But as legalization spreads, there is so much more to consider when partaking in social settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">The plant\u2019s presence is out in the open more than ever before, and for the many people that are just now starting to explore the wonderful world of weed, there\u2019s a lot to learn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Believe it or not, the Emily Post Institute \u2014 the go-to gurus of etiquette in the United States and beyond \u2014 first addressed how a host should consider cannabis in 1982. The \u201cParty Preparations\u201d section of \u201cThe Complete Book of Entertaining from The Emily Post Institute\u201d explained:<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Sans\">\u201cAnother problem that many hostesses face today is that of the guests who want to smoke marijuana. If the hostess approves of the practice and is untroubled by the fact that it is illegal, of course she has no problem. But if she does not approve and is concerned about people breaking the law in her home, she should say so firmly. The moment she sees the first joint being lighted or passed around she should tell her guests that she\u2019s sorry if she\u2019s being a spoilsport, but she doesn\u2019t want people smoking in her home where she would be held responsible if the illegal use of marijuana were detected. Then rather than letting the group continue to sit and chat, she should get some lively games or activities under way to distract them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Fair enough. While there is no trace of its namesake\u2019s personal opinion on the subject (although she was a vocal anti-prohibitionist during her time) and few mentions in further editions of its long-running series of books, her great-great-granddaughter has emerged as the expert on marijuana manners with the just-released \u201cHigher Etiquette: A Guide to the World of Cannabis, from Dispensaries to Dinner Parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Among the family\u2019s youngest and fifth generation, Lizzie Post is co-president of the Post Institute, where\u2019s she\u2019s worked as an author and spokesperson for the past decade. A self-proclaimed cannabis supporter for 20 years, the 36-year-old was born, raised and still resides in Burlington, Vermont.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cGrowing up in a state that has long been known for being cannabis-friendly, it was never an unknown in my world and never was something that was really confusing or scary,\u201d Post said in a recent phone interview. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t taboo. For me, (cannabis) is something I have really appreciated having in my life and I consume it regularly \u2014 if not daily \u2014 and I wanted to put that affection into this project. I love this plant and connecting with people over it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">After polishing her proposal with Penguin Random House\u2019s Ten Speed Press, Post set out to do just that. She spent four months on the road for research, staying with friends, acquaintances and Airbnb hosts as she crisscrossed legal states from Colorado and California to Oregon and Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Back in Burlington, she put what she describes as \u201ca huge learning curve coming from a state, which at that point had only legalized home grows,\u201d into 176 pages of tips and terminology, which combine the long-established practices of smoking pot with the Post Institute\u2019s tried-and-true principles into a definitive guide for the modern cannabis consumer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">She defines etiquette as \u201ca behavior that affects two people,\u201d and now that cannabis users are coming out of the closet and into the open at dinner parties, weddings and even the workplace, Post answers the common questions on how to integrate cannabis into any situation with class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">Throughout the text filled with historical anecdotes, scientific facts and insider lingo, it\u2019s apparent that Post is a true cannabis connoisseur, effectively and humorously educating consumers at any level of experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI really hope that more people can find the freedom to be confident about their consumption,\u201d Post said of her goal in capturing the current state of cannabis etiquette. \u201cThere is obviously still a stigma surrounding cannabis and if having (the) Emily Post (brand) say it helps, then I\u2019m just really grateful to have the opportunity to push it forward,\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">She added: \u201cI am proud that (the Post Institute) has finally entered the conversation \u2014 we\u2019ve talked about American life for the past 100 years and cannabis is now a big part of American life today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><em>Katie Shapiro can be reached at <a href=\"mailto:katie@katieshapiromedia.com\">katie@katieshapiromedia.com<\/a> or followed on Twitter @bykatieshapiro<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/weekly\/higher-etiquettesub-learn-your-marijuana-manners-in-emily-posts-great-great-granddaughters-new-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lizzie Post&#8217;s &#8220;HIgher Etiquettte&#8221; details the do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts of marijana manners.Courtesy Ten Speed Press Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of etiquette icon Emily Post, has published a new book about cannabis manners.Nadia Hucko\/Courtesy photo Illustration by Sam Kalda Illustration by Sam Kalda Show CaptionsHide Captions The unspoken rules of the \u201cpuff, puff, pass\u201d ritual are ingrained [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2442822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-16 13:54:23","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2442822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442822\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2442822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2442822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2442822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
