I love Spurs Broken artwork so much that I use it in my published works. Got to love the way he sees and interprets cannabis.”
~ Jorge Cervantes, Author, Photographer, Cannabis Cultivation Expert
I love the new vision that cannabis is moving towards, this book is an in depth look at the whole plant and written with captions that explain the beauty of cannabis. I recommend this book to anyone looking into getting into the cannabis marketplace as a guide and for those who just love the plant!
Spurs Broken is at the top of my list as a premium photographer of cannabis, not only because of his vision, but also for his activism on the part of all medical cannabis patients before it was a “thing to do.” His macro-photography evokes images of the inner space of the flower and to the outer space of shiny resin stars against a cloudless dark night sky.”

Spurs not only came of age during the sixties, he was a part of the magic and music of that era. (His band even appeared on the Dick Clark’s Happening ’68) He remembers the days of “buying a lid” and is grateful to finally see legalization and normalization of this miraculous plant.

“WOW! I’ve seen a LOT of bud photos, but these simply take my breath away. And so much helpful information without being overwhelming. This guy has a great eye and a super sense of humor. I love this book!”
R.N., Portland –
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Beauty of Cannabis both for its images and its comprehensive and humorous background on each strain. Who would ever have thought that this “weed” was such a wonderland of complexities, colors, textures and exquisiteness. The beautiful photography of Spurs Broken unveils an Eden of delightful images that are truly amazing. A must journey for anyone curious to learn more about this wonderful plant.”
P.S. It’s also a great buyers resource for those of us lucky enough to live in states where cannabis is legal.
Patricia M. Baker, Portland –
“You don’t have to be a cannabis user to appreciate this book. The photographs of the different strains of marijuana are gorgeous, revealing the beauty of the plant on a macro and micro scale. Clearly Spurs Broken can find beauty in the most unlikely spots. Who would have thought marijuana plants could be this gorgeous?
Not only are his photos breath-taking, his prose reads like poetry. And if you want information about the effects of each strain, you will find anything and everything you wanted to know.”
Amazon Shopper –
“Amazing! Very informative. Purchased for a gift, and I cant wait to give it.
The photography is stunning.”
K. in Portland, OR –
“Who knew that cannabis was so beautiful. Wait until you see the Incredible photos in this book. Just like how our fingerprints are different, each cannabis plant has its own unique signature, geometry, color, and character. What an eye opener!”
Carolyn M., Portland –
“Visually exquisite and sensually descriptive, this book is one to savor and ponder slowly. Spurs Broken has captured 200 miracles Nature created in these plants. Their looks, smells, feels, and potency are artistically captured in pages of breathtaking photos and delightful language. For example, Lemon Kush is “mild in flavor, but full of daytime creativity” and Blue Magoo has a “creamy smoothness – sweet, fruity, classic. A strain full of reward.” No technical language to confuse a reader here. Rather, hints about what a user can expect to experience with each strain. That’s a fullness of reward for sure!”
Ted C., Denver, Colorado –
“The photography is gorgeous. The narrative is informative with a touch of humor. This will be not only a coffee table book but a research book also.”
