About this item
As the movement for legalization of marijuana spreads across the country, it is important to weigh the possible benefits and pitfalls of cannabis use. Cannabis Consulting is both a handbook and a report from the front lines of medical marijuana use. Writing from the perspective of a parent and veteran schoolteacher turned professional cannabis consultant, Ezra Parzybok tells the often-inspiring stories of his practice, where he assists victims of chronic pain, terminal disease, and even conditions such as ADHD. This timely volume was written for patients and families, law enforcement and health professionals, who are trying to make decisions about cannabis during this critical era of transition. It is an honest, clear-eyed exploration of the marijuana debate that looks beyond the hype and disinformation on both sides to chart a new path toward rational and safe use of cannabis.
About the Author
Ezra Parzybok grew up in Spokane, Washington and attended the Rhode Island School of Design. He received his MFA from Bard College and taught art and science for over a decade at an internationally recognized prep school for high school drop outs in Holyoke, MA. Witnessing the disparity in knowledge between those like his students who use cannabis, the law that regulates it, and the chronically ill who benefit from its use, he sought to fill the education gap on cannabis in his community. A 2015 D.E.A. helicopter raid on his home prompted a heated public discourse on cannabis safety and subsequent court case. He continues to offer guidance on medical cannabis to families and health practitioners and runs the educational website www.EzraHelps.com. He lives with his wife and two children in Northampton, MA.
