Pot Luck: Why Marijuana is Today's Medicine is an exploration of the benefits of Marijuana for the treatment of a variety of illnesses and conditions. It features the stories of real (named) American patients and doctors. It tells of their struggle and success in an often, difficult political, legal, and cultural setting. As America slow-marches inevitably toward legalization, it Is patients like these who are driving the progress. Yet, marijuana remains illegal in half of our states, denying patients with cancer, Parkinson's, PTSD, seizures, anxiety, and most important, pain relief. The authors, Richard W. Lewis and Mikhail J. Artamonov, M.D. write in a spirited, accessible, and optimistic manner, much like the patients they describe.
