I know of no other medicine that treats so many illnesses!

The book is well-written by a Ph.D. and two M.D.s who have researched the subject thoroughly. The book not only discusses the ailments that everyone knows marijuana is useful for treating (glaucoma, chemo sickness, etc.); but it also covers lesser-known medical and psychological problems that marijuana helps treat, such as depression, PMS, arthritis, Crohn's disease, and even its use as a "backdoor" drug to wean addicts off deadly substances like heroin and cocaine. Topics also include the myths about the health dangers of this medicine, why this medicine is still illegal in the United States, how patients obtain this medicine, and the best way to take this medicine.This book is a must-read for anyone who suffers from an illness that pharmaceutical drugs just aren't helping and for all DEA employees.
