• How to bring it to a dinner party or give it as a gift
• Why eating it is different from inhaling it
• How to respectfully use it as a guest
• Why different strains affect you in different ways
• How to be behave at a dispensary
• How to tackle pot faux pas such as "canoed" joints and "lawn-mowed" bowls
This handy guide also provides a primer on the diverse array of cannabis products and methods of use, illuminating the many convenient and accessible options available to everyone from experienced users to newbies and the canna-curious.

How to be Cannabis Polite and Ditch the Stigmas
This book offers excellent advice on how to be polite in a cannabis-friendly world. It gives guidance on how to navigate overlapping boundaries. For example, what do you do if you are invited to a cannabis-friendly party but you do not enjoy cannabis? What are the hosts' obligations? Or what if the party is not cannabis-friendly but you wish to consume? When is it OK to ask someone if they have consumed and when is it not? How do you respect someone's medical needs? These and more questions are answered and with just enough chemistry information to provide a comfortable understanding of what is being bought and consumed and how it is politely being done in our current society. It could be very useful to parents and teachers, even if they do not consume, to provide children with the information they need to understand what is currently known about the pitfalls of cannabis consumption and why, as with alcohol, it is best they wait until they are of age to consume cannabis legally, should they be tempted to do so. Gone are the scare tactics and here to stay, hopefully, are the facts that encourage personal responsibility. I highly recommend this book, as it encourages respect and the practice of making others comfortable with cannabis culture. No one should ever feel forced to consume but should also refrain from being judgy about others' consumption. Needless to say, all of the other issues with etiquette remain the same. Consumption must be done with dignity and sensitivity to the needs of others. This book shows you how to do that and experience joy.
encouragement to openly discuss cannabis
Interesting read about the growing acceptance of cannabis especially in green states like mine. reinforces the notion that you should not repeat pejorative terms like "weed" "pot" "dope"etc as these terms perpetuate the negative view of what is a legal substance in many places. Nothing earth shattering here, cannabis users know how to share, but remember to be respectful. interesting to leave in your bathroom or coffee table as a conversation starter.
Good taste can be a learned art.
I love this book. It removes those pesky stigmas that lurk in country clubs and thanksgiving dinners. What to do with that joint. How to tactfully deal with all those edibles and why you are dying to try a cannabis cocktail. Really? Yes indeed. Perhaps it was the good manners thing, yes dear they are important. Good taste endears you to fellow stoners. Listen yo!
really helpful!
The book makes great use of diagrams and cartoons to detail the meaning behind the text. A really valuable book I intend to gift to others!
Good manners are appropriate in every situation
I bought this as a gift and it was well-received. It's not my sort of topic, I did read it to make sure it was appropriate and now I know how to politely refuse if offered something that good manners don't require me to accept. Good manners are appropriate in every situation.
Beautiful book
Great read and love the HIGH quality!
Great book
Excellent book on a seldom discussed topic
Interesting and Informative
Living in a state where cannabis is becoming legal for recreational use in 6 days, this was an interesting, informative, and at times humorous read. It definitely helped in expanding my perspective on the various experiences possible and has me thinking much more proactively about what the transition from prohibition to legalization will mean in both personal and professional aspects of my life.
