This is a well-researched, balanced and readable book on many aspects of cannabis use and misuse. There are a multitude of opinions about cannabis and its effects...Anecdotes and stories about clients are scattered throughout the book, which adds colour to the information presented, as do the illustrations. The book is intended for anyone wishing to increase their knowledge about cannabis; particularly teachers, health workers, parents and people using cannabis.
It deserves a place on the bookshelf of all health and social care professionals, counsellors, police officers and educators...I was suprised at how much I learned from this book. It is thoroughly recommended.
