Book cover image of "The Science of Weed" by Godfrey Pearlson

Since the onset of many states legalizing, and even normalizing the use of cannabis, many are exploring the science behind this plant.

Godfrey Pearlson is a renowned psychiatric researcher, physician and Yale neuroscience professor who has written a book called "The Science of Weed: An Indispensable Guide to Cannabis."

In the book, he covers everything from its botany and chemistry to its impacts on psychology and human behavior.
