Cannabis. Weed. Bud. Whatever you choose to call it, its been a health aid, comfort, and life-enhancer for humankind for more than three thousand years. But while cannabis is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world, more than a century of prohibition has resulted in confusion about its status: Is it healthy? Is it medicinal? Will it make you crazy? In this fun, illuminating book, cannabis journalist Amanda Siebert delves deep into the latest research to separate marijuana fact from fiction, revealing ten evidence-based ways this potent little plant can improve your life. She speaks with some of the worlds top researchers, medical professionals, and consultants to answer questions such as: Can cannabis help you get a full nights sleep? Does it aid in exercise and weight loss? Can it really cure cancer? She also offers practical advice for maximizing its benefits-including easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for how to enjoy everything from joints to edibles, CBD oil to oral sprays-as well as examples of real people who have used cannabis to enhance their lives. This powerful plant, it turns out, could be life-changing: it can enrich any diet, slow down aging, and even spice things up in the bedroom.-- Read more...

T HIS HIGHLY INFORMATIVE book provides readers, first-timers as well as experienced consumers, with an excellent practical introduction to the multifaceted life-changing benefits of cannabis.

Retail sales of cannabis began in Canada on October 17, 2018, making it the second nation in the world, after Uruguay, to legalize the herb for recreational use. Since 2001, medical marijuana has been legal in Canada, as it is in the majority of U.S. states, at time of writing, with an ever-increasing number also approving the use of recreational cannabis. This rapidly accelerating trend is reversing nearly a century of prohibition of a powerful medicinal herb used throughout the world both medically and spiritually for more than five thousand years.

However, as a result of its illegality, its criminalization, and the lack of knowledge about the circumstances that led to its prohibition, as well as disapproval among the medical establishment, the majority of the worlds current population understandably remains skeptical. In addition, there has been a relative lack of reliable evidence-based information to dispel the myths and misconceptions surrounding cannabis. The Little Book of Cannabis helps significantly to fill that void.

As a holistic physician and cannabis clinician, I have used medical marijuana with more than eight thousand patients to relieve their suffering. From both my professional and personal experience with cannabis, spanning more than five decades, I strongly support the material presented by Amanda Siebert. Whether the chapter is discussing the use of cannabis for insomnia, anxiety, pain, inflammation, cancer, creativity and sexual pleasure, or end-of-life care, the author offers valuable and accurate information. I enjoyed her real-life compelling case studies, which correlated well with many of my patient stories.

By far the most frequent use of cannabis as a medicine, and its greatest therapeutic benefit, is the relief of chronic pain. This is certainly true of my practice, as more than 90 percent of my patients suffer with some degree of persistent pain. I found cannabis. Siebert did a superb job of researching this topic, drawing heavily on recent studies, historical references, and the work of Dr. Mark Ware, an associate professor in family medicine and anesthesia at McGill University in Montreal and the director of clinical research at the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit at the McGill University Health Centre.

As a physician, I found the scientific references to be of particular interest, and they added to my knowledge base. The book is very well written, well researched, concise, yet comprehensive in its scope of cannabis-related quality-of-life benefits. Cannabis is a complex herb containing more than two hundred compounds. Siebert is able to simplify its complexity and provide explanations at a level that can be easily understood by most readers. As a result, The Little Book of Cannabis is an excellent guide for anyone interested in using this remarkable herb to heighten their enjoyment of life.

INTRODUCTION

W HILE MY AGE of introduction to cannabis might send a shudder down the spine - photo 10

W HILE MY AGE of introduction to cannabis might send a shudder down the spine of any lawmaker considering the pros and cons of cannabis legalization, the stigma associated with youth use is one of the reasons I feel the need to share my experience. At age fourteen, while taking a break from staffing the merch table at a local punk show in my hometown of Richmond, B.C., I tried cannabis for the first time. I had been curious about the strange weed that my parents had cautioned me to avoid, but when my older friends said it helped them feel relaxed, I figured my parents were wrong and, like so many teenagers do, I decided I had to find out for myself if cannabis would indeed fry my brain cells. Seated atop a picnic table with two girlfriends, I indulged in a hoot and a half from a pipe, which resulted in a momentary fit of laughter but nothing more. After that first encounter, I used cannabis occasionally in social settings with friends, but it wasnt until college that I began to discover how using it brought me direct and indirect benefits in other areas of my life.
