The Little Black Book of Marijuana

This book relies on science to dispel common myths about medical cannabis. It offers “statements backed up by proven facts” to demonstrate the medical benefits of cannabis over thousands of years of human use.
Joan Bello has a masters in holistic health and has interviewed over 500 patients in her 40 years of experience with marijuana. In this book, she unpacks the physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits of medical cannabis. “This book probably has more information about the overall benefits of weed than any other book out there,” says one reviewer.
