Your First Cannabis Experience: A Beginner’s Guide to Buying, Growing, Cooking, and Healing with Cannabis

Great experiences with cannabis start with knowledge, moderation, and mindfulness. In this book, you’ll learn the foundation to create a great cannabis experience for yourself and your guests

Most people have learned how to use alcohol and prescription drugs appropriately, but very few of us have been educated about using cannabis appropriately. Cannabis education has been practically nonexistent due to the influences of legal prohibition and the stigma around this plant.

Your Cannabis Experience changes that. This manual introduces the reader to cannabis history and botany basics and helps them prep for their first experience with cannabis, making it enjoyable and safe. It discusses how to shop at a legal cannabis dispensary, as well as how to grow a cannabis plant. With easy recipes for tinctures, beverages, and edibles, as well as instructions for lotions, potions, and spa items, this book guarantees a comfortable and respectable experience with cannabis for every novice entering this wonderful world.

This book is for every beginner--young adults, senior citizens, and everyone in-between--and for anyone who hasn’t touched cannabis since college and now finds themselves living in a state or country that has recently legalized cannabis, or even for regular users desiring a refresher course in all-things basic cannabis. This colorful guide is also for people who have had less than satisfying or uncomfortable experiences with cannabis and are interested in learning more about this fabulous flower and trying again.
