However, I wasn't prepared for this book. It literally is a goldmine of information and I didn't expect it to have so much education within its pages. I thought it would be a quick interesting read but I was completely wrong.
To anyone new to the subject, this is the book you want. It lists a lot of different varieties and each one comes with it's own profile and what it can be used for. The book itself is very professional looking.
There's also a list of illnesses and how cannabis can be used for them.
This book also encompasses everything you need to know and answers many questions. Sometimes it becomes quite scientific but nothing strenuous.
It is, hands down, the best book I've read on the subject and I applaud the authors who probably deserve a medal for the wealth of information contained in this book.
Another thing, this book may have a lot of information but it is set out neatly, simply and in a clear structure.
