I found it to be very informative, detailed, and a very easy
read.
*Carrol Holloway-Dyer*
It runs somewhat deeper than your standard how-to book, with a
concise look at the chemical makeup of cannabis and the way it can
help the ailments that typically plague older adults.
*Ian Bastage*
seniors and their caregivers learn cannabis basics such as what is
a dose, the differences between eating and inhaling cannabis and
how it can be used to improve sleep, reduce pain, boost mood and
lower dependence on pharmaceuticals.
*Green State*
By debunking myths that surround cannabis medicine to discussing
the countless options of cannabis treatments and more, this new
book contains all the evidence and information senior citizens look
toward when considering cannabis to treat their medical
conditions.
*Jacob Cannon*
The book is essentially a large-scale (and large-font) list of
FAQs; any curious senior citizen (or newbie of any age, for that
matter) is likely to have their basic questions answered in the
book's 200 pages. Although at times vague, "Cannabis for Seniors"
never-theless delivers a comprehensive overview of cannabis and its
effects, particularly as they pertain to an older audience.
*MAX SAVAGE LEVENSON*
She recommended a protocol that requires careful self-monitoring
and thorough record keeping. “By charting it, you get a sense of
dosage and effect,” she said. “This is very different from
prescribed medicine.” She suggested using one of the many journals
and apps available for people who are tracking their progress, as
well as websites describing the benefits of different strains.
*Aby Moon*
“What many seniors are discovering,” Potter continues, “is that
cannabis, a once ill-perceived ‘street drug,’ may actually be an
incredible asset to their over-all health and wellness, as well,
especially when used in conjunction with other
physician-recommended forms of therapy.”
*Betty Rhodes*
While she presents this perspective armed with credited and sourced
information, Potter is largely persuasive because of her friendly,
approachable tone. She is easy to understand and stays away from
overly medical and scientific jargon, even when tackling subjects
like the different types of trichomes on marijuana or the biphasic
properties of cannabis.
