CBD: An Essential Medicine is a photographic documentary and policy history tracing the people, patients, advocates, and scientific developments that helped transform cannabidiol (CBD) from an overlooked component of cannabis into an internationally recognized medicine.
Centered around the veteran-led movement and the author's participation at the 69th Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna, the project documents the intersection of science, patient experience, cannabis history, and international policymaking. Featuring pioneers, patients, cultivators, physicians, advocates, and policymakers, the book preserves a critical chapter in the global conversation surrounding evidence-based cannabis policy and access to medicine.
