The guide provides a light-hearted and thoughtful look at the many<br \/>\ncustoms that cannabis consumers have developed to be considerate to others in<br \/>\njust about every situation where cannabis comes up. <\/p>\n<p>From well-known rules for smoke sessions, like \u201c<a href=\"\/culture-puff-puff-pass\/\">puff, puff, pass<\/a>\u201d or not bogarting a joint, to more subtle etiquette situations, like how to approach playdates as a <a href=\"\/?s=parenting\">cannabis-using parents<\/a> or come to agreements with roommates about smoking in shared spaces, this book is full of realistic cannabis scenarios and advice for how to navigate them with consideration and respect. And hey, it also teaches you how to throw an amazing cannabis dinner party!<\/p>\n<p>Post, a cannabis consumer herself, says she had the book idea for a while, but it became a reality after interest from its publisher, <a href=\"http:\/\/crownpublishing.com\/archives\/imprint\/ten-speed-press\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ten Speed Press<\/a>. \u201cI had a woman reach out and say, \u2018Hey, I know of someone looking to do a book on this topic. I didn\u2019t think it was right for you, but thought it might be right for someone you know.\u2019\u201d Post recounted laughing. \u201cI literally did raise my hand, alone in my office, to no one and was like, \u2018Right here. I\u2019ll write that book!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From there, Post started her research phase. \u201cIt was<br \/>\nhonestly the best research of my career,\u201d she said. \u201cGo book a ticket and visit<br \/>\nlegalized states. Buy weed and hang out with people who enjoy it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Still, it wasn\u2019t just the great cannabis that Post<br \/>\nenjoyed during her research. Post says etiquette can be a really negative<br \/>\nspace, because \u201ceveryone is complaining about something.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But in the cannabis sector, things were different. She<br \/>\nsays the etiquette was more focused on consideration, respect, generosity and<br \/>\nsharing. \u201cI think those are things that we really need now, as a country,\u201d she<br \/>\nexplained. \u201cI was very excited to work in this space for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While no one expected the <a href=\"https:\/\/emilypost.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emily Post Institute<\/a> to take on the topic of cannabis, Post explains that the project actually fits right into the institute\u2019s values. \u201cWe have seen how based the cannabis community is on sharing, on respect, on being aware of the people around you,\u201d she said. \u201cIt just falls so in line with the Emily Post principles of consideration, respect and honesty. That is something that I find really inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This spirit of consideration and generosity is reflected throughout \u201cHigher Etiquette.\u201d While readers might think of an etiquette book as a big list of rules and judgments about what they are doing wrong, in this book, the conversation is more focused on considerations for how to make everyone feel comfortable, respected and understood. Far from a list of rules, \u201cHigher Etiquette\u201d leaves room for personal style and preferences. Instead of telling people what to do, it simply describes situations that might arise and offers helpful tips on being kind and thoughtful to everyone involved. <\/p>\n<p>When asked to give just a single piece of cannabis etiquette advice, Post\u2019s was this: \u201cNo judgments.\u201d Post said that people use this incredible plant in such a wide variety of ways, \u201cthe biggest takeaway is we really need to try to not judge each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US, <\/strong>do you<br \/>\npuff, puff, pass? <\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published in Issue 39 of Cannabis Now.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/print-digital-magazine\/\">LEARN MORE<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/mind-your-marijuana-manners\/\">Mind Your Marijuana Manners<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\">Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nRead More: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/mind-your-marijuana-manners\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mind Your Marijuana Manners<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ultimate guide for minding your marijuana manners has just arrived from America\u2019s most respected etiquette brand: The Emily Post Institute. \u201cHigher Etiquette,\u201d written by Emily Post\u2019s great-great-granddaughter Lizzie Post, focuses on the cannabis etiquette that has developed in post-prohibition landscapes.
