A lot of people labor under the impression that
\nwhen something is cute, that thing is not worthy of serious regard. Terming
\nart, literature or even people \u2018cute\u2019 can be a roundabout form of dismissal, a
\nqualifier meant to soften some later blow: \u201cYes, it\u2019s cute, but\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle Lhooq\u2019s non-fiction book, titled \u201cWeed: Everything You Want to Know But Are Always Too Stoned To Ask<\/a>,\u201d is undeniably cute. Its kelly green cover, decorated with pink and white doodles by illustrator Thu Tran, is a reliable indicator of the book\u2019s tone and content in the best way possible. But just because Lhooq\u2019s debut book is cute doesn\u2019t mean it lacks substance. In fact, it\u2019s veritably overflowing with information.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWeed: Everything You Want to Know\u2026\u201d is Lhooq is a seasoned party journalist (yes, it\u2019s a thing, and yes, it\u2019s as cool as it sounds) who\u2019s hosted \u201cweed raves\u201d on both coasts, and her bona fides as a writer and as a genuine head shine through in all 159 pages of this book. She\u2019s a sharp, entertaining writer who manages to avoid condescending to her pool of presumably greener potheads-to-be. Although I found myself skimming some of the more basic sections, like the earlier ones describing various terpenes<\/a> and cannabinoids<\/a>, I found this book very readable \u2014 even as someone with an above-average cannabis knowledge base.<\/p>\n One of the things that really sets this book apart from potential peers is the steady stream of interviews \u2014 with figures both central and tangential to the modern world of weed \u2014 peppered throughout its various sections. Lhooq is a skillful interviewer and selected interesting people from all over the cannabis industry, from a recent Oaksterdam<\/a> graduate to a \u201ccannasexual\u201d sex educator to a weed sommelier. These additional voices add depth and dimension to the book\u2019s overall arch and neatly illustrate one of its primary theses: Enjoying cannabis should be a collective and collaborative experience.<\/p>\n While I wouldn\u2019t necessarily give this book to a Instead, it\u2019s got an \u201cof-the-moment\u201d vibe and a TELL US<\/strong>, what\u2019s your favorite cannabis book?<\/p>\n The post Book Review: \u2018Weed: Everything You Want To Know But Are Always Too Stoned To Ask\u2019 Is Instructive Fun<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ndivided into six sections: How It Works, How to Smoke, How to Make, How to
\nGrow, How to Be and How to Score. Each of these sections contains a variety of
\ninserts and asides, from straight how-tos like recipes and joint-rolling
\ninstructions to dispensary reviews, jokey illustrated lists and annotated
\ndiagrams explaining things like the inner workings of pipes and bongs.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cannabiscultivatornews.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/weed-book-cover.jpg\")

\nseasoned weed smoker or everyday dabber, I think it would make a great gift,
\nespecially for a friend who is looking to gain a hearty background on the
\nmodern weed scene but who\u2019s less interested in the nitty gritty of cannabis,
\nespecially when it comes to global and national cannabis policy or the inner
\nworkings of cannabusiness. Not that those subjects feel like omissions \u2014
\ninstead, they\u2019d probably make the book feel flimsy and, soon, dated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nCool Older Sister voice, both of which make it the kind of book I would have
\ndevoured as a teenager \u2014 right alongside other Urban-Outfitters-approved guides
\nto fashion and pop culture. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
