Condition: Very good plus. First edition. First edition of the first book published on the efficacy of marijuana use in cancer treatment. While a 1975 article (Sallen, Zinberg, and Frei) for the New England Journal of Medicine was the first published account of the benefits of cannabinoids in the alleviation of side-effects from chemotherapy, and its medical potential had been discussed in several books throughout the 1970s (and a handful earlier), this is the first dedicated to topic, and the first to offer practical advice to patients. Roffman covers timing and dosage, recipes for edibles, legal issues, a glossary of drug terminology, and the like.

Faint price sticker shadow to cover.…
