Let’s see those old grow guides and collectibles!

[buckaroobonsai]

Hey everyone, I’ve been collecting old and rare books about weed for like 20 years… my collection is my most precious possession. Any of you old heads out there have any old grow guides to show off? Let’s see’em! All cannabis collectibles welcome!

I don’t have any! I loaned all mine and never heard from them again,

[buckaroobonsai]

My first real grow guide was one these spiral bound Frank and Rosenthal books, my original was loaned out and never returned, and so was my second copy, lesson learned , now I have several in varying conditions, this one’s very fine.

[buckaroobonsai]

Lol, I know right?

[buckaroobonsai]

Had to wait quite a while to find this set in good condition for a decent price, this set is a pretty recent acquisition.

[buckaroobonsai]

I wasn’t sure what category to post this in so I hope this works.

I’m pretty sure this one is the first book to ever have a cannabis plant on the cover.
The Reign of Law
A Tale of the Kentucky Hemp Fields
James Lane Allen, 1900, 1st edition, 1st printing, hardcover with the super rare dust jacket…122 years old.

That is one I had but newer no spiral.

I’m not scared’ We both pretended we’d done it before, when in fact, neither of us had. After scoring from someone at school, we went back to a shed outside his house.
