Medical Marajuana guide.......2007-10-09
Medical is a misnomer, no medical info at all. If people use this stuff for medical reasons it is still a mystery to the rest of us. I should have gotten a book on pain management alternitives that would have helped me instead of landing me on a probable government list for buying a book about illegal activities.
Jorges cervantes book.......2007-09-22

Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible By Jorge Cervantes.......2007-09-13
This is a very informative reference book. It covers many aspects of growing. The information as well as the photographs make this a must have for anyone who wants to grow medicine.
Still Awesome Companion for Video.......2007-08-23
Even though Jeorge Servantez has 2 awesome grow videos out now, this book has everything you need to know, albeit short on hydroponics, however I guess his second movie takes care of this. At any rate, this is a great reference companion for any grower written by one of the top photographers and growers in Europe who also writes for High Times.
Everything ya need to grow some marijuana.......2007-08-23
Ive always been hesitant to buy any 'Grow it Yourself' books. There are so many out there and so many opinions. But for years ive heard references to the 'bible' of growing. Finally broke down and coughed up the dough, and was it sure worth it! Anyone that can follow directions can grow great top of the line quality marijuana!
Buy this book and grow quality not garbage!

Well done........2004-12-17
There are so few books (unfortunately due to severely limited research) that provide a pharmacological view. This book is interesting in that it points out the most common receptor sites aswell as the agonists(stimulate the receptor) and antagonists(block the receptor). Much more research needs to be done but until then this book shines for the information it provides during these dark ages of thought. Good information, wish there was more...

It also remains a significant part of the healing and visionary traditions of Latin American curanderos and Brazilian, Nepalese, and Indian folk medicine. Modern research has confirmed the effectiveness of marijuana's application in treating such diseases as asthma and glaucoma. Christian Ratsch profiles the medicinal, historical, and cultural uses of cannabis in each of these societies and medical systems, providing remedies and recipes for those interested in how cannabis can be used to treat specific conditions.Â

Handbook of Cannabis Therapeutics: From Bench to Bedside (Haworth Series in Integrative Healing) (Haworth Series in Integrative Healing)
ASIN: 0786403616 |
Book Description
Because marijuana is a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, the therapeutic benefits of cannabis are no longer mentioned in the formal education of health care professionals. Doctors who do learn of the drug's therapeutic value are often intimidated by its illegal status. Thus millions of patients afflicted with such illnesses as glaucoma, AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, seizure disorders and chronic pain are denied access to information about the drug's benefits and, in many cases, suffer needlessly.
Straightforward and nonpoliticized information on the therapeutic uses of cannabis is provided here by medical, legal and scientific professionals. Legal issues, a world-wide history of therapeutic cannabis and a discussion of its pharmacology are covered. Specific medical uses are then examined, including its application for sufferers of cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, and seizure disorders, and its potential use in psychiatry. Dosages and administration of cannabis are explored, along with considerations on the use of the drug during pregnancy and the risks of addiction and dependency.

The source for patient & caregiver about medical marijuana........1998-07-22
"Health professionals, health policy analysts, social scientists, and purveyors of public health will find this text an excellent source of information." Journal of Addictions Nursing, vol 10, no.1, 1998. "For anyone seeking the truth about marijuana as a medicine, this book is a must-read", High Times, March, 1998. "This book is heartily recommended to those who are in search of an intelligible book on this topic...",Journal of the International Hemp Assoc. December 1997.
Book Description
Hemp, Cannabis sativa, is one of the world's oldest sources of food and medicine, with a history that dates back ten thousand years. It relieves glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, insomnia, asthma, the nausea associated with AIDS and chemotherapy, and a host of other conditions. It was once a staple in every American medicine cabinet, but because hemp is the plant from which marijuana is derived, it has been unavailable to consumers until recently. Now products made from imported hempseed are sold by stores and mail-order companies across the United States to satisfy a growing demand. Hemp for Health reveals the developments that have returned this ancient plant to the forefront of health and nutrition and that have doctors calling for its legalization.
The author provides everything from recipes using hempseed, and an analysis of cannabis's therapeutic effect on the nervous system, to current information on bills that are currently moving through several state legislatures to legalize domestic hemp production .Â
Book Description
The Healing Magic of Cannabis describes how to use cannabis, including preparation and hazards of smoking, along with recipes. Also covered are methods for making tinctures and topical applications, including the advantages and disadvantages of each. How it alleviates pain, soothes discomfort, and can interferes with the biological progression of certain diseases.

Healin' of the Nation.......2003-12-12
I bought it with the thought that it might suit me, to get an idea of how "IT" heals.
Well, I got more than just an idea.
Lot's of them. I am healing my self tremendiously.
Of course, if "one" has a little bit more common sense, than the standard level of school (govermental, not LIFE), you allready know most of it in here anyway.
It's like Cannabis Spirituality. Yet not.

Book Description
In recent years, cannabis research has concentrated on the potential of cannabinoids as therapeutic substances, particularly in serious chronic illnesses such as multiple sclerosis. Most volumes published on cannabinoids so far concentrate on the biological activity, biochemistry and pharmacology, whereas this volume concentrates on the diseases, the physiological effects and therapeutic use of cannabinoids. The volume editor Prof. Mechoulam was the first who isolated the prime active constituent (THC, Tetrahydrocannabiol) of marijuana. He published extensively on the pharmacological activities of cannabinoids. The volume is of interest to researchers and clinicians from pharmacology, neuroscience, and medicinal research.
