The science is settled. The stigma isn't. It's time to close the gap.

Every day, patients walk into your office asking about cannabis-and most physicians still don't have a framework for answering them. That gap is costing patients real relief. Hope & Healing: The Case for Cannabis (Second Edition) is written by a board-certified physician who has recommended medical cannabis to thousands of patients, from toddlers to the elderly, and who has spent a decade on the frontlines of clinical cannabis medicine in Florida and beyond.

Written with the rigor of a clinical reference and the clarity of a patient-facing guide, this expanded second edition takes readers from the political origins of cannabis prohibition-through the endocannabinoid system, THC/CBD pharmacology, and the entourage effect-to condition-specific chapters covering cancer, epilepsy, PTSD, ALS, MS, Parkinson's, Crohn's, HIV/AIDS, and more. Each chapter distinguishes what the evidence actually supports from what it doesn't, giving clinicians the balanced, evidence-grounded language they need to counsel patients honestly. Foreworded by Professor Lumír Ondřej Hanus, who co-discovered anandamide and helped launch modern cannabinoid science.

Whether you're a physician trying to answer patient questions without wading through ideology, a patient or caregiver navigating a new diagnosis, or a policymaker or advocate who needs a credible, medically sourced overview of the field, this book delivers. It doesn't preach legalization-it practices medicine. Dr. Rosado addresses dosing, administration routes, patient counseling, safety and adverse effects, and the legal landscape, all from the perspective of a clinician who has actually done this work. The result is a book that demystifies and destigmatizes in equal measure.

Hope & Healing: Second Edition is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. Bulk orders for medical schools, CME programs, hospital systems, and patient advocacy organizations are available through the author directly. For speaking engagements, media inquiries, or consulting: www.

Reviews for Hope & Healing: The Case for Cannabis

""Excellent timeline, historical and legal background, and a thorough explanation of use in special cases-cancer, chronic pain, Parkinson's-including benefits and reactions. A very good and well-crafted book."" -L. GUILLERMO HERNANDEZ III, MD, FACS ""A brilliant, thought-provoking read. Dr. Rosado intelligently captures and explains the true essence of how far we have come in the medical cannabis realm. I will continue to recommend Hope & Healing to all of my medical cannabis patients."" -CARLOS LEVY, DO, AOBGP ""Throughout the years, patients with different stages of glaucoma have asked me about using marijuana therapy. Dr. Rosado's chapter on glaucoma is informative and confirms what many in ophthalmology have concluded-namely, the effects of THC are temporary and fundamentally oppose CBD which studies have shown can raise eye pressure and worsen the disease. Dr. Rosado's dedication to his patients, advocacy for further regulation, sound research and public safety education is to be commended."" -ROBERT CORDERO, MD, FACS, FAAO
