If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting information floating around about CBD and hemp, this book is a great place to start. Written by Carol Merlo, M.Ed., this practical guide to understanding CBD and industrial hemp products is detailed yet easy to read, designed for anyone who wants to cut through the noise and find products that actually work. Published in March 2019, the book comes in at just 135 pages including references, meaning most readers can get through it in just a couple of days.

Inside, Carol walks readers through topics like why you might want to consider CBD, how the endocannabinoid system works, how CBD is produced, what the existing research says, how to buy quality products, and how much to take. The book does not stop at personal wellness, either. Carol also covers the many industrial uses of hemp, such as green housing, fuel, and plastics, as well as the legal status of hemp and CBD around the world. Readers say that the author presents accurate information in a field that is growing but also filled with misinformation.

What really sets this book apart is that Carol does not talk down to the reader or pile on the hype. She presents a healthy dose of optimism grounded in research, and points readers toward where they can look to make their own decisions. One hemp store owner mentioned having to reorder the book three times because customers kept taking it from the shop's lending library. That says a lot. Whether you are brand new to CBD or just looking to fill in some gaps in your knowledge, this is a solid, approachable read worth adding to your shelf. Head over to Amazon to check the current price and see if there is a deal waiting for you.
