Now that you’ve gotten and (hopefully) read POT CULTURE why not come test your stoner know-how at an event Shirley Halperin is hosting at Book Soup on September 8?

We’re calling it The GREAT AMERICAN POT CULTURE QUIZ (a blatant rip-off of an Entertainment Weekly special issue, but Shirley works there, so whatevs…) - 30 questions about movies, music, TV and marijuana history, all based on information found in the book. Will you be the biggest stoner in the room? Come prove your pot expertise!

There will be laughs, there will be prizes, there will be celebrities featured in POT CULTURE signing afterwards, so bring your copy of the book or buy one at Book Soup.
