Dr. Jeff Block’s timely textbook chapter, Endocannabinoid Receptors and Medical Cannabis (CRC Press – 2020) is a masterful subject summary of translational medicine having significant public health importance.
While I’ve known many excellent healthcare professionals through my work with the Federal Government, remarkably few physicians enjoy Dr. Block’s academic understanding of botanical medicines. His clinical expertise in physiology and pharmacology, along with decades of experience cultivating plants and knowledge of processing their bioactive chemicals is unique among doctors.

Dr, Jeff Block’s timely textbook chapter, Endocannabinoid Receptors and Medical Cannabis (CRC Press – 2020) is a masterful subject summary of translational medicine having significant public health importance.
While I’ve known many excellent healthcare professionals through my work with the Federal Government, remarkably few physicians enjoy Dr. Block’s academic understanding of botanical medicines. His clinical expertise in phycology and pharmacology, along with decades of experience cultivating plants and knowledge of processing their bioactive chemicals is unique among doctors. I expect that Dr. Block’s on-going contributions will be formative to responsibly develop medical cannabis programs in the United States.
