The Cannabis Manifesto : A New Paradigm for Wellness

Description The Cannabis Manifesto is both a call to action and a radical vision of humans relationship with this healing but controversial plant. Steve DeAngelo, the founder of Harborside Health Center, the worlds largest medical-cannabis dispensary, presents a compelling case for cannabis as a wellness catalyst that must be legalized. His view that there is no such thing as recreational cannabis use challenges readers to rethink everything they thought they knew about marijuana. The Cannabis Manifesto answers essential questions about the plant, using extensive research to fuel a thoughtful discussion about cannabis science and law, as well as its biological, mental, and spiritual effects on human beings. With a cultural critics eye peering through the lens of social justice, DeAngelo explains how cannabis prohibition has warped our most precious institutions--from the family, to the workplace, to the doctors office and the courtroom. In calling for a realistic national policy on a substance that has been used by half of all Americans, this essential primer will forever change the way the world thinks about cannabis, its benefits, and the laws governing its use.
