This book deals with the process of turning regular everyday herb into both hash oil and hashish. It is very detailed and practical. As such it is geared only to those interested in undertaking such a process. The process Gold describes in it DOES WORK and the potency increaces between 6 times (for pure crude extract) and 32 times (for acetated and isomerized extract) are in the opinion of this author accurate.

As helpful as this book is however, it is incomplete without its compendium: Dr. ATomic's Marijuana Multiplier.The reason for this is that unless the reader is a chemist, Canabis Alchemy is very difficult to follow. Even thought the diagrams in it are well illustrated, understanding some of the simple alchemy reactions described in them is very difficult to the lay person - if not impossible.This is where Dr. Atomic's Marijuana Multiplier comes in. It is akin to an Idiots Guide to Canabis Alchemy. Its chapter layout is almost identical to Canabis ALchemy. Best of all, it's written in a cartioonish fashion with words that the reader can easily follow (instead of chemical symbols). It even describes how to make the edible fomrs of hash that really work!

As mentioned above, when read together the process mentioned in both books works and a reader (with basic HS education) can figure out how to go about the 28 hour alchemy / isomerization process to obtain very potent oil / hash with a potency of about 6 to 12 times stronger on the Adams scale than regular everyday Mary Jane! As simple as the process is however, it is unlikely that a non-chemist could make the very high acetate rotaional herb oil (13 to 32 times more potent) that Gold explains in his book. This is because this final step involves an artificial atmosphere to be created behind a blast proof plexi glass cage. I would not recommend this to anyone who does not have a ton of experience in chemistry labs.

Finally, the process described in both books results in a yeild (by vloume) of between 25%-30% of extracted THC / pulp canabidiol from regular Mary Jane. In other words, 10 grams of herb would give you between 2.5 and 3 grams of consumable decadence. As for the supplies needed, almost all the ones mentioned in both books can be acquired pretty easily. The only drawback is that the entire process is VERY labor intensive. For some really incredible smoke expect about 30 hours of pretty well continous work. The benefits are the increase in potency, the far less toxins ingested and some incredible bragging right :)

"A superb book, especially from the pictorial viewpoint and it should go far in an educational effort towards understanding the use of Cannabis as a psychotropic plant. As interest in the use of Cannabis products as psychoactive agents increases, books like this one serve in providing a picture of the worldwide significance of the plant as a mind altering aspect of human culture that goes back for a millennia in certain areas of the globe. I look forward to subsequent volumes". - Dr. Richard Evans Schultes, Ph.D., Jeffrey Professor of Biology, Director Botanical Museum, HARVARD UNIVERSITY "I first saw Laurence's books in the early '70's. They were the finest quality books, color photos and explanations that I have never seen on cannabis and hashish. No one, even comes close to Cherniak's comprehensive photos and editorials. All these years have passed and Laurence can still be proud of having the finest photographs of cannabis and hashish that I have ever seen. I grew up on his books" - Jack Herer, Author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes "LAURENCE CHERNIAK's books are very far above all the other books that I have seen in the last 25 years regarding marijuana and hashish. Laurence always give me the sense of living splendidly while travelling around in a great big world. Reading his books transports you on a journey throughout the continents, showing not only the richest substances; but also the people". - Ben Dronkers, Founder of Sensi Seeds, Holland.

A folk legend... with huge charisma. He sounds like Richard Burton and looks like a Rolling Stone

Daily Mail
Since the Stone Age, drugs have been sniffed to induce sleep, mixed to cure ills, swallowed to stimulate creativity, snorted to increase sexuality, popped for the hell of it and smoked to see God. Natural or synthesized, they have been smuggled for all kinds of reasons from saving the world to becoming stinking rich. Blamed for deaths, wars, suicides, collapses of governments, multiple crashes, individual crises, anarchy and chaos, they have also been praised for opening minds and expanding consciousness.Worshipped and demonised, venerated and chastised, force-fed and forbidden. Every society has had its intoxicant, be it sacrament or scourge.They have also become irreversibly interwoven with politics, sex, business, religion, and rock and roll, providing writers, whether emerging from the ancient classical world or the street laboratory of today, with both inspiration and challenge.

A critical review of Coffeshops In Amsterdam

The Underground Guide to Amsterdam also carries adverts between it's "critical" reviews. I have no reason to believe that the editorial integrity of these guides has been compromised but when a review appears next to an advert for the same shop there is always the suspicion that it's not as critical as it might be.

The Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory is proud of its independence. Although we carry occasional adverts for pipes, hotels, etc. we will not take adverts from coffee shops. No shop has paid for its entry in this guide.
