Braunstein shares a wealth of knowledge on how patients and adult recreational users can maximize the benefits from smoking cannabis while reducing the risks. The author shares a lot of solid, evidence-based information, and I was not to be fooled by his lighthearted and pun-infused writing style, which made for an easy and enjoyable reading experience. The author’s personal journey with medical marijuana and his extensive research lend to illustrative and real-life examples of what to do to minimize the potential negative impact that smoking may have on one’s health. He is not just blowing smoke.

Braunstein provides an insightful manual on how to smoke marijuana with extensive details about its health considerations. Clearly, his robust health as a paraplegic since 1990 is largely due to this dedication to mindful smoking of marijuana. His years of experience using marijuana to treat the spasms of spinal cord injury has provided extensive empirical evidence to produce this masterpiece of health tips.

Despite the many health benefits of cannabis in all its forms, the majority of us still prefer to smoke it, yet “healthful smoking is an oxymoron,” writes Braunstein. The solution can be found in Mindful Marijuana Smoking, the bible for cannabis smokers who also care about their health. Crammed with facts, hard truths, and endnotes as well as personal anecdotes, ingenious quick fixes, and very useful information about every aspect of cannabis use and its potential health effects, Braunstein’s witty and entertaining writing style makes for a fun while eye-opening read about a beloved yet taboo indulgence. Learn to reduce your cannabis health risks without having to give up its rewards.
