Synopsis

This fun illustrated guide to weed lays out the science, slang, and social rules behind the high in an informative yet endearingly irreverent way.

Bringing clarity and humour to every corner of weed culture, this book by counterculture journalist Michelle Lhooq features information-packed spreads that break down how the cannabis plant works and visually sorts through all of the ways weed is smoked, vaped, dabbed, and eaten.

Playful illustrations by artist Thu Tran cover plant anatomy, bongs, bubblers, vapes, hash, and everything in between.  Thrilling encounters with famous stoners, such as Hollywood star Woody Harrelson, music pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry, and writer Tao Lin provide tips on living the high life in style.

Through insightful interviews with experts in various fields, from a weed sommelier to a “cannasexual” sex educator to a pot-inspired fashion designer, the book explores weed’s role in style and social life. It also looks at snapshots of scenes around the world, from Barcelona's cannabis clubs to Thailand’s folk traditions and Mexico’s history of pot protests. 

• A new revised edition that updates key information on practices, attitudes and the law.
• Explains the biology of the plant and the differing ways weed can be consumed.
• Stoner slang is decoded so you’re never left out of a spaced-out conversation again.
• Smoke-circle etiquette is spelled out so that baked faux-pas never comes to pass.
• Details all the various equipment that can be purchased to improve your next high.

The premier guide for anyone who wants cultural context, the real answers, and a sense of how weed can fit into your everyday life.
