Due to their educational framework, physicians are conditioned to understand the effects of pharmaceutical medications, drugs, and have little or no training in working with herbal preparations. This limits their understanding of how cannabis operates in the body, especially regarding risks and benefits. This books explains this information to healthcare practitioners.
The era of cannabis use by consumers worldwide is ever increasing. To date almost fifty countries worldwide have approved some form of cannabis as a medical therapy, and legalization for all adults is now approved in 10 states in the US, and Canada. That's close to 200 million people worldwide, with up to 100 million in the US. 50 million US citizens are using cannabis currently. Knowing how to use it safely is a much-needed form of health promotion.
Opioid use declines in states which have approved "medical marijuana." Use of cannabis to reduce opiate consumption is a current harm reduction method.
Serves as a resource text for the newly emerging college level courses on medical cannabis.
