The Book: Cannabis and CBD for Health and Wellness: An Essential Guide for Using Nature’s Medicine to Relieve Stress, Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Inflammation, and More (Ten Speed) – June 4, 2019

With legalization of recreational cannabis in 9 states and medical marijuana in 29 states, interest is growing in cannabis-related health products, especially those made with CBD–a cannabinoid that has healing properties without the psychoactive effects of THC. Cannabis and CBD for Health and Wellness demystifies cannabis and its history, and explains in simple and straightforward language how to use it to treat myriad health and lifestyle issues.

With information on cannabis forms (tinctures, topicals, edibles, flowers, concentrates), methods of ingestion (smoking, vaping, capsules, patches, creams, and more), dosing (and microdosing), safety and storage, caregiving, and effectiveness for self-care, physical fitness, sexual arousal, aging, and more, this is the only book you need to start using cannabis–in a targeted and safe way–for better health.
