Cannabis Facts That Caused a Psychiatrist to Write a Book

For a long time, Dr. Rebecca Siegel never thought about recommending cannabis for patients. But when her patients started telling her about the way cannabis improved their health issues, the psychiatrist started to do her own research — and the results she found were so compelling that she wrote a book about it. Dr. Rebecca’s book, The Brain on Cannabis: What You Should Know about Recreational and Medical Marijuana, is a comprehensive and myth-busting guide on marijuana use and its effects on the brain. On the pod, she talks to Jon about why she wrote the book, and some myths she wants to dispel about the drug. She also recommends some strategies for talking to your kids about cannabis in an educational way.
