As we mentally prepare for a full month of COVID-19 quarantine ahead<\/a>, cannabis and books are two go-to saviors (best enjoyed together) from social media screen time and the barrage of bad news. Whether you\u2019re an industry insider reeling from conference cancellations<\/a><\/i>, an entrepreneur looking to get into the business, or just want to learn more about legalization, I\u2019ve curated a coronavirus cannabis reading list from my own library for these trying times. From two classics authored by pioneering activists to an Emily Post Institute-approved guide on marijuana manners, here are ten texts to take a casual cannabis consumer to an expert-level enthusiast. <\/p>\n

Note: Books are listed alphabetically, not ranked. Now stay home and stay high. <\/em><\/p>\n
