Healing with Cannabis: The evolution of the endocannabinoid system and how cannabinoids help relieve PTSD, pain, MS, anxiety, and more

This is a beautiful, full-color hardcover book that has two parts.

First is a scientific but not-too-technical story of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), biological system in all Earth’s vertebrates that lets cannabis work in the body and brain. But the main role of the ECS in the body is to create and maintain homeostasis—a state of balance throughout the body and brain. That means the ECS is an essential regulatory mechanism in the machinery of everyday life, and cannabis activates it.

In part 2, about medical cannabis, interviews with some of the world’s best cannabinoid researchers tell why and how cannabis helps treat PTSD, pain, MS, anxiety, some kinds of cancer, and many others. The book also offers some humor, describes clinical trials, has a resources section, and discusses the complex science of cannabinoids and many other elements of medical cannabis.
