Testimonials re: LAURENCE CHERNIAK (started being added to the internet in February 2006,
6 to 12 testimonials to a page depending on whether there are graphics accompanying the texts).

These testimonials are primarily for the sake of artists (and other people as well) to know, that accumulating confirmations of your works, will help you enjoy life when times are tough, can become a most worthwhile hobby.

As much as possible we are listing the testimonials in the order which they came to us chronologically.

They have very warm attributes and are delightful reading.

I are thankful to have them to share with you, especiallly if you are an artistically oriented individual. My wish is that they encourage you as much as they have me.

ABOUT THESE PAGES:

Some of the testimonials here are graphics. The value of them as graphics is self explanatory however if a caption is not listed for a graphic at the time you are viewing it then it will be uploaded in days to come

Thank you for your patience.

Mr. Cherniak,

We are HempInstead, a retail store in Midtown Manhattan, two blocks west of Times Square. We are interested in your playing cards and books for our store. What would it cost to get a sample of each to review? If they look like something that would enhance our product line we would like to begin an account. We can be reached by e-mail, phone, (212) 974-2000, fax,(212) 265-2121, or by mail at HempInstead, 353 West 47th Street, New York, NY 10036. We can pay you in advance by either company check or VISA if you require it, or would do COD for the initial shipment, whichever is most acceptable. I cannot guarantee we will buy your products until after we have seen them but they look very interesting and could be a unique addition to our store. My name is Steve McDonald and I am usually at HempInstead on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM.

Hope to hear from you soon, thank you.

Steve.

Laurence Cherniak!!!

Of course, your name finally "clicked" - you are the creator of the
Marijuana/Hemp deck! I KNEW your name was familiar.

I have been meaning to add your site to my site's links page for some time
now, but I am way behind in maintaining that page, unfortunately.

I have your deck, and was very intrigued by some of the images you came up
with. Thank you for creating the deck! If it weren't for artists such as
yourself, there wouldn't be any of these lovely works of art for me to
collect!

Best regards,

Bob Lancaster

Dear sir/madam,My name is Jeff Afiouni, I am a Lebanese/Australian film
writer.I have recently purchased the reprint of great books of
Hashish,and I absolutely love it. I am about to start work on a script
about the order of assassins and would very much like to purchase more
of Mr Cherniaks wonderful books as I find them unique and
inspirational.

They are rare and expensive here in oz ,so if you could steer me in the
right direction I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks for your time
cheers
Jeff Afiouni

Dear Mr Cherniak,I have just re-acquainted myself with your wonderful book on Hashish.My name is Jeff Afiouni I am a Lebanese/Australian scriptwriter.As you may or may not know Afiouni in Lebanese means hash dealer. My heritage reads like one of your books, unfortunately though, my experiencewith such things is limited by what is available in my birthcountry, Australia.

I am currently in the process of developing a script about the order of
assassins and I was hoping to get my hands on as many of your books as
possible for reference reading, as they are extremely rare in oz. I hope to
hear from you soon,take care
