Critic reviews

"Informative and evenhanded, this will benefit readers aspiring to get more intentional with their weed intake." - Publishers Weekly

dr Kirk’s knowledge and the ability to express it were a most people could understand.

Dr. Kirt‘s performance was excellent she should consider doing audiobooks. In addition her knowledge was great. I’ve been a marijuana user for 60 years and I learned stuff from her. It was a great read a great lesson and I would highly recommend it.

The way that the book was presented, was in a very concise easy to follow format.

Nothing it was awesome. I also enjoyed following along in the printed copy, which was a plus all the way around.

Easy to listen to!

I recommend this book for everyone. I read the book as I have her read to me. I absorb way better that way.
