This text reviews the rapidly growing body of scientific evidence on cannabis - how it works, the role of endogenous cannabinoids in the brain and body, and the opportunities for new medicines based on such knowledge. The regulation of cannabis use varies considerably throughout the world. This work reviews the rapid changes that have occurred in liberalizing the medical use of cannabis, and in some instances the full legalization of cannabis use, with an emphasis on events in the United States and Canada. The advantages and disadvantages of liberalizing the medical and recreational use of cannabis are discussed in a neutral manner, leaving the reader to decide. 000858933 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on October 22, 2018). 000858933 650_0 $$aMarijuana$$xPhysiological effect. 000858933 650_0 $$aMarijuana$$xToxicology. 000858933 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190846848 000858933 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000858933 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000858933 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190846848.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000858933 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858933$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858933 980__ $$aBIB 000858933 983__ $$aOnline
