A major contribution from a leading physician on the front lines of the medical marijuana revolution. Dr. Bonni Goldstein's book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the healing potential and practical application of therapeutic cannabis.

Cannabis Is Medicine tells it like it is. For far too long the important medicinal potential of the cannabis plant has been at least overlooked, and at worst, aggressively stigmatized. The incredible potential of cannabis derivatives across a wide panorama of medical conditions is now widely embraced by highly respected science. And Dr. Bonni Goldstein has done a magnificent job of eloquently presenting this science to augment our tools as healthcare providers as well as for consumers at large. A powerful validation of the healing properties of cannabis.
