Chill: The Wine Lover's Introduction to Cannabis

Book Cover




Looking for the perfect gift for the wine lover who has everything? CHILL - The Wine Lover’s Introduction to Cannabis is a witty, eye-opening guide that swaps corks for gummies and tannins for terpenes. It’s the ultimate pairing of sophistication and curiosity, blending wine’s elegance with cannabis know-how. Whether they’re curious or clueless, this book will inspire a whole new kind of tasting adventure. Fun, fresh, and undeniably chill—this is the gift they didn’t know they needed!

Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious beginner, Chill is your ticket to unlocking the secrets of cannabis with the sophistication of a true wine lover.

It was only in the mid 1970’s when wineries started to attract large-scale visitors in the U.S. Shortly after that, wine clubs started to boom, popularizing tastings, wine parties, and greatly increasing the average person’s interest in and knowledge of wines.

With the legalization and accessibility of cannabis sweeping across North America and beyond, the mainstreaming of marijuana has ushered in a new crop of consumers.

Welcome to Chill: The Wine Lover's Introduction to Cannabis, a unique guide that blends the elegance of wine culture with the emerging post-legalization world of cannabis.

Chill offers a fresh perspective on cannabis consumption, reminiscent of beginner's wine guides, tackling the questions you've hesitated to ask. From understanding different strains to mastering the art of social smoking, this book is your go-to companion on the journey to cannabis enlightenment.

Leverage your knowledge of wine! Drawing parallels between popular strains and beloved wine varietals, Chill invites you to savour the nuances of both worlds. And as a delightful bonus, consider Chill as your mini cannabis cookbook. Discover irresistible recipes for weed and wine-infused delicacies, including a transcendent pot brownie that promises to elevate your experience.

Were you brought up to believe that wine is all about celebration, class, and sophistication but weed is nothing but the devil’s lettuce? Are you a cannabis-curious wine lover? Would you like to appreciate different strains of marijuana just like you appreciate different vintages of wine, now that cannabis is legal in Canada and, increasingly, in the United States? Then this is the book for you.

Chill offers the cannabis education you've been looking for. It helps us look at cannabis in a new way, bringing it from behind the beaded curtain into the respectable dining rooms of those with a taste for the finer things: wine lovers. Definitely not one of your ordinary books about cannabis.

Lidia has one job: to convince the psychiatrist at the center of her criminal case that she really is telling the truth about her past lives, outside the scope of present-day New York. If she fails to win him over, the world as they know it will be overtaken by the influence of a fugitive from another dimension, capable of corrupting the minds of countless innocent people in its bid to destroy existence. If Lidia's story doesn't strike a chord with the doctor, the whole world may pay the price.

During the Middle Age's most turbulent era of strife, a colossal wall of white fire inexplicably spreads across Europe, burning everything in its path. Against his better judgement, a soldier named Maddock abandons his isolated life to lead a village of desperate survivors to the mountains where deep caves might protect them from the inferno's destruction. Scrambling to stay ahead of the fire, the group gets caught in the middle of a savage battle between two rival armies who've been forced to confront each other midst the chaos. Competing for the protection of the depths underneath Jagged Peak, the refugees come to realize that there are things in life far more dangerous than a ravenous fire. Below the surface, the machinations of a temporal anomaly responsible for the dimensional fugitive, threatens to tear their delicate world apart. The same exile Lidia fears may have broken through to the modern era. Unless they can survive long enough to find him inside the mountain, everything they hold dear may be at risk.
