Reviews'In Timmen Cermak's Marijuana on My Mind, the descriptor 'the science and mystique of cannabis' is aptly added to the title. To attempt to explain both the science of cannabinoids and touch upon the magic this important plant would dissuade most from trying but Dr. Cermak skillfully overcomes these challenges. This book is both enjoyable to read and yet filled with information and interesting anecdotes that the lay public and the mental health clinician urgently need to understand. The first six chapters brilliantly lay the necessary scientific foundation to understand the cannabinoid systems that is largely unknown to most. The next three chapters then tackle the important but frequently misunderstood topic of medical cannabis. Readers will especially appreciate Dr. Cermak organizing the scientific evidence into strong and preliminary categories and spending time to visit the important topic of CBD. The final chapter introduces timely topics of interest and controversy rarely discussed so clearly for anyone interested in the science and public health implications of the uses of cannabis.'

Steven James, Pharmaceutical Physician Executiveinterested in the science and public health implications of the uses of cannabis.' Steven James, Pharmaceutical Physician Executive, 'This is a fascinating account, or rather series of accounts, of cannabis - both medical and recreational - written from the perspective of a doctor with extensive clinical experience. The various effects of cannabis, both good and bad are covered in a uniquely personal narrative that is both enjoyable and educational at the same time.' David Nutt FMedSci, author of Cannabis (Seeing Through the Smoke): The New Science of Cannabis and Your Health. Psychiatrist and Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London.
