Savage Epicurean

What is cannabis, really?

For many, it is just a word with a simple meaning: "Drugs," "Narcotics," "Illegal."
But under responsible use and the right circumstances, cannabis can become something much greater.
A tool to open doors inward - to feelings, reflections, and thoughts we otherwise don't see or choose to avoid.
In this book, you get to follow me through two months in Thailand, where cannabis became a catalyst for introspection.
In its mind-altering state, I experience everyday interactions, meet new and familiar people, and return to times that once shaped me: depression, bullying, violence, sex addiction, loneliness, and loss. But also to what lifted me: laughter and love, strategy and discipline, care and gratitude toward the invaluable people who gave life warmth.
In this book, I explore how cannabis changes consciousness and the senses - how it makes the uncomfortable easier to face and the everyday beautiful easier to see.

Through reflections, emotions, philosophy and personal insights, a journey is woven together about how humans grow and find peace, both in the grand existential and the small everyday.
This is not just a book about cannabis. It is a book about the consciousness behind the human being - and what happens when you uncompromisingly dare to truly see yourself.

NOTE: The cannabis used during the writing of the book was used under legal circumstances and comes from tax-paying companies in Thailand.
