Cannabis Wellness

Food to make you feel good! In 100+ recipes, Pat Crocker demonstrates how easy, safe, and delicious it is to cook with cannabis-especially with the help of her unique, foolproof dosing chart. This cookbook makes it easy to master the art of cooking and baking with cannabis! More than 100 recipes feature a spectrum of single-serve dishes, from healthy to decadent, all of which include raw or decarboxylated cannabis (a heating process that converts THCA into psychoactive THC). Plenty of practical information covers key issues such as extracting the maximum benefit from cannabis, dosing, and infusing with cannabis, as well as tips for first-time users who wish to safely make delicious cannabis edibles. Every serving delivers 5mg THC, just the right amount to experience both the recreational and gustatory pleasures of cannabis. There are so many delicious choices for every meal-Canna-Pancakes or a Mini Quiche with Arugula & Smoked Salmon for breakfast, for example, or a Black Bean Burger or Asparagus-Stuffed Mushrooms for later in the day. You'll also find innovative riffs on popular snacks, like hummus and tostadas, along with a stellar list of desserts, including Grilled Bananas with Canna-Honey, Savory Pears, and Chocolate Truffles.

An engaging, authoritative, and accessible guide to using cannabis for wellness. Including a quick-reference chart to key cannabis strains and their health benefits, this book is one you'll want to keep close at hand.   Considered "magic" in ancient medicinal circles, cannabis has a true, documented history of healing. Not only does it contain the restorative plant nutrient cannabidiol, or CBD, which is gaining stature as an antidote for various conditions from pain and nausea to arthritis and post-traumatic stress, cannabis also carries some 100 other cannabinoid nutrients that heal, including the once-banished psychoactive but powerfully medicinal THC. Barbara Brownell Grogan and Dr. Mary Clifton, two experts on cannabis, give newcomers the crucial knowledge they need to begin their healing regimen safely. Because different strains work for different people in different ways, the cannabis plant is far from "one size fits all." Cannabis for Health discusses the various types and potencies, and what healing benefits each offers. It focuses on some high-profile strains-including power-healers-how they address 30 key conditions, and how they have served others. As this is neither a cookbook nor a dosing book, it relies on testimonials by users and physicians to guide people in their choices. Dr. Mary Clifton is a board-certified, licensed, internal medicine doctor practicing in Manhattan. She is a recognized expert in CBD and cannabis and the founder of CBDandCannabisInfo.com. A published researcher and bestselling author, and a leading voice in telemedicine, her passion is to help patients and practitioners create a fast reset for their health and lives. Barbara Brownell Grogan is the former editor-in-chief of National Geographic Books, where she launched a line of bestselling books based on the human body, nature's medicine, and healthy living. She is currently principal for Rivanna Publishing Ventures and editor-in-chief of Potomac Global Media, working with a range of publishers to develop books for adults and children that support her mission to celebrate little-known aspects of the natural world and its extraordinary people, with titles including the upcoming Living Ghosts and Mischievous Monsters: Chilling American Indian Tales and Speak Up, Speak Out: The Extraordinary Fighting Life of Shirley Chisholm. Grogan co-authored a milestone publication, National Geographic OCEAN: A Global Odyssey, with renowned oceanographer and National Geographic Explorer in Residence Sylvia Earle, scheduled to publish in November 2021. Grogan is a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has authored five books on natural and holistic healing, including Quarto's 500 Time-Tested Home Remedies and the Science Behind Them. Most recently she published Cannabis for Health: The Essential Guide to Using Cannabis for Total Wellness with Dr. Mary Clifton (Sterling June 2021).
