabis: Sativa!

BongOutlet.Ca 14.5? Ghost Bong
Smooth baby! As someone who tends to lean toward Old School with their combustion practices, I’ve found in recent years that it behooves me to open my mind to alternatives and advances in THC tech. A bong was always a bong back in the day, (Unless browsing a head shop, at which point they’re referred to as a water pipe); But these days glass blowers are producing everything from dragon shaped dab rigs to beaded bubblers and the selection is endless.
Percolators have always interested me so I decided to begin trying them as they become available to me. Ash catchers are another upgrade I’d never utilized, thinking they were a waste of good glass…I stand corrected. A big Thank you to Bongoutlet.Ca for setting me up with this fine piece of equipment featuring not only the ash catcher, but a double percolator design. I have always loved the beaker base bongs so this was a natural fit to start with. My other favorite feature has long been the diffuser style down tubes, which this piece has. Then comes the built in percolator(s), which can be found in a variety of styles. The Ghost is crafted with not one but two “trees” of four “fingers” each, for a total of eight fingers to cool and mellow your smoke, and as seems to be standard these days, ice catcher indentions to further chill your sesh if you wish.
At 14.5 inches tall, the 2″ tube can satisfy the deepest of lungs, while allowing the user the option of cutting the hit short for less stone. 5mm thick, high quality borosilicate glass ensures durability and peace of mind, while the “glass on glass” design from base to down-stem, and down-stem to bowl set it apart from lesser quality water pipes on the market. I’m still on the fence about the ash catcher, but seeing my water nearly pure after a week of heavy rips, I may make a permanent switch from traditional straight bowl set ups. I believe The Ghost comes in white as well, but I dig the black on the extra thick mouth piece, the ash catcher, the percolator trees and lettering, even the diffused down-stem has black lettering. The 18mm frosted neck joint and 14mm bowl joint make the Ghost interchangeable with THOUSANDS of other accessories like dab rigs, percolators, down-stems and ash catchers, and customizing is fun right!? The fact is, every design has its own personality and hits differently than any other. Smooth is smooth, though, and this thing is SMOOTH!! I’ve seen much less bong for much more coin, and would expect to see this unit sell for double in stores.
We all love to have our favorite piece, and for now this is mine. The Ghost can easily and affordably be yours at just under $75.00! Keep in mind, also, that Bongoutlet.Ca offers free shipping on orders over $99! They are also running a Buy One, Get 50% Off Of An Accessory with purchase of this bong. With many great add-ons (like cool bowl pieces and downstems), you can be medicating in style. Thank you Bongoutlet.Ca!
