Considered ‘a lot more thoughtful than the provocative premise might seem to be at first glance, Ramona Cruz says:
“It’s Just a Plant” is a children’s book that takes a similar approach to sex education in talking about another difficult topic. That is, the book explains that marijuana can be a positive and healthy thing for adults, but it’s not for children. In twenty years I haven’t seen anything quite like this in how it approaches the topic.”
“It doesn’t really matter whether ‘It’s Just a Plant‘ is what it seems to be — a highly earnest and enthusiastic children’s book about marijuana — or a shits-’n'-giggles hoax, or a self-aggrandizing attempt to shock the bourgeosie. It is what it is: A beautifully-illustrated, hilariously multee-cultee children’s book about the history, botany, (il)legality and potency of good old Mary Jane.” -The Valley Advocate
