A nice set of this periodical from the London Legalise Cannabis Campaign. None of the surveys, crosswords or other tidbits have been filled in and only the poster from issue 10 seems to be missing. Most issues in good to very good condition, with issue 12 once folded and thus creased and issue 10 with a small tear to the rear.
No complete holdings on worldcat, with an incomplete run at Harvard University Library (from the notorious Julio Mario Santo Domingo Collection) and a single first issue at the British Library.
