This book summarizes what we know about marijuana from evidence-based medicine-the harm it may do and the relief it may bring to patients. The book helps the reader understand not only what science has to say about medical marijuana but also the logic behind the scientific conclusions. Marijuana and Medicine addresses the science base and the therapeutic effects of marijuana use for medical conditions such as glaucoma and multiple sclerosis. It covers marijuana's mechanism of action, acute and chronic effects on health and behavior, potential adverse effects, efficacy of different delivery systems, analysis of the data about marijuana as a gateway drug, and the prospects for developing cannabinoid drugs. The book evaluates how well marijuana meets accepted standards for medicine and considers the conclusions of other blue-ribbon panels. Full of useful facts, this volume will be important to anyone interested in informed debate about the medical use of marijuana: advocates and opponents as well as policymakers, regulators, and health care providers. 606 $aMarijuana$xTherapeutic use 606 $aCannabinoids$xTherapeutic use 615 0$aMarijuana$xTherapeutic use. 615 0$aCannabinoids$xTherapeutic use. 676 $a615/.32345 701 $aJoy$b Janet E$g(Janet Elizabeth),$f1953-$01812061 701 $aWatson$b Stanley J.$f1943-$01812318 701 $aBenson$b John A.$f1921-$01812319 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bDivision of Neuroscience and Behavioral Health. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970661103321 996 $aMarijuana and medicine$94364687 997 $aUNINA
