A recent trip to our local, relatively speaking, Borders entertainment outlet became the highlight of an otherwise depressingly commercial week. The friendly and knowledgeable staff, thoughtful displays, and aroma of freshly brewed coffee all added to the experience, but it was a discovery in the Gardening section that immediately put a smile on my face. I usually browse that particular section in most book retailers I visit. Gardening has always provided me a great deal of enjoyment, and I can't help but to learn as much as I can on the topic. It was while replacing a book concerning the use of natural stone in landscaping, that a certain word caught my eye- Cannabis. "Cannabis? Surely not", I thought to myself, but there it was; a growing guide detailing cultivation of that much maligned species. As brain finally was able to accept the presence of Cannabis Cultivation guides sitting on an open shelf in a corporate media retail outlet, other titles popped into awareness and dozens of books appeared. I couldn't help but to laugh. Try it for yourself- a search for "cannabis" in books at the Borders website returned 108 titles. I gurantee you most if not all will be on their shelves.
