Summary:
"An evidence-based guide to using
cannabis
to enhance
pain
relief safely, effectively, and economically while reducing the risks of
opioid
addiction
.
Opioid
addiction
has exploded to epidemic proportions in the U.S. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death. In 2012, 259 million prescriptions were written for opioids--more than enough to give every American adult their own bottle of pills. Uwe Blesching, author of the best-selling
Cannabis
Health Index, clearly and thoroughly lays out the overwhelming benefits of using cannabis--not only to reduce the nation's dependence on opioids--but also to manage the craving and withdrawal symptoms of
opioid
addiction
, and especially to address the
pain
that leads to drug use and
addiction
in the first place. Citing statistics showing that states allowing legal access to
cannabis
have seen a 25% drop in opioid-related deaths, Blesching explains how precision applications of
cannabis
can alleviate the mental and emotional aspects of
pain
by modulating numerous neurotransmitters and their emotional counterparts. He presents a convincing case for the powerful benefits of
cannabis
in reducing the risks of
addiction
and overdose, for cutting monetary costs, and for restoring a sense of balance and control to those who struggle with
pain
