Are you canna-curious? Put aside the stigma and discover the powerful potential of weed.

For centuries, the marijuana plant has been revered for its healing properties, but it's also been criminalized, abused, and misunderstood. Although cannabis is now legal in much of the United States, many people are still confused about how to access it and unsure about how to use it safely and effectively. Enter Reefer Wellness, an all-encompassing guide to cannabis from scientist and researcher, Dr. Riley Kirk.

With colorful illustrations and everyday language, Reefer Wellness challenges the stereotypes about pot use and breaks down the complexities of cannabis for anyone who's ever wondered if weed could help them relax or relieve chronic ailments. Whether you're an everyday user or just starting out on your healing journey with cannabis, you'll find answers to your questions and science-backed evidence to support your use. In it, you'll get:

  • An introduction to the endocannabinoid system (ECS), the powerful regulatory system in the human body that controls everything from hunger signals to pain
  • A clear, visual explanation of how the molecular components of cannabis interact with the ECS, making it a uniquely powerful tool for healing
  • Guidance on how to consume cannabis, including the pros and cons of different delivery systems and how to customize your dosage
  • An overview of ailments that can be addressed with cannabis, such as chronic pain, sleep disorders, and insomnia
  • Tips for minimizing the side effects of marijuana use, like munchies, bloodshot eyes, and cottonmouth

Let Reefer Wellness jumpstart your deep and meaningful journey into the wonderful and nuanced world of modern cannabis and get ready to unlock its incredible healing potential.

Elevate from pothead or Med patient to Educated Medicated Cannaseur...

I have now read it high school text book style but with desire! Highlighters. Notes. Anyhow, loved it and ordered a shelf copy, a friend a copy and am gonna see about one for my Dr! Really spirited and easy to understand! Fan of hers as a potcast listener, Dr. Kirk has helped my healing journey by leaps and bounds... Thanks Dr. Kirk and also your support team! I know no one does it alone! Thanks for the education and we look forward to more good vibes!

Really good book for those new to cannabis

Only giving 3 stars because I was hoping for a little more information. This book is filled with great information for those new to cannabis or those who haven’t dabbled in a while since there’s been a change in the scene. Information contained would be very helpful to those wanting to better understand how cannabis plays into our wellness, however if you’re a bit more seasoned you may be left wanting a bit more.Recommended reading for anyone who consumes to best understand how it plays a role.
