About this book
A woman’s handbook to demystifying the world of weed, whether it’s being used for pain relief, a moment of calm, or a fit of giggles.
My thoughts
You can learn the basics of cannabis from this book. It is suitable for situations where you want to persuade someone to use cannabis for medicinal purposes. The writing is easy to understand, even for those who have no prior knowledge of cannabis.

My highlights
Strains that smell earthy, like hops and floral, are relaxing. Strains that smell citrusy tend to be more energizing.
Try eating mango when using cannabis. Mango is loaded with myrcene, which lowers the blood-brain barrier resistance and allows cannabinoids and terpenes to quickly and easily cross the barrier, which speeds up the time it takes to get high and increases the high.
Cannabis medicine is not exact or precise. There is not one strain that works for everyone with the same condition or disease.
Q: How do I find my ideal dosage? A: Studies have shown that inhaling a cannabis blend of 10 milligrams of THC and 10 milligrams of CBD is the most medicinally beneficial daily dose of cannabis we can take, so if you’re not sure where to start, start there.
studies have shown that chronic marijuana smoking (a joint a day for over twenty years) does not cause lung damage or impart a higher risk of cancer.
The amount of THC in a cannabis flower isn’t nearly as important as the balance of all the cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis, but most other users don’t know this yet.
