Pot pusher parodies Potter book

CanWest News Service
Victoria Times Colonist


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.

Looking forward to it. I placed a order weeks ago. Some will be give aways at a future event in Calgary.

Once I read the chapters included in the last issue of Cannabis Culture I mailed the cheque.

Just one ordered, but now I'm thinking about people I know that might like it... As much as Christmass is a joke to me, what a great stocking stuffer.

peace and pot

Of course Marc is not the co-author, but that's ok.

I got interviewed by the Vancouver Sun for an article which will be running tomorrow (Friday).

I wonder if this Canwest story made it into any other newspapers?

That's a good idea, I have a few buds (who unfortunately don't read CC) that would probably enjoy a gift like that for xmas, thanks for the idea.

Jodie, What radio station? Is it a phone interview or is he in the atlantic provinces?

The book is also on the Province Newspaper's website as part of a bunch of small amusing stories:

The link is here

=============
Oh, He's Done it Now! . . .

If Vancouver pot advocate/activist/agitator Marc Emery thought he had troubles with the U.S. Justice Department for selling marijuana seeds across the border through the mail, just wait til author J.K. Rowlings' legal posse gets its mitts on the self-proclaimed ganja guru!

Always jonesing for a hit off the publicity bong, Emery and co-author/conspirator Dana Larsen have penned a pot-filled parody of the Harry Potter boy-wizard saga entitled, Hairy Pothead & The Marijuana Stone.

The book, released Oct. 20 to Chapters Books, Borders Books, Books-a-Million (though that might very well change!), 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."

She's not gonna like this. Not one little bit.
