- Summary:
- The Handbook of Cannabis Therapeutics: From Bench to Bedside sets aside the condemnation and hysteria of society's view of cannabis to concentrate on the medically sound aspects of cannabis therapeutics. The world's foremost experts provide a reasoned, thoroughly researched overview of the controversial subject of cannabis, from its history as a medicine through its latest therapeutic uses. The latest studies on the botany, history, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, and clinical uses for various illnesses such as AIDS, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis, as well as side effects of marijuana are all examined and discussed in depth. The book is carefully referenced to encourage examination of previous studies and provides tables and figures to enhance understanding of the material.
