Weed: The User's Guide: A 21st Century Handbook for Enjoying Marijuana is a 2016 book about cannabis by Seattle writer David Schmader. Schmader is also a writer for The Stranger, a Seattle alt weekly newspaper, where he writes a cannabis column as of August 2016^[update]. The book is in part a cannabis cookbook, containing an edibles recipe section.

Critical reception

Critics of the book said it is "beautifully designed" and a "smartly written pot primer", but misses some information like quick decarboxylation of cannabis in a home oven. One critic said the book was "testament to the progress, triumph and privilege of legalized recreational marijuana in the author's state" of Washington.
