Moskowitz M.D. (Foreword) See all formats and editions Kindle $13.62 Read with Our Free App Audiobook $0.00 Free with your Audible trial Paperback $21.95 52 Used from $2.77 25 New from $12.85 The essential book on CBD as medicine This practical, accessible guide to using CBD-dominant cannabis contains a wealth of information for both first-time explorers and experienced patients who want to know more about safely treating a number of health conditions with remarkable results and low to no psychoactivity or negative side effects. CBD (cannabidiol) is a component of cannabis that can provide relief for conditions such as seizures, pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, arthritis, and a number of other issues. This book offers guidance on various forms of the medicine such as oil infusions, alcohol-based tinctures, capsules, and CO2 concentrated extracts. The information is organized by health condition and also by recommended CBD-rich strains, which do not produce the "highs" associated with THC. With dosage suggestions, potential side effects and contraindications, and the pharmacology of the plant, this is an essential guide for both doctors and patients looking for a nontoxic alternative to opiate-based pain medications and other pharmaceuticals. While cannabis has been used for medicinal and recreational purposes for thousands of years, only in the last fifty years have scientists begun to shed light on the chemistry of the plant and its interactions with the human body. Research has led to the discovery of a whole new system in the body, the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in mediating functions such as appetite, immunity, mood, pain response, and memory. The authors present case studies, interviews with doctors who prescribe cannabidiol products, and the latest research regarding other active phytocannabinoids and terpenoids present in cannabis that are being studied for medical use. They also address the difference between CBD products derived from industrial hemp or in a lab, versus those made from medical marijuana using the whole plant. In addition to offering the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on CBD-dominant cannabis therapy for humans, this book is the first to offer guidance for using the medicine for animals, with suggestions for dosage and delivery and useful forms and strains for common health issues in pets. Finally, the authors take a look at the future of cannabis medicine, charting trends in the legalization movement and suggesting how CBD might be used to fight the opioid epidemic. 1.

3. “Medical cannabis is revolutionizing the practice of medicine in America. On the forefront of that revolution is CBD: A Patient’s Guide to Medicinal Cannabis, a must-read for health care practitioners and patients alike.” —Joel Samuels, MD “In my practice of pain medicine, I have witnessed the positive impact that cannabis can have on chronic pain. It is increasingly evident that it provides a safer alternative to opioids. The breadth and scope of this book is impressive. The historical perspective is most interesting and the technical information deeply informative.” —Robert Hines, MD, Diplomate, American Board of Pain Medicine; Diplomate, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; co-founder, Bay Area Pain Medical Associates “CBD: A Patient’s Guide to Medicinal Cannabis is the most comprehensive publication on the science and therapeutic use of cannabinoids yet produced. It extensively covers the science of cannabinoid chemistry and the endocannabinoid system, and is supported by more than four hundred peer-reviewed research articles. I recommend it for any provider actively prescribing medicinal cannabis formulas.” —Jeffry L. Anderson, MD “A magnificent approach to the use of medical cannabis in both humans and pets, not only for caregivers, patients, and their families, but also for skeptical physicians. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in discovering the real power of this millennial medicinal plant.” —Dr. Gisela Kuester, neurologist and epileptologist, clinical research director at Daya Foundation, Chile “A clearly written and informative book on a complicated subject. Medical marijuana is not a panacea, and is not a substitute for the extraordinary skills of modern scientific medicine, but as this fine book shows, cannabis in its many forms is now an important part of the Western medical tradition.” —Dale Pendell, author of Pharmako/Poeia: Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herbcraft “CBD: A Patient’s Guideto Medicinal Cannabis is a well-written guidebook to one of the most exciting compounds in cannabis medicine today. This book is comprehensive enough to be a useful reference to the layperson and expert alike, on matters relating to CBD as well as cannabis in general. Excellent job!” —Owen Shibata, MD “CBD is a hot topic right now, but there’s a tremendous amount of misinformation about how it works. This book clears up the confusion, and gives you expert guidance that could make a profound difference in your life.” —Max Simon, founder of Green Flower Media “I love this book. It is both beautiful and practical, grounded in all the right qualities needed to make working with CBD easy and effective.” —Uwe Blesching PhD, author of Cannabis Health Index “This book will put patients and doctors on common ground when it comes to CBD. After reading it, patients will be ready to have an informed discussion with their doctor about how to use medical cannabis.” —Scott Giannotti, founder of Cannabis and Hemp Association “This comprehensive book combines scientific evidence with practical advice for specific health challenges and preventive measures. I highly recommend this guidebook for people who are considering CBD treatments, and for health care practitioners who want to learn more about CBD for their patients.” —Sondra Barrett, PhD, author of Secrets of Your Cells: Discovering Your Body’s Inner Intelligence and Ultimate Immunity: Supercharge Your Body's Natural Healing Powers “A testament to the source of Leonard Leinow’s passionate stewardship of CBD-rich cannabis products, CBD: A Patient’s Guide to Medicinal Cannabis reveals the scope and profundity of this game-changing component of medical marijuana.” —Laurie Vollen, MD, MPH, founder of Naturally Healing MD 3/11

5. 1. Leonard Leinow Leonard Leinow has three decades of experience cultivating and studying medicinal cannabis. He founded Synergy Wellness in 2008, a not-for-profit medical cannabis collective in Northern California with more than four thousand patient members. Synergy is dedicated to handcrafting artisanal, organic, and all-natural products made from the whole plant. Synergy Wellness specializes in products rich in CBD, the non-psychoactive molecule with healing properties. He calls cannabidiol the “get-well molecule,” in contrast to THC, the “get-high molecule.” Leonard is known as an early pioneer in CBD-rich cannabis products, and his proprietary blends are recommended by doctors throughout California for their patients with cancer, pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and many other disease states. For his seemingly magical ability to recommend the right product for each individual patient, he has been called “The Wizard of Woodacre.” Leonard brings a unique spiritual perspective to his work. He lived in India for 5 years while on a spiritual quest, studying the religious and cultural aspects of ancient civilizations. He has traveled to thirty-five countries around the world in search of knowledge and wisdom. His studies include more than three decades of practice in shamanic, tantric, and martial arts. For five years, he was a professional deep-tissue body worker, which began his focus on the healing arts. Leonard earned his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in Engineering, with a minor in Art. He applied his engineering background to his early career as an executive search consultant, recruiting healthcare and technical experts for corporations nationwide. Throughout his life, he has also been dedicated to artistic expression. His bronze sculpture, ceramics, and paintings have been exhibited and sold in fine art galleries around the world. 5/11

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017 Verified Purchase I wish I could return this product, but can't figure out how! There are very important charts in the print version that are not available in this version. I highly recommend the book for its content, but purchase the actual book, not the digital version. 124 people found this helpful Helpful Michael Kotski Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018 Verified Purchase CBD – A Patient’s Guide to Medicinal Cannabis is very highly recommended. This authoritative resource is a must-read for anyone wishing to learn about what all the hype is regarding medicinal cannabis and particularly about CBD (its non psycho-active component) that can significantly help with many health issues which traditional western medicine is not able to: western medicine is all about profit and health “management” (using a whole slew of artificial chemical drugs), it is not about actual healing, big pharma purposefully keeps us sick in order to sell us all those drugs and to keep us on them. This new and well researched 317 page book is clearly written and easy to follow. Many advanced medical studies from around the world have confirmed multiple times the many healing properties of CBD - so much so, that here in the States, big pharma is rushing to cash in and create an artificial chemical “equivalent” to natural CBD. This big pharma CBD however is unlikely to work well because the natural synergy workings of all the combined phytocannabinoids (100+ identified so far) that are likely needed to work and really heal would be completely lost in the artificial CBD-only pill they plan to produce. By the way, cannabis has been used medicinally for over 5000 years. Thank you and kudos for this timely text.

9. I have to agree with what other reviewers have said: this is a fantastic resource. I've seen some of the other CBD books on Amazon with no information whatsoever about the credentials of the authors, but this book is written by experts. It's full of clear and concise directions on how to use CBD, which I greatly appreciate.

I discovered this easy to read book about the topic at a poignant time in my life. It has led me into the ever-growing development and discovery of Cannabis and all the components of the subject. I had no idea the science around cannabis and its many and ever-progressing scientific knowledge had progressed to this level until I dug into this book. I am very grateful to the kind hearts that devoted their lives to helping others through this miracle plant and all its beneficial medicinal qualities. Terpenes were revelatory. I am learning so many different properties and potential of cannabis in the treatment of p.t.s.d. and on and on. If you are looking to deepen the 'knowledge pockets' of your mind, then dig in and grab this book. Not too heady and riddled with jargon that it's inaccessible.

10. Syd Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2022 Verified Purchase When my mother was diagnosed with kidney disease, I started looking for alternatives to the ibuprophen she was taking everyday for her arthritis (very bad for those with kidney disease). The online info I found was often contradictory and so I needed a credible one-stop source. I found this through review filters (highest volume and most consistent positive reviews). Check out the table of contents and you'll see why this is the only resource you'll need before walking into a dispensary and knowing what questions to ask. It's everything I needed.

THC is not legal for sale in the UK as far as I understand it. It suggests that you need to work with your own health care provider who is a specialist in CBD medication. I am unaware of any here. It is not a user friendly book for most people as the information is vague in many areas, anecdotal or complex in equal measure. I returned it.
