The Book:
Study the latest research findings
by international experts!
This comprehensive volume presents
state-of-the-art scientific research
on the therapeutic uses of cannabis
and its derivatives. All too often,
discussions of the potential medical
uses of this substance are distorted
by political considerations that
have no place in a medical debate.
Cannabis and Cannabinoids: Pharmacology,
Toxicology, and Therapeutic Potential
features fair, equitable discussion
of this emerging and controversial
medical topic by the world’s
foremost researchers.
Cannabis and Cannabinoids examines
the benefits, drawbacks, and side
effects of medical marijuana as
a treatment for various conditions
and diseases. This book discusses
the scientific basis for marijuana’s
use in cases of pain, nausea,
anorexia, and cachexia. It also
explores its possible benefits
in glaucoma, ischemia, spastic
disorders, and migraine.
Cannabis and Cannabinoids examines
all facets of the medical use
of marijuana, including:
botany
history
biochemistry
pharmacology
clinical use
toxicology
side effects
Cannabis and Cannabinoids is a
reference work that will become
indispensable to physicians, psychologists,
researchers, biochemists, graduate
students, and interested members
of the public. No other book available
offers this comprehensive, even-handed
look at a deeply divisive subject.
