Written by the creative partnership known as Gordon G. Gourd, GET STONED is the culmination of five+ years of binging. Shot by Mr. Clancy, penned by Mr. Winter, GET STONED has been a labor of love. The book is self-published by Gordon G. Gourd, Inc. because established publishers felt the book was 'too esoteric'.
It's a pot book. It's supposed to be esoteric.
Printed through Acid Test Productions in California (publisher of many pieces on the Grateful Dead), the book itself is oversized, 10"x10", 72pp, with both full color and black and white imagery, printed on high-end glossy paper. The production quality is top-notch. The book itself is a series of loosely related full page spreads, each with a different image and idea, all created for the stoner by the stoner. It's some pretty whacked stuff.
A reader: 'If the title doesn't grab you, then obviously you're not stoned enough because this volume is tailored to the higher state of mind. It's a compilation of photography, graphic design and stoner-speak that diddles the pot-saturated brain with random images that are somehow familiar to all of us. A pot smoker on a park bench lights up surreptitiously. A dog offers his full spectrum of facial expressions. There are loads of pot shots and textured close-ups of paraphernalia. There's poetry, too-the obscure doggerel that will make every pothead ponder the elusiveness of reality.
Every page is different. Just like every high!
Our sage advice: Get stoned and read Get Stoned and Read This Book.'
