BACK COVER #
Cannabis: From Pariah to Prescription reviews the latest research from recent clinical trials with cannabis and cannabinoids--outlining their place and future as prescription medicines. This book addresses the "road back" for cannabis medicines and society's reacceptance of cannabis as a prescription product. This book offers physicians, patients, scientists, and students a primer on this developing branch of pharmacology and therapeutics and is ideal for use in courses for medicine, psychopharmacology, alternative medicine, health policy, and pharmacology.

"Educational and Provocative. . . . Extremely Timely. A compendium of clinical studies conducted by GW Pharmaceuticals using their cannabis-based medical extracts (CBME). Dr. Russo's introduction reviews the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis for a variety of maladies. This chapter will be particularly interesting to readers wishing to understand the possible reasons for the differences between herbal cannabis and pharmaceutically prepared delta-9-THC. It also presents the fascinating history of the development of CBME."
