For those of my readers in Seattle, be sure to visit Third Place Books and meet David Bienenstock, VICE weed columnist and author of “How To Smoke Pot (Properly).” This is part of David’s book tour in support of his exciting new book. On May 18th, David is at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park. On May 20th, his final stop will be Oakland Museum of California for “Altered State: Marijuana in California,” the first-ever museum exhibition to focus on marijuana in California today.
Once linked to all manner of deviant behavior and literally demonized as the “Devil’s Lettuce,” cannabis sativa has recently enjoyed a long-overdue renaissance. David Bienenstock charts the course for this bold new post-prohibition world, with suggestions on how to best utilize and appreciate a plant that’s at once a lifesaving medicine, an incredibly nutritious food, an amazingly useful industrial crop, and a truly renewable energy source.
Press raves so far include Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Food & Wine, Slate.com, Mashable, Comics Grinder, and elsewhere. See you at Third Place Books.
