There's an increasing number of patients that use medical marijuana and, cannabis is once again becoming an accepted herbal medicine in western culture. With the increasing amount of both medical and recreational users there's also a demand for information that is easy to understand.

This book covers the basics and the stigma about cannabis, use of medical marijuana, different strains and the benefits and effects of cannabinoids on personal health. The book covers guidelines to safe cannabis use and explains the mechanism behind the medical properties of marijuana. Finally, the book sheds light on the effect of cannabinoids on our system.
