Medically used cannabis is an effective remedy that has been used worldwide in traditional medicine systems since ancient times. The range of diseases, symptoms, and ailments treatable with hemp is particularly extensive. No other plant known to humans has such a multifaceted spectrum of effects as cannabis – and that without causing significant side effects. Not least for this reason, more and more patients, doctors, therapists, pharmacists, and pharmacologists prefer medicines based on cannabis and cannabinoids.
After decades of repression and the war on drugs, hemp is gradually reestablishing itself today as a beneficial medicine; in many countries, it has already been legalized again. The book summarizes the current data and facts about cannabis and cannabinoids as medicinal remedies, highlights the scientific status quo, informs about the various preparation and administration methods, and thus offers a well-understandable overview that can also be helpful to doctors.
With numerous contributions from participating authors, e.g. Franjo Grotenhermen, Robert C. Clarke, and Jorge Cervantes.
