"Hats off to Dr. Rosado and for the work he's doing. I appreciated and enjoyed much of the book, especially the early portions where he describes the history and background, noting how it came to be that cannabis is considered a dangerous substance rather than a potential healing intervention. The book seems to be aimed at potential patients who may have some hesitation to pursue medical cannabis, and for that audience, I think those sections would be appealing."

"During the first 15 years of my career, I was in law enforcement where it was drilled into my head that marijuana is bad, period. However, now as a writer specializing in natural health and wellness, I've read numerous studies that say the complete opposite. This begs to question: who's right? What I love most about this book is that Dr. Rosado provides an answer that is simple and in an easy-to-read manner. Plus, it is chock full of information that I've never known, such as how the negative stigma associated with marijuana actually began. (I've researched and written about this topic several times before and never have I seen this explained so well!) As a result, I now have a clearer idea as to why this particular drug has been blackballed, as well as the numerous obstacles it has yet to overcome. Additionally, this book has really opened my eyes to the real-life benefits cannabis has to offer. That is, if we just give it a chance."
