                     Berkeley Patients Groups - 
Review of a Book Review
Berkeley Patients Group 
Cannabis & Dispensary
• "Cannabis Delivery in Berkeley, California" is the latest in a series of articles 
by Oakland resident Michael Collins about his lifelong battle with cannabis 
addiction. "Cannabis Delivery in Berkeley, California" tells the story of a 
young man who became addicted to cocaine and cannabis at an early age, 
only to suffer severely as a result. Eventually, he went into rehab, but relapsed 
and now must fight off an ever-mounting list of physical, psychological, and 
social problems caused by his drug addiction.
• "Cannabis Delivery in Berkeley, California" chronicles the various attempts 
made by several people to quit cannabis, each one doomed by failure. Michael 
Collins finally got his life on the right track, but his story is not the complete 
tale. Heather has become a leading marijuana opponent, fighting not only the 
cannabis plant but also the entire adult marijuana industry, which continue to 
thrive in defiance of federal law. She has galvanized local cannabis grassroots 
efforts and gathered hundreds of people to join her locally and nationally in 
events such as the march on Washington, her latest book, and her book tour.
• As described in "Cannabis Delivery in Berkeley, California", Michael Collins 
began using cocaine and cannabis when he was just 18 years old and continued to use 
them well into adulthood. As his personal problems mounted, he began to develop 
physical disabilities and dropped out of school. When he moved to Berkeley, California, 
he was quickly surrounded by other weed smokers and had no friends nearby. 
Eventually, his wife left him and they moved in together to raise a child. His personal 
life was consumed by his struggle with drugs and his work never got any better.
• The author provides a moving portrait of someone facing the crisis of addiction, while 
providing an insider's look at the complicated and often mysterious world of marijuana 
and addiction treatment. He exposes the often misleading stereotypes that cloud the 
issue and offers sound advice for family members who are dealing with a loved one 
struggling with cannabis addiction. Michael Collins is not a victim, but rather a victim 
of poor information and marijuana culture that have stigmatized and discriminated 
against him. The book makes a strong case for treating patients with a comprehensive 
addiction treatment program based on scientific evidence about the harmful nature of 
cannabis. In fact, his book is much more about the harms caused by cannabis than it is 
about the medical benefits.
• If you have a loved one struggling with cannabis addiction, this is a must 
read. You will hear some personal stories from the author and others that are 
equally important, but the focus will be on the evidence about how cannabis 
addiction affects our brains. The authors make a very compelling case that 
the harms caused by cannabis are more than just about physical dependency. 
Addiction to cannabis goes beyond mere physical dependence.
• This book is highly recommended to anyone considering starting a private 
treatment program for a loved one suffering from addiction. It's also highly 
recommended to anyone who is considering a complete change in their 
lifestyle. People in recovery have been known to go on to lead productive 
lives, even if they were once addicted to something else. The support of other 
people in a Berkeley Patients Group is one of the most important parts of 
recovery. The belief that everyone has something good to contribute makes a 
Berkeley Patients Group more successful than many others.
• Michael Collins has managed to weave an excellent story into his book, 
using his own personal experience. A self-help book, "Cannabis: A 
Natural History", describes the history and research behind cannabis, 
its effects on human behavior, and why we need a comprehensive 
addiction treatment program for cannabis users. The book review on 
this site caught me by its description of the book, "A Natural History of 
the cannabiscade: A Secular Pilgrimage." This description not only 
caught my attention, but also made me want to read the entire book!
• This is a book review that I would definitely recommend to anyone who 
may be considering an addiction to 
Berkeley Marijuana Treatment Programs. It is written in an 
engaging style that makes you want to read it all the way through. The 
principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy can benefit everyone, no 
matter what substance they are addicted to.
