      abstract = {This book presents a well-balanced view of the potential  medical use of cannabinoids in pain. It comprehensively  covers the current challenges with medical cannabis  utilization and provides recommendations for research and  future directions. Organized into nine sections, the book  begins with an introduction to medical cannabis, including  its history, regulations, and the general attitudes of pain  physicians on cannabis. Section two explores the biological  effects of marijuana via the endocannabinoid system and its  complex structure of receptors and enzymes. Sections three,  four, and five then delve further into pharmacology and the  mechanisms of action applicable to cannabinoids in managing  pain. Timely and socially conscious, section six examines  the benefits of substituting opioids with cannabinoids for  preoperative management. Echoing the book's well-rounded  content, sections seven and eight consider the challenges  with medical cannabis, including safety and quality  control, brain development risks, vaping hazards, and  withdrawal. The book then closes with a look at the future  of cannabis in medical research. Thoroughly and equitably  composed, Cannabinoids and Pain is an invaluable resource  for primary care physicians, pain and palliative care  physicians, and oncologists.},
