Cannabis has started a research revolution that is changing how patients and medical professionals look at herbal therapies and integrative medicine. Cannabis in Clinical Practice is a quick introduction and comprehensive overview of cannabis, the endocannabinoid system, and the therapeutic uses and potential of cannabinoid medicines for doctors, patients, andhealthcare workers. Author David Bearman, MD, has over two decades of experience as a cannabis clinician in California. This book was built on a foundation of his groundbreaking work and has been enhanced and expanded by Carolina Nocetti, MD, a clinician with extensive experience with cannabinoid therapy, and Maria Pettinato, RN, PhD, who has utilized and enhanced this book for use as a textbook for the College of Nursing at Seattle University. This edition was edited and expanded by Angela Bacca, who has been a legal medical cannabis patient for nearly two decades and has edited and/or co-written over a dozen books and hundreds of articles about cannabis horticulture, genetics, business, culture, medicine, herbalism, and alternative medicine. The authors use this unique and relevant blend of expertise to clearly and concisely explain how cannabis interacts with the human body, dosing, administration routes, therapeutic potentials, and clinical management. Cannabis in Clinical Practice also offers physicians a step-by-step guide on how to integrate cannabis into their clinical practices.The authors ultimately seek to increase awareness of the endocannabinoid system and encourage its incorporation into the curricula of medical schools and healthcare training programs.
