Curl up with one of these 50 titles curated by Leafly Staff
The beauty of reading is that a book can take you anywhere. Whether you like to read physical copies or on a screen, books have the ability to take us on adventures and teach us new things.
To celebrate just how much we love books, we’ve assembled a list of our 50 favorite books to read while high. From fiction books filled with classic conundrums to non-fiction books that will open up your mind, each book on this list will give you the opportunity to relax, ponder, learn, or all three!
Don’t forget to swing by your favorite dispensary to stock up on weed before you snuggle in with one of your new favorite books. Once you start reading, you might get hooked. 😉
