Endorsements Barbara Harris Whitfield provides an excellent resource that cuts through old myths and misinformation to give the reader her well-informed considerations for exploring the new world of medicinal marijuana use. With the increasing number of states and countries legalizing marijuana for medicinal use comes the urgent need for reliable information and guidance on the positive uses of marijuana and the dangers as well. Barbara writes from her personal and professional experience, generously sharing her great wisdom distilled from a lifetime of experience. This is a great book for anyone interested in marijuana use, not abuse. Lawrence Edwards PhD Author of The Soul's Journey I like the fact that in this book you're recommending marijuana not as just an anti-anxiety medication, but as a vehicle to help explore the underlying issues. Bruce Greyson MD Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia School of Medicine As a British psychiatrist, I enjoyed reading this new book. I believe it will become an important bible for clinicians who may prescribe Medicinal Marijuana. I was impressed by how well you balanced the scientific issues alongside personal reflections and the latest evidence-based clinical approaches to illnesses that can benefit from Medicinal Marijuana.
