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.

There are so few books (unfortunately due to severely limited research) that provide a pharmacological view. This book is interesting in that it points out the most common receptor sites aswell as the agonists(stimulate the receptor) and antagonists(block the receptor). Much more research needs to be done but until then this book shines for the information it provides during these dark ages of thought. Good information, wish there was more...

As a professional in the field for over six years, I highly recommend this excellent introduction and overview to the medicinal benefits and contemporary scientific research on cannabis to date.
