Featured Reviews

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book gives a good amount of information about cannabis strains, consumption, and uses. The main focus is on Seniors and how cannabis can help with health issues mostly faced by seniors but there is plenty of useful information for people of all ages.
There is a good mix of basic information about cannabis as well as research and scientific studies. I especially liked the chapters on how cannabis works in people with mental health issues.
The main problem I had with this book is the formatting of the Kindle version. It was still readable but I think the book could use some editing and the information could flow better.

A good balance of technical details and accessibility.
Makes good arguments for how cannabis can offer alternatives to more extreme drugs for health matters that can impact an older person's life.
I wish the ebook I read had been better edited. Photos and their captions often overlap the regular copy.

This is quite a comprehensivve guide on the use of cannabis for seniors. As a senior myself, that recently devevoped a interest in using it for various reasons, Ive read quite a lot on the subject, but still found info in this book that I haven't read before..

This book provided a good balance between technical details and accessibility/readability. It included scientific research, it addressed the social aspects and myths about the subject..

It deals in great detail with the major conditions that cannabis can be used for, including the various methods of consuming and the pro's and cons of using cannabis. .

Not so great is a lack of stucture, as if all information wat just gathered and presented, but generally it was a good introduction to therapeutic and medicinal cannabis use.
