When her father was diagnosed with cancer, Jenny Sansouci became a citizen scientist. She diligently poured herself into the research of natural medicine, specifically cannabis and medicinal mushrooms, and the result is The Rebels Apothecary. While not a substitute for appropriate medical care, this book provides two of the important ingredients we need when a loved one is a diagnosed with cancer or a chronic, debilitating, or painful condition: tools to help mitigate their suffering, and possibly improve their immunity, resilience, and health. Help and hope. Thats what this book is all aboutand who doesnt need that?

The Rebels Apothecary is very accurate and accessible, written in a clear and folksy style. Many people will benefit from its advice.

Dr. Ethan Russo, neurologist, psychopharmacologist, and founder/chairman of CannabisResearch.org

This very important book is the first in the field to combine both cannabis and medicinal mushrooms. The Rebels Apothecary is timely and will be of great interest to a broad readership and also to researchers, mushroom producers, medical doctors, and specialists in alternative medicine. To say this book is unique would be an understatement.
