A Clinician’s Guide to
Cannabinoid Science
Cannabinoid Science
by Steven James tackles the issues surrounding the use of
cannabinoids with a refreshingly objective tone that threads the needle between
advocacy and opposition. Presented in a readable scientific voice, this book
explores the history, the specific compounds, the mechanism of action and the
distinct therapeutic targets of cannabinoids in a concise yet comprehensive
style. Particularly useful are the bullet points at the beginning of each chapter
summarizing chapter composition and the numerous references documenting
the content. Nowhere else will the reader
find
the breadth of coverage of
cannabinoids under one cover, nor is there any better source for the facts.
This book is a must read both for clinicians wanting information about canna-
binoids for their patients taking them as well as for patients themselves who
want access to the best science available.
Dr Stephen M. Stahl, University of California at San Diego, San Diego, California
In this thoroughly researched, scholarly book, Dr James has drawn on his
extensive experience interpreting clinical trials and his skill as a clinician to
present a cohesive account of cannabinoid science. This is a valuable resource
for anyone wishing to understand the clinical implications of this evolving
field.
