Cultivating Science & Weeding Out Lore: Medical Cannabis in Pediatric Neurology and Palliative Care: A practical primer for parents and providers.

Filled with pictures, helpful tables, and at-your-fingertips information, this book is meant to be a quick yet complete pediatric medical cannabis reference guide for families and providers. It focuses on facts rather than lore, and on supplying sound scientific information and answers to common cannabis-derived medication questions. This guide is by no means comprehensive, but it aims to provide the answers and the knowledge needed to illuminate paths to treatment that may improve the quality of life of some of the bravest, yet most vulnerable children in our homes and practices. Special considerations are given for palliative, neuropalliative and end-of-life care, as well as to finding balance amongst expectations, hope, and scientific pragmatism.
