Over the last several decades, cannabis has been increasingly accepted as a legitimate therapeutic option by the public. Healthcare professionals, most of whom did not learn about cannabis, cannabinoids, or the endocannabinoid system in school, face the challenge of understanding the potential benefits, risks, and role of cannabis-based medicine in patient care. Cannabis Science and Therapeutics: The Essential Guide for Clinicians provides evidence-based information and practical guidance to empower clinicians to navigate the complex scientific and regulatory landscape of cannabis- |

based medicine. Cannabis Science and Therapeutics begins with an overview of the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid pharmacology-- the scientific foundation for clinical applications of cannabis-based medicine. It also clarifies what the evidence really says about cannabis use for different medical conditions and how clinicians can interpret clinical and pre-clinical data to make decisions with patients about safe and effective use of cannabis-based medicine. This book includes the most up-to-date guidance on patient selection, administration, dosing, safety monitoring, drug interactions, and harm reduction strategies. A review of public health considerations provides readers with information necessary to engage patients, colleagues, policymakers, and other stakeholders in robust and balanced dialogue about the role of cannabis-based medicine in society. The book briefly overviews federal and state cannabis regulations, with a focus on implications for research. This book is intended both for readers with limited exposure to cannabis-based medicine and those already familiar with it who are seeking a comprehensive resource. |
