The ABCs of CBD: The Essential Guide: Why Pot Is NOT What We Were Taught

by Shira Adler

"The ABCs of CBD™️: The Essential Guide" by author Shira Adler, explains “Why Pot Is NOT What We Were Taught."Every day there is one more person / parent who becomes canna-curious or an inadvertent advocate based on their needs, and those of their family. From aging parents, to disenfranchised millennials, to children with disorders, addictions, and diseases that boggle the mind and break the heart. ADHD, Alzheimer’s, Anxiety, Autism, Cancer, Chronic Pain, Colitis, and much more... this is our new reality. The antidote? Science points to CBD, and daily headlines agree! Yet the average American has no idea what it is, how to use it, which brands to trust, or if it's even legal to do so! Stigma, fear, social injustice, and misinformation continue to loom large in the psyche of America. Accessible for any reader, "The ABCs of CBD" is a practical, educational, and comprehensive guide — alternatively humorous and hard hitting when it needs to be, answering all the things you’ve ever wanted to know about cannabinoids, but were afraid to ask. CBD is the “other” ingredient in hemp and pot — the one that doesn’t get you stoned — but can still help make you better. Discover how the ancient wisdom of plants combined with cutting edge scientific research could change your life. This is the moment where the medical marijuana revolution is transforming our belief system and the way we perceive this once highly stigmatized substance. That's why author, speaker, advocate, and entrepreneur, Shira Adler (called by Reuters "The Marijuana Mama" and "The Canna-Fairy-Godmother-in-Combat-Boots" by Dr. Paloma Lehfeldt, Vireo Health's Medical and Patient Liaison), is once again using her voice to provide information, education, and awareness for what is happening at this moment in cannabis culture.Why read "The ABCs of CBD"™? Shira's book is edutainment at its best, covering the full spectrum of all things CBD, cannabis, hemp, and more. "The ABCs of CBD™️" looks at everything from ancient history to pop culture, trends in industry/commerce, the endocannabinoid system, social justice, what science is proving, and why politicians posture. There is even a section for parents who want to know how to talk to their kids about CBD.Learn, partake and educate. You won’t be disappointed."A must read primer... this book is a goldmine." (Dr. Junella Chin, Integrative Cannabis Physician & Speaker)“Shira Adler has written a funny, insightful, and historical look at CBD. It is not only for parents and kids , but anyone who wants to know about CBD and what it can do for you. A great read!" (Marvin Washington, Former NFL Super Bowl Winner & MMJ Advocate)

The wealth of information and resources offered in this book in regards to Cannabis, particularly CBD, is priceless. I’m much more educated about CBD, Hemp, THC, laws, rights & regulations of Marijuana in our country than I was before. It provokes thought and questions in regards to the reasons why Cannabis was illegalized in the first place.

The statistics are nothing less than eye-opening and alarming.
The history lesson/timeline at the beginning of the book lays a foundation of understanding for just how far back our country has been using Cannabis. And, how it has been used to aid in the healing in many illnesses.

If you were ever confused about CBD, want to know more about CBD, need some references and resources in regards to CBD you need to read this book.
