The NINE of HEARTS: Volume I, Book 2 of THE GREAT BOOKS OF HASHISH. trilogies. Is a compilation of aspects from the Cannabis Cup in Holland where the majority of these playing cards were designed.

The NINE of CLUBS: Volume I, Book 1 of THE GREAT BOOKS OF HASHISH. Tatoos, pot and Harley Davidson are a combination that many would say naturally go together. Here we see an arm full of toos surrounding a great pot leaf tattood on the arm of the author of these playing cards. As Chuck Berry would say, "Long Live Rock and Roll" Note the marijuana leaf ring tatooed on the left hand on the handle grip of the unseen bike. Greg and Dee had their marriage fingers done on their wedding anniversary in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
