There’s no shortage of books about cannabis, and the groaning, overstuffed top shelf of my ancient IKEA bookcase speaks to that in… volumes. Grow guides, histories of cannabis, reference sources, cookbooks, cannabis spa guides, how-to-roll-a-joint handbooks—when the Great Cascadia Earthquake hits, I will likely die crushed by a quarter ton of books about weed. A fitting end, that.
But a new book has found a home on my coffee table instead of my bookshelf (whenever it’s not being passed around by friends). Beyond Buds: Next Generation is a phenomenal reference guide for a corner of the cannabis world that’s grown faster and more widespread than anyone could have imagined—concentrates.
