The Clinician's Guide to Medical Cannabis
A comprehensive guide for physicians to learn about medical marijuana from a clinical perspective. Unlike other books on cannabis that have a theoretical discussion of the endocannabinoid system and world history of cannabis use, The Clinician's Guide to Cannabis teaches doctors what to recommend for their patients to treat specific diseases. It tackles forms of use and amounts to take. Doctors will learn to counsel their patients in particular clinical scenarios so they feel comfortable when instructing them. Written by an experienced specialist in medical marijuana, who has treated thousands of patients with medical cannabis and is a medical marijuana patient himself.

As an MS graduate in health science and a student in a graduate medical cannabis program I feel it is important to leave a review to let people know there is a significant amount of insufficient and inaccurate information in this book concerning phytocannabinoids and non-anecdotal research concerning their therapeutic properties. The writer seems unaware of most of the primary phytocannabinoids, and for the few he does know he is quite under-informed. CBD is not a placebo, and the advice concerning epilepsy patients is biased and shortsighted (check countless research studies via NCBI if you want more accurate information about cannabis.)
While there is some fairly decent advice to physicians and how they might better understand medical cannabis and facilitate conversations with patients, unfortunately the author is overly self-confident and woefully under-informed in regard to many of the therapeutic qualities and applications of nearly all cited cannabinoids with the exception of THC (and could still use some extra study time on that one as well).
