As useful as it is beautiful, Higher: The Lore, Legends and Legacy of Cannabis is your<\/em> visual companion for exploring the magic and facts of marijuana. Featuring a timeline on \u201cthe history of getting high,\u201d exquisite plant anatomy illustrations, telling stories of the rise and spread of modern cannabis, and over 100 full-page strain photographs all worthy of a spot on the wall, Higher <\/em>is one book you won\u2019t want to let your friends borrow.<\/p>\n As author Dan Michaels so candidly puts it, the modern era of legalization is \u201ca pothead\u2019s dream.\u201d Even so, the choices in this rapidly evolving market are often overwhelming\u2014even for the longtime consumer. In his 2023 release of Higher: The Lore, Legends and Legacy of Cannabis,<\/em> Michaels addresses the chaos by clearly and pragmatically organizing scientific facts with stories about cannabis culture. It cuts through the confusion, educating and reminding cannabis enthusiasts about the true magic of this plant. Armed with both facts and beauty, this important book engages the senses, asking readers to appreciate, respect and learn.<\/p>\n Some might describe Higher<\/em> as a coffee table book due to photographer Erik Christiansen\u2019s stunning imagery. Christiansen is a pioneer of focus-stacked cannabis photography. Others may call it a handy field guide, as they aim to identify varying cultivars and their genetic makeups. Still, others will consider Higher<\/em> a historical text covering cannabis\u2019 modern-day evolution. It\u2019s easy to thumb through the publication and gain snippets of information on different strains\u2014from growing techniques to historical origins. At a not insignificant heft of 313-pages, Higher<\/em> might be most aptly described as a textbook, well-deserving of a spot on a college 101 cannabis course syllabus.<\/p>\n While not unlike a field guide in its purpose, Higher<\/em> is much more. Not only does the book cover cultivars and plant anatomy, but it also dives into origin stories, prohibition, breeding and consumption methods. Readers will learn how to judge the quality of their bud and how to store flower for the utmost freshness. With Michaels\u2019 comprehensive cannabis overview and Christiansen\u2019s inspiring photos, Higher<\/em> is one book you\u2019re sure to return time and time again.<\/p>\n The post Higher: The Lore, Legends and Legacy of Cannabis<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
