In Cannabis Pharmacy, expert Michael Backes offers evidence-based information on using cannabis to treat an array of ailments and conditions.

Need to Know Information for Medical provider

This is Need to Know Information for Medical providers. Our Pharmacy books do not include information on Cannabis. This is definately a reference book. Listening to it made me realize how much I didn’t know.

very detailed and informative.

Not an easy listen because it is so technical, but well worth it! The hard copy would be a great reference source. The audible would not work well in this capacity. A medical or scientific background is helpful in comprehending this extensive work.

Most informative

All you need to know about cannabis. Easy to understand and relatable. If you are into the very technical aspects of cannabis there is plenty of info for you too. I particularly enjoyed the historical background of the development of various strains. I will be purchasing a hard copy to have as a reference book.

Great information

I’m new learning about the medical benifits. I work at a dispensary and wanted to learn more loved this audiobook because I could listen to it while at work but highly suggest getting a book so u can go back to read and highlight easier.
My hubby has a ton of health issues and the list is long. So I want to write it all down and write suggested items and what to avoid to hopefully find his sweet spot.
Great listener and tons of info
