Cannabis & HIV

Cannabis & HIV is a practical, evidence-informed guide for people living and aging with HIV who want clearer, safer information about cannabis.

This book cuts through hype, stigma, and dispensary folklore to help readers understand what current research actually says about cannabis and common concerns such as neuropathy, chronic pain, appetite loss, nausea, anxiety, sleep, stress, aging, and medication interactions.

Inside you’ll find:

• HIV-specific cannabis guidance grounded in current evidence
• Clear explanations of THC, CBD, routes of use, onset, and duration
• Medication-interaction and safety considerations for people taking HIV treatment
• Guidance on neuropathy, pain, appetite, nausea, anxiety, sleep, and aging with HIV
• 12 cannabis recipes using measured, labeled products
• Practical worksheets for tracking dose, effects, side effects, and patterns
• Connoisseur’s Corner with T. A. Daly, exploring terpenes, cultivars, product labels, cannabis culture, and consumer language without confusing lived experience with medical evidence
• A historical look at Brownie Mary and the role cannabis activism played during the AIDS crisis

The approach throughout is trauma-informed, harm-reduction oriented, and designed to support informed choice without shame or exaggerated claims.

Evidence without hype. Harm reduction without shame.
