Welcome to the 3rd published “Cool Coloring Book,” Marijuana Mandalas, an exploration of cannabis leaf imagery as sacred geometry and kaleidoscopic patterns. Rockin’’ Ré is the designer and illustrator of the 12 finely-detailed “Cannamandalas” in this volume. All were done without the aid of computers, compasses, or drafting tools (though he confesses he did use a few cups and saucers and his handy six-inch ruler). Mandalas have been a “higher” art form for centuries, while coloring books for adults are a relatively recent art phenomenon. Currently the meditative practice of coloring and mandalas have entered a renaissance, with millions of new converts rediscovering the creative joys of their childhood. Many new studies of brain wave activity have shown stark similarities between coloring and the act of meditation. Other studies show new neural network growth and powerful de-stressing effects from this pleasurable past time. Cannabis has been a tool of “higher creativity” for thousands of years. It enhances and stimulates the meditative mind and greatly enhances the relaxation aspects of coloring creativity. So… “whether you seek meditation or de-stressing,Whether you use color pencils or fine tip markers,Whether you smoke pot or hash,Kind or kush,Enjoy Life, Color Often"Ìö-Rockin’’ Ré
