It's Just a Plant

So have you heard about it? A book called It's just a Plant, an illustrated children's book about marijuana. The web site by the same name explains the reasons for such a book and how it could be helpful to parents telling their children about smoking marijuana.

The story was written and illustrated by Ricardo Cortés. Ricardo is the director of the Magic Propaganda Mill.The illustrations are beautiful and so colorful, as you can see. From what I read it is a pretty even discussion of the plant and its uses. Apparently people are not exactly sure whether this is a legitimate book or a hoax.

But the Valley Advocate says:

"It doesn't really matter whether It's Just a Plant is what it seems to be -- a highly earnest and enthusiastic children's book about marijuana -- or a shits-'n'-giggles hoax, or a self-aggrandizing attempt to shock the bourgeosie. It is what it is: A beautifully-illustrated, hilariously multee-cultee children's book about the history, botany, (il)legality and potency of good old Mary Jane."

The site has a peek at the story, reviews and a store where you can buy the book and a tee-shirt.
