published.
- Christian Ratsch is one of the world's foremost
ethnopharmacologists and is the current president of the German

"Marijuana Medicine" explores the role of hemp in medicinal
systems spanning the globe. Cannabis has accompanied the
development of human culture from its very beginnings and can be
found in the healing traditions of cultures throughout Africa,
Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Even today it is an important part
of many Asian healing traditions: in Ayurveda cannabis is praised
for its tonic and aphrodisiac qualities and in traditional Chinese
medicine it is cited as a superb antidepressant. It also remains a
significant part of the healing and visionary traditions of Latin
American curanderos and Brazilian, Nepalese, and Indian folk
medicine. Modern research has confirmed the effectiveness of
marijuana's application in treating such diseases as asthma and
glaucoma. Christian Ratsch profiles the medicinal, historical, and
cultural uses of cannabis in each of these societies and medical
systems, providing remedies and recipes for those interested in how
cannabis can be used to treat specific conditions.
