Editorial Reviews
Review
"We congratulate them (the authors) on their accomplishment and recommend this book enthusiastically for all clinicians and researchers interested in substance related issues."
Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), Shahla Modir, MD, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, and John Tsuang, MD, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center
"Researchers in these areas will benefit by the excellent literature reviews and assembly of information. As they say in the Movie Show: 'I'll give it four stars: how about you?'
Australian Medicine, Dr. Chris Cantor
"Marijuana and Madness is an excellent book that clearly and thoroughly explores the subject from every point of the biopsychosocial spectrum."
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
"Reading Marijuana and Madness will make you humble and wary of scientific and clinicin zealots and will increase your wisdom."
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, Willim S. Appleton, Harvard Medical School
"This book provides an excellent and unparalleled overview of current evidence-based thinking about cannabis and psychotic disorders, and should be read by anyone involved in clinical practice or research with people who suffer serious metal illness and also use cannabis."
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Fraser Todd
"...I highly recommend this book to all clinicians who wish for an update on the many intriguing questions about cannabis use and mental helath raised by our colleagues, our patients, and the public. I cannot think of a better reference at this point."
The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, Nady el-Guebaly, MD
