Cannabis and Cannabinoids

Researchers from Europe, the US, Australia, and Brazil focus on the health aspects of cannabis and cannabinoids, mentioning social and political dimensions only when required within the medicinal discussion.

They consider botany, taxonomy, chemistry, and history; pharmacology and pharmacokinetics; indications for cannabis and THC; risks and side effects; other cannabinoids; and other constituents of cannabis.

"An invaluable resource. From botany to biology, from pharmacology to policy, from physiologic actions to adverse experiences, this volume covers the territory with erudite and richly referenced chapters from the major experts in the field today. I will use the text over and over again as a reference and strongly recommend it to all members of my research team. This is the state-of-the-art volume in this emerging field."
