Legalization of marijuana is becoming increasingly prominent in the
United States and around the world. While there is some discussion
of the relationship between marijuana and overall health, a
comprehensive resource that outlines the medical literature for
several organ systems, as well as non-medical societal effects, has
yet to be seen. While all physicians strive to practice
evidence-based medicine, many clinicians aren't aware of the facts
surrounding cannabis and are guided by public opinion. This first
of its kind book is a comprehensive compilation of multiple facets
of cannabis recommendation, use and effects from a variety of
different perspectives. Comprised of chapters dedicated to separate
fields of medicine, this evidence-based guide outlines the current
data, or lack thereof, as well as the need for further study. The
book begins with a general overview of the neurobiology and
pharmacology of THC and hemp. It then delves into various medical
concerns that plague specific disciplines of medicine such as
psychiatry, cardiology, gastrointestinal and neurology, among
others. The end of the book focuses on non-medical concerns such as
public health and safety, driving impairment and legal
implications. Comprised of case studies and meta-analyses, Cannabis
in Medicine: An Evidence-Based Approach provides clinicians with
with a concise, evidence-based guide to various health concerns
related to the use of marijuana. By addressing non-medical
concerns, this book is also a useful resource for professionals
working in the public health and legal fields.
