I LOVE this comic. it's so good and informative!
i described it at the first read as "years and years of conversations and teachings about weed wrapped up in an 80 page comic book" and i still learned more from this book.
highly recommend whether you are a life-long stoer or just beginning!

This was a cute little comic about the basics of smoking weed. It provided some helpful vocabulary in a non-judgmental, beginner-friendly light, and definitely would be helpful information before an initial visit to a dispensary.

Adorable and informative. Not much substance to the story, but I don't think storytelling was the primary motivation of the book.

3,5/5. That was weird... Original and kind of good, but weird. This book is some kind of educational comic book about weed. How to smoke, what it is, varieties, how to clean a pipe and more... It does provide good useful info (even if very basic stuff), but I'm not so sure at the targeted readers here...

Really cute illustrations and extremely informational. Not a full five stars since I just can't justify it going up there with my all time favorites. I found nothing particularly wrong with it, it just wasn't a favorite for me. It didn't surprise me in a good or bad way. It just was. The style is extremely beautiful and it made me look up the creators' other works. I'm very impressed. I also really liked the flow of the story. The information would be GREAT for someone just getting into smoking weed. I smoke regularly and I still learned a handful of things! Always better to be informed! The characters were amazing (Hello, LGBT+ rep!) and I loved the color scheme. All in all, it was a very good read, but it just wasn't a favorite for me so I can't justify a full 5 stars.

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.
