This was a fantastic quick read! Took me about 30 minutes I believe and I genuinely loved every minute.
This is an incredibly educational book to teach what weed is, what being high is, how to smoke, and other things relating to cannabis, such as CBD, growing weed, and how to deal with getting too high.
This book perfectly balances the fun, comic, dialogue look with a few full pages of educational focus on indica, sativa, and CBD.
This books seems to have been made for all ages. It’s written in a simple language while explaining its occasional jargon, but surprisingly never says an age at which someone could/should start smoking. I think this is because it also talks about CBD, something usually not meant for recreational use and often used at all ages. So while I know showing this book to young kids may not be your preference, it’s not a book that pressures them to smoke. It extremely educational, warning them of the a few dangers and showing different preferences.
I will say that this is very much a starter guide. There are undoubtedly larger, more textbook-like books that can possibly give you more information, but I really appreciate how much information this little book was able to pack in.
And this goes all without mentioning the stoner lesbian couple. They stole my heart and I love them.

This was a really cool book. It is very different from other non-fiction graphic novels that I have read in the past but I think that was one of the things that I liked about it. This book is all about weed. Yes, the smokeable plant that can get you high. I found it to be very informative and I actually ended up learning quite a bit of stuff about weed. They explain the difference between the types of weeds that can be grown and how they can affect the body. The book was very non-judgemental and was really great about saying that there was no wrong way to smoke or not smoke. I showed all the different ways that you can use weed such as tinctures for pain or smoking just for fun. I really appreciated the huge amount of information that this book had in it. From the different strains, to what THC and CBD are, to how to keep your tools clean, and how to be safe when smoking. I think that this is a great book to add to any non-fiction collection for people who are curious about what weed is and how to enjoy it (if they want to).

How Do You Smoke a Weed is an amusing and quick introduction to marijuana. I only wish it was available years ago when I was in college!
We accompany Sprout as he learns all about how to smoke a weed (or, how to smoke weed!). The comic conveys a lot of useful information in a fun way, including the chemicals in weed, the different kinds of weed, how to roll a joint, and even what to do if you get too high (very practical information, indeed!). And if all that isn’t enough, there is a helpful glossary at the end to help get you up to speed with the lingo.
How Do You Smoke a Weed is a fun way to learn about marijuana, whether medical or recreational, and also a good way to get reacquainted and learn more about recent information and new developments in the world of weed.
Thank you to Letter Better Publishing Services - Iron Circus Comics and a NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

How Do You Smoke A Weed? is a delightful comic book read for a number of reasons, and one that I would definitely recommend.
The art style is very cute and fun, with a colour scheme that is really easy on the eyes. I read this while sober, but I imagine the art also makes for pleasant viewing while baked. The story itself is cute and fun, following a newbie along with some helpful friends as they explore weed. I read this for the facts, but the story made me smile.
The facts are straightforward, and the advice is practical. Ranging from basic information about types of weed and methods of consumption to practical advice about keeping healthy snacks handy and what to do if you get too high, the information covered here is exactly what I hoped for. Anyone who is even a little new to smoking weed should find information here that helps them or leaves them feeling generally more informed. I think it's also helpful stuff for anyone who isn't interested in using weed but has many friends who do.
Honestly, this book offered me exactly what I hoped for based on the title and cover. It was a fun read with lots of info, and if that's what you're looking for, you've found the right book.

The world is changing. Marijuana is being made legal in so many states. When white men figure out how to capitalize on something that so many black men have been jailed for, of course it will take the fast track to being legal. I saw this book on NetGalley and was extremely curious what it was about. As the book says, ‰ЫПWeed isn‰ЫЄt for everyone, but learning is!‰Ыќ Interesting info on the science behind weed. And it seems to be a decent instructional guide for newbies.
Thanks to NetGalley and Iron Circus Comics for a copy in return for an honest review.
