Almost 100 years after her great-great-grandmother published the book that set the standard for modern manners, Lizzie Post is bringing us a guide for how to get stoned — politely
“When we talk about etiquette, we’re talking about consideration and respect and honesty and how those principles can be used to create positive social interactions,” Post tells. “If cannabis is legal and it’s finding its way into our social scenes much more broadly, it makes perfect sense to have our company commenting on it.”
After a career writing about high society, Emily Post published her first book on etiquette at age 50, covering topics such as how to pay the bill at a restaurant and how to behave at afternoon teas. The book’s popularity made Emily Post’s name synonymous with the proper manners. Over the subsequent century, Post’s decedents updated the guide to reflect changes in culture, with Lizzie Post adding her contributions to the most recent 18th and 19th editions.
The institute’s goal, the younger Post says, is to provide clarity when it comes to sticky social situations in American life. And asand decriminalize recreational marijuana, cannabis consumption and culture are increasingly a part of such modern American life. “So many people are less ashamed in being a cannabis consumer and they feel like they’re not going to be as judged,” Post says.
With her family’s support, Post, a cannabis consumer herself, assembled a guide on weed manners. With chapters devoted to proper dispensary behavior and appropriate conversation topics with your cannabis delivery person, the book relies heavily on situational anecdotes and advice.touches both on broad topics — like how to be inclusive of friends who consume as well as those who do not partake — and the nitty-gritty.
As for her long-deceased relative’s stance on ganja, Post isn’t so sure about Emily’s perspective. Though the elder Post was known to abstain from alcohol, she was a proponent of the repeal of Prohibition. This gives Post hope Emily would’ve been on board with cannabis legalization. “She wanted people to make decisions for themselves about what they were consuming,” Post says. “She was someone that had a potential to surprise people.
