⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating and informative look at the history, research, and uses of CBD!

This book is fascinating! I knew that parts of cannabis could be used for medicinal purposes aside from pain relief, but I didn’t know the extent. This really was an informative and interesting dive into the uses of CBD for healing. I like that this was written by someone with extensive medical knowledge – it lends a layer of validity to the content that might otherwise be missing. I like that she includes the sociopolitical history of cannabis in order to give context for why a book like this is necessary. I found her guide to CBD products to be incredibly helpful and thorough. Although she explains different substances and research in medical terms, she does so in a way that is fairly easy to follow, and I think it adds a lot to this book. It’s not just about how to use CBD for yourself – it’s about understanding the science and history behind CBD.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Turned a sceptic into a believer

I was super sceptical of CBD oil. It seemed like it was just a way to circumvent laws around marijuana use. But I was totally wrong. The first thing this book makes clear is that CBD doesn’t lead to intoxication. From there, the author does an incredible job of laying out how different types of CBD oil can help with a variety of different conditions. I was especially interested in the chapters about anxiety and sleeping disorders. I learned some important facts, like the biphasic nature of CBD oil (essentially, low doses and high doses have opposite effects). I also learned about the various ways to ingest CBD and the pros and cons of each. All in all, this has been a great educational read. I feel informed and ready to go to the local CBD store to get started!

This book is a great book for anyone looking to use CBD as medical alternative. It gives the history of Cannabis, how cannabidiol effects the body, what is cannabidiol, is cannabidiol safe, sources of cannabidiol (cannabis and hemp), health conditions helped by cannabidiol, using cannabidiol, how much is needed for a patient, and finding products that can be trusted. I got this book because I have personally seen the difference CBD’s have made for someone with chronic pain. Prescriptions drugs were the only alternative for many years and cannabidiol was looked down upon by physicians and pain management.. The side effects from opiates and other controlled substance were debilitating both mentally and physically. Now much more research has been done and cannabidol is being used in the medical field. If you have considered researching CBD, this book is very informative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have book for understanding in use of medical cannabis to treat myriad health issues

As a registered nurse who is expected to know about medical cannabis and interested in helping people through their serious illnesses or just to know more about medical cannabis as an option, this book is absolutely incredible and a must have. Aside from that, this is one of the most user friendly, honest and well-written books of ANY kind that I have ever read. I recommend it highly. And finally, if you read it in public spaces like I have, don’t be shocked if older people ask you what you think of the book and then proceed to inform you of how they use cannabis for their ailments. If we are to truly care for the people among us who have debilitating illnesses, it is imperative that we know how to use high-quality medical cannabis products to help them. This book can help both the patient and the health practitioner to have a straightforward guide to navigating the daunting paths to recovery using medical cannabis.

I have read many books related to cannabis and CBD, but I really loved this book! It’s written in such a way that you really connect with the writer, the plant itself and gain so much knowledge on the value of CBD and cannabis. I just ordered 12 books to give to my Physician colleagues. Amazing job Eileen!
