Need to Know Information for Medical provider

This is Need to Know Information for Medical providers. Our Pharmacy books do not include information on Cannabis. This is definately a reference book. Listening to it made me realize how much I didn’t know.

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.

fantastic. tons of info

I found so much information from this I actually ended up buying the book from Barnes & nobles.

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.
