Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The town thought he was a fool. The guild was about to learn otherwise.'A good plant is not the same as the right medicine. Selling the one as the other is a lie told with a true thing, and it is the hardest lie to catch. I caught it. I would not be quiet about it.'In the Confederacy that kept the plant, cannabis is a covenant trust: grown for healing, guarded by a guild for a hundred years, and sold honestly or not at all.
