Marijuana and the Cannabinoids presents a compendium of research
into the botany, chemistry, and pharmacology of cannabis and the
medicinal aspects of the cannabinoids. While medicinal use of
Cannabis sativa L. has been reported for over 5000 years, interest
in its medicinal potential and controversy surrounding its illicit
use have grown exponentially since the identification of the
chemical structure of the plant's active constituent (D9-THC) in
1964. This volume presents the findings of researchers on the
forefront of this emerging and controversial field of study.
Chapter 1 is an overview of Cannabis and natural Cannabis
medicines, while Chapter 2 focuses on the chemistry and analysis of
phytocannabinoids and other Cannabis constituents. Chapter 3
discusses the potential of chemical fingerprinting of Cannabis as a
means for source identification, and Chapters 4 and 5 outline the
chemistry and pharmacology of cannabinoids and marijuana smoke
condensate. In Chapter 6, the endocannabinoid system and the
therapeutic potential of cannabinoids is presented. Chapter 7
provides technologies, development strategies, and multilevel
applications for immunoassays for the detection of Cannabis abuse.
In Chapter 8, mass spectrometric methods for the analysis of
cannabinoids in physiological specimens are described. Chapters
9-12 discuss various consequences and adverse effects of prolonged
marijuana use, including medical and health concerns and driving
impairments. Chapters 13 and 14 examine postmortem considerations
and the effects of cannabinoids on biopsychological,
neuropsychiatric, and neurological processes.
