Higher Etiquette A Guide to the World of Cannabis from Dispensaries to Dinner Parties Audible Audio Edition Lizzie Post Random House Audio Books Reviews
- Interesting read about the growing acceptance of cannabis especially in green states like mine. reinforces the notion that you should not repeat pejorative terms like "weed" "pot" "dope"etc as these terms perpetuate the negative view of what is a legal substance in many places. Nothing earth shattering here, cannabis users know how to share, but remember to be respectful. interesting to leave in your bathroom or coffee table as a conversation starter.
- The book makes great use of diagrams and cartoons to detail the meaning behind the text. A really valuable book I intend to gift to others!
- Excellent book on a seldom discussed topic
- Etiquette, by its very nature, changes with the times. Cellphone etiquette, for example, couldn't exist until the invention of the eponymous device. While cannabis (*not* weed, pot etc.) has existed for millennia, its recent legalization in select areas has brought with it a whole host of etiquette questions. Fear not, lovers of both decorum and dank-ness, Emily Post has you covered!
If you live in (or will be visiting) a legal state, this book is THE primer for being cultured with cannabis. With its throwback cover design and 50's-inspired artwork, Post pokes gentle fun at a time period when such a book would be relegated to bookshops reeking of incense and cluttered with crystals. Contained within are answers to many questions you didn't know you had, from gifting cannabis to cannabis-themed dinner parties and dispensary decorum.
The only thing keeping the title from greatness is also its main selling point. This book deals exclusively with cannabis in legalized states, and thus doesn't much apply to those living in the remaining 80% of the states where cannabis is illegal. While I am sure this is done for legal reasons (or perhaps to give the impression that being a law-abiding citizen is the highest etiquette of all), it ignores the vast majority of people to whom most of these tips do not apply. A polar opposite set of etiquette rules are in play for those of us who reside in such areas. Delicate questions like "Do I have to smoke up my dealer?" and "When is it okay to ask my buddy for the number of his "guy"? won't be answered here.
Overall, for those fortunate souls who live in legalized states, this handbook is a perfect primer on a growing field of etiquette from the highest authority. For the rest of us, however, we'll have to content ourselves with a dreamy sigh at the idea of one day having the safety and freedom to have such elegance as a cannabis bar cart in our home for guests (and not the delicate multi-hour conversational dance to find out if they're 'cool' or not).
