The Cannabis Manifesto

A New Paradigm for Wellness

De: Steve DeAngelo, Willie L. Brown - introduction Jr.

Narrado por: Richard Banks

An authoritative, persuasive, and riveting call for the legalization and responsible use of medical marijuana, The Cannabis Manifesto is a book whose time has come
The Cannabis Manifesto is both a call to action and a radical vision of humans' relationship with this healing but controversial plant. Steve DeAngelo, the founder of Harborside Health Center, the world's largest medical-cannabis dispensary, presents a compelling case for cannabis as a wellness catalyst that must be legalized. His view that there is no such thing as recreational cannabis use challenges readers to rethink everything they thought they knew about marijuana.

The Cannabis Manifesto answers essential questions about the plant, using extensive research to fuel a thoughtful discussion about cannabis science and law, as well as its biological, mental, and spiritual effects on human beings. With a cultural critic's eye peering through the lens of social justice, DeAngelo explains how cannabis prohibition has warped our most precious institutions—from the family, to the workplace, to the doctor’s office and the courtroom. In calling for a realistic national policy on a substance that has been used by half of all Americans, this essential primer will forever change the way the world thinks about cannabis, its benefits, and the laws governing its use.

The cure for a sickly world

Couldn't put it down , inspired once again to follow my heart and be the person I'm meant to be.

The things we never knew

The things we never knew but internally we understood that what was going on with cannabis was a sham perpetuated for power and money

Great Information and a unique perspective

I really enjoyed the history that was explained in this book, it put some pieces of the puzzle together that I couldn’t on my own. I’m an aspiring cultivator and it was great to hear about the roots of the industry. Steve seems like a very genuine person and his perspectives we very unique due to his sheer level of experience.
The only part of the book that confused me was the organization of the information mixed with his own personal experiences. The book seemed to hint to further into the chapters which was off putting when he would word for word repeat himself from an earlier chapter to which he eluded and go further into detail about the subject. Other than that it was a great way to keep my mind busy while working out, I highly recommend this book if cannabis and history interests you.

Great book.

Very informative. Astonishing how misinformed we’ve been through absolutely ignorant politicians. Times are a changing, slowly but surely.

Alot of great information, but has some bias

Some of the best information that I have found in the many cannabis books I've read BUT if this book had left the one sided politics out. There is a clear progressive agenda, such as blaming the drug war on the Reagans and leaving out the fact that Joe Biden pushed Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr and Obama to ramp up or continue the drug war. In fact, Joe Biden was ramping up the drug war at the federal level while Reagan was still Governor of California in the early 70's. Jimmy Carter was also mentioned but he got nothing done, only talked about doing something and then gave up after a party gone wrong. They all failed us miserably, not just the Republicans. Without the divisiveness & politics this would have gotten 5 stars from me for sure and I would recommend it regardless, good book, good enough I will probably read a 2nd time.

the guy reading keep it interesting and alive

for someone who didn't know much about it marijuana and wanted to learn more, I now feel as though my entire outlook on the clamp there's no longer seen in a bad light. only to reinforce that yet again the government will lie and deceive the American people time and time again.

Steve is my spirit animal

This book has encouraged me to be bold in my own endeavors, to continue pushing the self-imposed limits of humanity. Steve and I will be talking soon :)
