The Pot Book, Edited by Julie Holland, M.D.

 

MAPS mission is to treat conditions for which conventional medicines provide limited relief, such as PTSD & anxiety associated with life-threatening illnesses, by developing psychedelics & marijuana into prescription medicines. New: The Pot Book, Edited By Julie Holland M.D. September 28, 2010 Dear Rielle, We are excited to announce the release of a special MAPS edition of The Pot Book: A Complete Guide to Cannabis, edited by Julie Holland M.D. This book is brand new and has contributions from more than 50 leading experts on the science, history, politics, medicine, and potentials of cannabis. Among the contributors are MAPS Executive Director Rick Doblin, Ph.D. Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Michael Pollan, Allen St. Pierre, Andrew Weil, M.D., Ethan Nadelmann, Ph.D., Lyle Craker, Ph.D., and Andrew Tartarsky, Ph.D. If you purchase this book from MAPS (as opposed to Amazon or other vendors) you will be contributing to MAPS' research. This 550 page book encompasses the broad spectrum of marijuana knowledge from stoner customs to scientific research. This book investigates the top ten myths of marijuana; its physiological and psychological effects; its risks; why joints are better than water pipes and other harm-reduction tips for users; how humanity and cannabis have co-evolved for millennia; the brain’s cannabis-based neurochemistry; the complex politics of cannabis law; its potential medicinal uses for cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and other illnesses; its role in creativity, business, and spirituality; and the complicated world of pot and parenting. As legalization becomes a reality, this book candidly offers necessary facts and authoritative opinions in a society full of marijuana myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes. We encourage you to purchase your copy today.        ~MAPS
