Pot pusher parodies Potter book
By: CanWest News Service, Victoria Times-Colonist (CN BC), 09-20-07
VANCOUVER -- Once the smoke clears, what will British author J.K. Rowling have to say about Hairy Pothead?
Vancouver pot advocate Marc Emery and co-author Dana Larsen -- who manages a Vancouver company that sells marijuana seeds by mail-order -- have penned a pot-filled parody of the Harry Potter boy-wizard saga entitled, Hairy Pothead & The Marijuana Stone.
The book is set for release on Oct. 20 and follows the high-jinks of Hairy, "an ordinary boy -- until he is rescued by a biker, gets a glass bong, rides the magic bus, lives in a Cannabis Castle, attends Hempwards School of Herbcraft and Weedery, learns to play Qannabbi, does battle with an evil policeman, and smokes tons of fine marijuana."
According to the book's website: "Hairy Pothead is a hilarious and subversive parody which will be enjoyed by anyone who gets a kick out of cannabis."
It will be published by Cannabis Culture Magazine and includes 12 illustrations.
