High Times

"A surprisingly deep guide to pot culture . . . 192 pages of legit knowledge" from the author of The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook (The Cannabist).

From the experts at High Times magazine—the world's most trusted name when it comes to getting stoned—here is an authoritative, accessible guide to marijuana, its uses, and culture. This illustrated handbook offers clear and friendly primers on subjects such as what pot is and how it works, tips on getting high and managing the experience, cooking with pot, and FAQs as well as an "I'm High, Now What?" selection of activities and amusements for the freshly baked. Part manifesto, part party invitation, Marijuana for Everybody! is an informative and entertaining read for the uninitiated and practiced users alike.

"The rapidly advancing world of weed gets broken down into easy chunks on topics like 'cannabis chemistry,' 'how to: roll the classic cone,' and 'where do bongs come from?' . . . The list-lovers will dig: 8 items to look for on the label when you buy legal weed; 6 things to do if you think you're too high; 7 things to keep in mind when buying edibles; and 10 common marijuana strains and their characteristics." —Smell the Truth

"Well-written, carefully researched and incredibly thorough . . . If you have even a passing interest in marijuana, start clearing a space between your grinder and bong for this book on your coffee table." —Willamette Week
