Cannabis Is Medicine

Healing Everything from Anxiety to Chronic Pain

The endocannabinoid system is one of the most essential regulatory systems in the body. In this interesting book, Dr. Goldstein explains the current state of scientific research on how cannabis interacts with human physiology to create homeostasis—balance—leading to good health. She also discusses the various compounds of cannabis, dosing, possible side effects, and shares many case studies. The author is a well-respected clinician with over 13 years of cannabis clinical experience.

Quotes:

I know a lot of the health benefits of cannabis, but I didn't know the role of all the different phytocannabinoids. I didn't know how to read a lab report on cannabis. I didn't know using cannabis containing CBD prevents developing tolerance. The first half of the book teaches the science of cannabis as medicine and the second half goes over medical conditions and cannabis' effects. - David S

The author, Dr. Bonni Goldstein is a traditionally trained medical doctor. She witnessed the failure of traditional medicine to heal certain conditions in her patients. She also witnessed the healing powers of cannabis for patients unable to find relief with traditional treatments. This led her to research the endocannabinoid system. She now has years of clinical experience treating many conditions for both adult and pediatric patients, some of which are documented in this book. She is an internationally recognized authority on the subject. - BG Sahyoun
