Book Launch: How to Smoke Pot (Properly)

By David Bienenstock with Krishna Andavolu and Abdullah Saeed

Once demonized as “the Devil’s lettuce” and linked to all manner of deviant behavior, cannabis sativa has lately been enjoying a long-overdue renaissance. So now, with the squares at long last ready to rethink pot’s place in polite society, and eleven US states considering legalization in 2016, VICE columnist and former High Times editor David Bienenstock charts the course for this bold, new, post-prohibition world in How to Smoke Pot (Properly) — a highbrow guide to getting high.

With plenty of stops along the way for “pro tips” from his friends in high places, including cannabis celebrities and thought leaders of the marijuana movement, Bienenstock covers everything from the basics of blazing, to how Mary Jane makes humans more creative and collaborative, nurtures empathy, catalyzes epiphanies, enhances life’s pleasures, promotes meaningful social bonds, facilitates cross-cultural understanding, and offers a far safer alternative to both alcohol and many pharmaceutical drugs. Plus, informative answers to burning questions ranging from “How can I land a legal pot job?” to “Should I eat a weed cookie before boarding the plane?”
