Review of Words of Weedsdom
Cee D's non-fiction work, Words of Weedsdom, delves into her personal perception of cannabis compared to societal views. This book presents a plethora of enlightening insights and factual information about cannabis and its derivatives. The book is thoughtfully divided into five sections. Part one, titled 'Beginnings—New and Old,' recounts her initiation into cannabis and her motivations for exploring this psychedelic substance. Part Two, 'In Good Company,' introduces us to her cherished companions, including Jem, her cat, and Kitkat. Part three, 'Know Thy Enemy,' discusses the nuances of cannabis, encompassing its benefits, drawbacks, tools, varieties, metabolism, and effects. Part four, 'Body and Mind,' explores her experiences and coping mechanisms during the cannabis high. Part five, 'Bud-dism,' delves into the community of spiritualists who incorporate marijuana into their meditation practices. Parts six, 'Second Sight,' which documents her excursions and part seven, 'To Thine Own Self,' offer a glimpse into her love life and how she filtered her relationships through the lens of cannabis.
This book primarily aims to illustrate how the author has utilized marijuana to embark on a journey of spirituality and self-discovery, viewing it as a tool to reach states unattainable in her sober state.
Simultaneously, the book seeks to rectify misconceptions surrounding cannabis and its usage. Society has often stigmatized cannabis users, branding them as underachievers and losers. Cee D counters this by highlighting accomplished individuals from various walks of life who have openly acknowledged the role of marijuana in sharpening their mental acuity.
Interestingly, she contrasts the promotion of more harmful substances such as alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine with the demonization of cannabis, despite its relatively lower risk. She also distinguishes between smoking and vaping, emphasizing the latter's reduced harm due to the absence of smoke. Her explanations of marijuana's metabolism and its effects on achieving a state of highness offer valuable insights derived from extensive research.
Cee D's narrative gracefully unveils her personal journey, from her childhood as a solitary individual to her quest for a deeper purpose in life. Those who have experienced isolation can relate to her story, finding solace in her journey of self-discovery. I agreed with almost everything she said, especially about the young adults that society has been trying to teach how to live, and honestly, there has not been any difference.
One particular thing I took away from this book is that your happiness does not depend on anyone else but you. Even when you are happily married, individual happiness will always guarantee a happy home. You don't need to sacrifice yourself to make someone else happy or look up to someone to make you happy. I do not see any reason to dislike this book.
The book boasts impeccable organization, complete with accurate page references. Cee D's conversational writing style fosters a sense of intimacy, as if she were sharing her experiences in person. It's crucial to note that her experiences are unique and may not represent those of all marijuana users, but they do serve as a testament to the potential benefits of responsible usage.
The author's genuine friendship with Jem and her budding relationship with Jason add a touch of authenticity to the narrative. Readers will find themselves engaged in these interpersonal dynamics as well as in the broader themes of happiness and self-reliance.
In summary, Words of Weedsdom is a well-crafted and relatable exploration of cannabis and its impact on the author's life. Despite minor errors, the book's delivery and relatability warrant a solid five out of five stars. I highly recommend it to those seeking fresh perspectives on cannabis and its usage, as well as psychologists interested in understanding marijuana user behavior.
