Review
A pro-marijuana book written by authors named Joy and Potter risks credibility questions, perhaps, but discerning guardians of the publics right to know will want to peruse it, at least. The book is in three sections. The first deals with the healing potential of cannabis psychoactivity and recent finding in mind/body medicine; the second shifts to a nuts-and-bolts focus on the preparation and use of the plant for medicinal purposes; and the third, specifically medical, includes discussions of specific afflictions. Marijuana is recommended as a remedy for arthritis, asthma, insomnia, and appetite loss, and as a palliative for glaucoma and other conditions. The chapter entitled The Healing Giggle effectively frames much of the discussion, for one of marijuanas primary healing attributes is as symptom reducer rather than cure, although to, say, glaucoma sufferers who cant tolerate conventional medicines (said to be as many as half of them), that distinction may be nugatory. Ultimately, this is a responsible, reasonable overview of medicinal cannabis. -- Mike Tribby-BookList 5/1/98

I bought it with the thought that it might suit me, to get an idea of how "IT" heals.
Well, I got more than just an idea.
Lot's of them. I am healing my self tremendiously.

Of course, if "one" has a little bit more common sense, than the standard level of school (govermental, not LIFE), you allready know most of it in here anyway.

It's like Cannabis Spirituality. Yet not.
