Please
note that this book is not a book about abusing medicinal marijuana, or
marijuana in general. It’s not a book
about “getting high.” It was written
with data-based and peer reviewed evidence specifically for those who use
medicinal marijuana as an adjunct for the treatment of conditions for which it
has been indicated and expands and clarifies information about the
non-psychoactive properties of CBD (cannabidiol) which are also used for a
growing number of problems and conditions.

any of these but who also wants to go deeper and see if there are any
unrecognized issues that may be generating a physical problem or difficulties
in their relationships with self, others and the God of their understanding.
Endorsements
As a British psychiatrist, I enjoyed reading this new book.
I believe it will become an important bible for clinicians who may
prescribe Medicinal Marijuana.
I was impressed by how well you balanced the scientific issues alongside
personal reflections and the latest evidence-based clinical approaches to
illnesses that can benefit from Medicinal Marijuana.

I like the fact that in this book you’re
recommending marijuana not as just an anti-anxiety medication, but as a vehicle
to help explore the underlying issues.

Barbara Harris provides an excellent
resource that cuts through old myths and misinformation to give the reader her
well-informed considerations for exploring the new world of medicinal marijuana
use.
With the increasing number of states and
countries legalizing marijuana for medicinal use comes the urgent need for
reliable information and guidance on the positive uses of marijuana and the dangers
as well.
Barbara writes from her personal and
professional experience, generously sharing her great wisdom distilled from a
lifetime of experience.
This is a great book for anyone interested in marijuana use, not abuse.

I work for a company that is drug free and live in a state where this is not a legal treatment. After reading this book it sure has opened my eyes as to the endless possibilities and effects that legalizing could have on so many that suffer endless years of pain, seizures, etc.
As with all drugs in a controlled and monitored environment this can offer relief without the side effects that we see today from the heavy narcotics being used but so many patients.
If only for the knowledge, I strongly recommend this book!
