Marijuana has been used for thousands of years as a medicine, but pot has been illegal in the United States for most of our lives. Almost all states have now legalized its medical use, and many consumers and physicians are exploring it as an alternative to conventional treatments. There’s substantial evidence that marijuana (cannabis) is a safe and effective treatment for chronic pain, chemo side effects, sleep and mood disorders, MS, and Parkinson’s disease, among others.

New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD, and more. Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label - damaging and devastating on its own - can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need. Brain specialist and best-selling author Dr. Daniel Amen aims to change all that.

The author of the highly acclaimed Overdiagnosed describes seven widespread assumptions that encourage excessive, often ineffective, and sometimes harmful medical care. You might think the biggest problem in medical care is that it costs too much. Or that health insurance is too expensive, too uneven, too complicated - and gives you too many forms to fill out. But the central problem is that too much medical care has too little value.

Addiction is a preventable, treatable disease, not a moral failing. As with other illnesses, the approaches most likely to work are based on science - not on faith, tradition, contrition, or wishful thinking. These facts are the foundation of Clean, a myth-shattering look at drug abuse by the author of Beautiful Boy. Based on the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, Clean is a leap beyond the traditional approaches to prevention and treatment of addiction.

Schizophrenics in the United States currently fare worse than patients in the world’s poorest countries. In Mad in America, medical journalist Robert Whitaker argues that modern treatments for the severely mentally ill are just old medicine in new bottles, and that we as a society are deeply deluded about their efficacy. The widespread use of lobotomies in the 1920s and 1930s gave way in the 1950s to electroshock and a wave of new drugs.

Beginning innocently enough in his 20s, Neal Pollack discovers that pot makes everything - food, music, sex - better. Getting married, having a kid, and enjoying professional success didn't tamp down Pollack's addiction. As cannabis grew stronger and more widely available, Pollack's dependence was shadowed by the expansion and acceptance of the marijuana Big Business. Sober after joining a 12-step program, Neal outed himself publicly as a marijuana addict in a 2018 New York Times op-ed piece.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
In recent years, cannabis has taken the herbal medicine community by storm, with terpenes as the number-one conversation starter. To Freedman, dubbed the Cannabis Sommelier, terpenes have a depth of complexity, whether it's helping to set your intention, creating the mood, and now-fusing it with cocktails, cooking, and aromatherapy. Terpenes for Well-Being provides both a botanical breakdown and comprehensive drug guide to aromatherapy-related techniques for relaxation, natural stress relief, and anti-anxiety treatment.

author definitely needs to do more research
while there is some good information in here, it's clearly written from a bias toward the pharmaceutical industry and big alcohol. at one point the author claims that cannabis is more dangerous than alcohol and there is plenty of data showing the opposite. statistics show cannabis is far safer.

very informative
Great insight from Dr's research, people need to think twice before use, marijuana doesn't benefit all.

Informative Read, Citations Appreciated
🩺 Dr. Siegel did a great job with this book! I will now purchase the hardcopy and enjoy reviewing the studies referenced.
🧠 I purchased this book due to Dr. Daniel Amen’s participation in it. His clinic (the Amen Clinics) changed my life for the better by diagnosing my ADHD through their SPECT scans and providing resources, supplements, and prescriptions for therapies that have dramatically improved both my cognitive functioning and quality of life.
Back to Dr. Siegel’s book, I support the use of medical marijuana and with the HHS’s recent recommendation for marijuana to change to schedule 3, exciting opportunities for long overdue studies await.
Rebecca did a great job. As a patient who consumes THC legally (edibles is my preferred mode), this book provided insights and resources that I value and it inspired additional research questions. 📚
🧐 For those who gave Siegel a poor rating, let’s see your books, please share your expert opinions supported by peer-reviewed studies, and provide it in the easy to understand and smooth flowing voice that she did. I’ll read.

nothing new here
maybe it's because I set my expectations too high to get new and updated information on the subject I'm disappointed that I didn't. the book is full of -more research needed here- which the same thing as it was before I read the book. I think it is good for someone completely new to the subject but not for one with different questions or seeking solid answers.
