“The ABCs of CBD: The Essential Guide: Why Pot Is NOT What We Were Taught” by Shira Adler
The social stigma surrounding CBD/hemp/cannabis has been gradually decreasing as more and more people are beginning to accept the fact that marijuana does indeed possess medicinal qualities and that the negative stories surrounding this plant are mostly myths designed by those financial interests threatened by cannabis.
Ok, so people are more comfortable with cannabis but where do they begin to learn about it while also unlearning many of the ideologically based lies about it?
“The ABCs of CBD” by author Shira Adler is one of the reliable resources available today for the curious to begin to learn about the benefits that marijuana has to offer.
Let’s take a cruise through “The ABCs of CBD” and break down just what it brings to the table for the cause.
-Topic Focus-
Misinformation has been such a powerful factor in keeping cannabis outside the realm of the law for so long and it comes as no surprise to learn that as legitimate information is further spread that the negative public opinion of marijuana begins to recede.
