For hundreds of years cannabis has been used as a therapeutic
medicine around the world. Cannabis was an accepted medicine during
the second half of the 19th century, but its use declined because
single agent pain medications were advocated by physicians who
demanded standardization of medicines. It was not until 1964 when
the chemical structure of THC (delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol) was
elucidated and its pharmacological effects began to be understood.
Numerous therapeutic effects of cannabis have been reviewed, but
cannabis-based medicines are still an enigma because of legal
issues. Many patients could benefit from cannabinoids, terpenoids
and flavonoids found in Cannabis sativa L. These patients suffer
from medical conditions including chronic pain, chronic
inflammatory diseases, neurological disorders, and other
debilitating illnesses. As more states are legalizing medical
cannabis, prescribers need a reliable source which provides
clinical information in a succinct format. This book focuses on the
science of cannabis as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
supplement. It discusses cannabis uses in the human body for bone
health/osteoporosis; brain injury and trauma; cancer; diabetes;
gastrointestinal conditions; mental health disorders; insomnia;
pain; anxiety disorders; depression; migraines; eye disorders; and
arthritis and inflammation. There is emphasis on using the whole
plant - from root to raw leaves and flowers discussing strains,
extraction and analysis, and use of cannabis-infused edibles.
Features: Provides an understanding of the botanical and
biochemistry behind cannabis as well as its use as a dietary
supplement. Discusses endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid
receptors. Includes information on antioxidant benefits, pain
receptors using cannabinoids, and dosage guidelines. Presents
research on cannabis treatment plans, drug-cannabis interactions
and dosing issues, cannabis vapes, edibles, creams, and
suppositories. Multiple appendices including a glossary of cannabis
vocabulary, how to use cannabis products, a patient guide and
recipes as well as information on cannabis for pets.
