Everything readers need to know about medical marijuana is contained in this handy guide. According to Frye, in 1996, California became the first state to legalize cannabis for medical use, although, as she also notes, cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for 5,000 years. Frye also observes that it has only been illegal for 75 years, more for sociopolitical reasons than for health concerns. Her guide is perfect for patients who haven't considered using the substance as a treatment alternative for various diseases and ailments, from cancer to anxiety, and for anyone involved with or interested in health care. Cannabis, she reports, has a low potential for addiction (6-9-percent versus 13-18 percent for alcohol). Although no one has ever died from a cannabis overdose, she does detail potential adverse effects, including impaired driving and gastrointestinal problems, drug interaction issues, and possible consequences of overuse. Frye includes chapters on legalization, laboratory testing, clinical conditions, ways to medicate, and self-care. In all, a useful and timely guide.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
