Write-up
Offers an overview of the rapidly evolving cannabis industry. The book excels in its exploration of how cannabis has transitioned from a niche subculture to a vibrant mainstream phenomenon, with a particular focus on innovative design and branding. While some topics may feel a bit lengthy, the book's captivating imagery and high-quality printing make for a visual experience. However, it's worth noting that the final 10 pages suffer from printing issues, which slightly detracts from an otherwise excellent presentation.
