A unique mix of art and science, this fresh and visually stunning survey celebrates the
extraordinary beauty and diversity of the world’s most controversial plant: Cannabis salvia.
Cutting-edge scanning electron microscope images, combined with light micrographs and X-rays,
bring this captivating plant vividly to life. Meticulously photographed over the course of three
years, the 140 color images are arranged by germination, stem, leaf, male flower, female
flower, and roots, accompanied by explanations of what the viewer is seeing. The cannabis plant
has had a complicated relationship with humans through the ages, and each image was selected
with this in mind, highlighting unique and frequently bizarre features. This unusual photographic
collection reveals the microscopic features of the marijuana plant as never before seen in one
volume.
