Are you happy with your life and with your use of cannabis? This book offers a thorough exploration, allowing the reader to look into their life without judgment or blame. Part memoir, part 'how to', The Little Green Book will assist marijuana users, their loved ones and those working with them in considering change. Michael Stratton is a therapist who fell in love with marijuana. Gradually it began to eclipse his goals that he'd set for himself. Eventually he found it necessary to break up with marijuana. He began working with others who had faced the same dilemma, and then became trained by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) in the latest evidence based practices in helping people change. Borrowing from practices as varied as several recent scientific studies, philosophy and the Buddhist metaphor of The Hungry Ghost, the author weaves a rich tapestry for self exploration and the possibility of change. Taking the middle path, not being anti-marijuana and in fact advocating for the legalization of cannabis, The Little Green Book avoids the controversies swirling around the politics of pot. This book is for the dissatisfied or curious user who wonders if their use of marijuana may have come in the way of their satisfaction with what life can offer. It will also assist those who care about cannabis users in their life. And it is an essential tool for therapists, counselors, teachers, doctors and anyone in the helping professions who encounter marijuana users in their work.
