“Buzzed, the Straight Facts about the Most Used and Abused Drugs from Alcohol to Ecstacy” Originally published in 1998 — long before we heard about the opioid crisis — this what-you-need-to-know book was meant to help readers make educated decisions about what they are putting in their bodies.There is info on how drugs enter the body, what they do to the brain, their highs, and when they can be dangerous. By no means a comprehensive guide to cannabis, “Buzzed” is more of a survey course on what can and does affect the human body. The authors are doctors Cynthia Kuhn, Scott Swartzwelder, and Wilkie Wilson.
“Cannabis Medicine: A Guide to the Practice of Cannabinoid Medicine” Authors David Bearman M.D. and Maria Pettinato Ph.D., R.N. provide an introductory level course on the endocannabinoid systems, cannabinoids, and, of course, cannabis. It also covers dosing and how to ingest. Health care workers, cannabis-educated patients, and newcomers to cannabis will want this on their bookshelf. CS
