This book has three related tracks: 1) For the patient who is interested in using medicinal marijuana to increase their appetite, decrease worry and stress, decrease withdrawal from opiates and other drugs, sleep better and more. 2) For the prescribing clinician and patient there is a thorough review of the clinical and prescribing information throughout this book's body and rich Appendix, and 3) For the adult user who wants to explore higher levels of consciousness, and those who want 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/or the God of their understanding. Endorsements:Brilliant!! This is a great book on an important topic. It is an easy read and provides a framework for thinking about Cannabis used as medicine. I highly recommend it ( pun not intended).J. Tishler, MD Barbara Harris Whitfield 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. Lawrence Edwards PhD Author of The Soul's JourneyI 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. Bruce Greyson MD Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia School of Medicine 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.

In 1992 scientists discovered the Endo Cannabinoid System which forever changed our understanding of our relationship to the Cannabis plant. We actually have a system in our body that takes in cannabis and uses it to balance our physical body (homeostasis.) It also helps us to calm down if we are anxious, eat if we are nauseated, laugh if we need to and generally help us to feel better. (Authors note) As of Nov. 2017, the second edition will replace the first edition with some editing and added information. Second edition uses my full name Barbara Harris Whitfield
