Art can be confusing. Luckily, there’s marijuana. This book pairs fifty classic works from all around the world with unique cannabis recommendations.
 
High Art gives you answers to questions that have long plagued art history students, such as Is there an edible that will help me understand Cubism? (Yes!) Can a cannabis strain connect me more deeply to late-period Van Gogh? (Of course!) And Should I be intimidated by the work of William Blake? (Very much so—but cannabis extracts can help.)

To get in touch with your inner self while viewing Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat, toke on some of Gravita’s Red-Headed Stranger and really feel the brush strokes wash over you. Or while viewing Henri Rousseau’s 1910 Tropical Forest with Monkeys, you might smoke some mild Purple Monkey followed by a snack of THC-infused dried fruits for a body float that will allow you to connect with your primitive nature.

So whether you know a lot about art and nothing about cannabis or a lot about cannabis and nothing about art, it’s high time you expanded your mind.
Robert Lambrechts works in advertising and would be grateful if you didn’t hold that against him. When not working or writing, he spends his time in Northern California where he enjoys tormenting his wife and kids with the band Rush.

Estefanio Holtz is a creative based in Brooklyn, New York, who is passionate about great concepts and the stunning visuals that make them remarkable. Originally from Brazil, he spends his time working in advertising and on some side projects and collabing on books and music videos. If a scatterbrained individual bumps into you around Greenpoint, that could be him pondering his next project.
An Introduction of Sorts


Let’s face it, art can be confusing. Luckily, cannabis can help.

There is a decent chance that at least once in your life you’ve seen a piece of art and thought to yourself, “What the f*** was the artist smoking when they created this?” Now, finally, you have the answer. Or at least you’ll find yourself in the right mindset for understanding it a little better.

In this book you will find amazing oil paintings, sculptures, and statues along with a little explanation of what they’re all about. And if art still doesn’t make any sense, that’s fine, because for each piece, this book also provides you with a solid cannabis recommendation to help you elevate your experience.

Get it.* Smoke it. Take another look. Art is dope!


*Here’s a reminder from our lawyers that cannabis laws vary by state. You the reader are responsible for figuring out what the law is in your own jurisdiction. There, we said it.
