READ WHAT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST SAYS ABOUT THE BOOK:
“I found Dr. Sims’ book “Medical Marijuana Workbook” to be a clearly written, very informative tool that not only describes each of the cannabis-based products, it also provides guidelines to help consumers make informed decisions on what is appropriate for their respective needs. I will use this book as a reference and will recommend it to my colleagues.”
