Put down the phone and crack open one of these books after a refreshing sesh.

We’re all aware that weed heightens any sensation or experience, and the same goes for reading a book or story. Your concentration is like no other when stoned, even when you’re on the comedown and want to fall asleep.

The age-old argument that books are better than movies is amplified when high, as you’re able to create such detailed scenarios in your mind that movies simply can’t recreate.
