How to Smoke Pot (Properly)

A Highbrow Guide to Getting High

By: David Bienenstock

Narrated by: Graham Halstead

Once literally demonized as "the Devil's lettuce" and linked to all manner of deviant behavior by the establishment's shameless antimarijuana propaganda campaigns, Cannabis sativa has lately been enjoying a long-overdue Renaissance. So now that the squares at long last seem ready to rethink pot's place in polite society, how, exactly, can members of this vibrant, innovative, life-affirming culture proudly and properly emerge from the underground - without forgetting our roots or losing our cool?

In How to Smoke Pot (Properly), VICE weed columnist and former High Times editor David Bienenstock charts the course for this bold new postprohibition world. With plenty of stops along the way for "pro tips" from friends in high places, including cannabis celebrities and thought leaders of the marijuana movement, listeners will learn 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.

Critic reviews

"It's a healthy development that society has reached the point where it needed this book, and I'm glad someone of David Bienenstock's eloquence and experience has written it." (Doug Fine, author of Hemp Bound)

Cannabis, oh how I love thee.

I absolutely love Bean. This book is full of the great information he always provides and full of the puns he's known for. Brilliant delivery of vital information and with a nice dose of the signature humor. It rifts effortlessly on lots of what the podcast Great Moments in Weed History is all about. My only irritant is the narrator calling Tricomes "Trickhomes" and other small mispronounced words. It did not however take away form the content. Very good read for anyone curious about the bud that we love to roast.

Informative and Entertaining

The narrator was excellent. Content was exactly what I hoped for and more. Really enjoyed.
