Best information on Medical Cannabis

This is one of the best books I've come across for medical cannabis information. I highly recommend this book.

Informative

Well organized, greatly written, Learn a lot about Cannabis. Author does a fantastic job here.

Great Resource

This book is a great resource for those looking to use cannabis for medical reasons or those who are interested in the information. The book includes many actual studies conducted with cannabis and the outcomes. Overall well written and very informative.

Not bad

A little short but informative. I like that some strains were discussed and their origins.

very detailed and informative.

Not an easy listen because it is so technical, but well worth it! The hard copy would be a great reference source. The audible would not work well in this capacity. A medical or scientific background is helpful in comprehending this extensive work.

Most informative

All you need to know about cannabis. Easy to understand and relatable. If you are into the very technical aspects of cannabis there is plenty of info for you too. I particularly enjoyed the historical background of the development of various strains. I will be purchasing a hard copy to have as a reference book.
