Comment:
Michael Pollan’s book How to Change Your Mind is equal parts skeptical and seminal for the mainstreaming of psychedelic spirit plant medicine. His journey through the hidden history, kooky characters and surprising science of psychedelics will make you think twice about the future of mental health treatment.

Comment:
Positives: Mamakind dispenses sex-positive advice with quirky cannabis-laden quips. As long as everyone is safe and consenting, game on. The book is a mix of Q&A advice column, pot personality quizzes (which will make anyone a Millennial or older yearn for the old days of magazine quizzes) and vignettes of her own personal cannabis-infused romps and sexploits.
The realistic: The book is in a short'n'wide format, like the Garfield comic books I read as a kid (and have not seen used in adult books, ever). The inherent nostalgia the physical format of the book invokes seems a bit perverse considering the content and imagery of this book is very adult, and very not Garfield-level. Although, the graphic design and cartoon image of the author through out the book looks a lot like Manga, making this book perhaps look like a kids item from a distance.
Point being: don't make an adult book about sex while consuming cannabis look like a children's book.
Negatives: While I want to support women, writers and cannabis consumers to express themselves as they are, and Mamakind has clearly done that here, one thing bothered me in particular. In her recounting of her past experiences, she often references herself and her cannabis consumption with negative, demeaning and/or derogatory language. Words like "idiot", "moron" or "dumbfucking stoner" are primary harmful language towards herself and her experinces, but it also adds fuel to the negative stereotype cannabis has in mainstream culture. Also the imagery used in the book is something a teenage boy would like to see, and everyone else probably not.
Take home: Sex is great. Cannabis is great. Self-loathing language is not great. Perpetuating negative stereotypes about cannabis (the teenage boy fantasy) is not great. This book was published in 2011, and with social media taking over out lives in the last decade, I doubt the type of person who'd enjoy this book would pick it up from the library (they're probably busy on apps instead these days).Positives: Mamakind dispenses sex-positive advice with quirky cannabis-laden quips. As long as everyone is safe and consenting, game on. The book is a mix of Q&A advice column, pot personality quizzes (which will make anyone a Millennial or older…

Oh, what a weird documentary. At times it seems hard-hitting, at other times a handicam high school report joke. An interesting take on the high volume of assassination attempts on Fidel Castro, but don't expect too much - this documentary is more of an amusement than anything else.Oh, what a weird documentary.
