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.

Pain is one of the main reasons for consultation in health centers around the world. It is an unpleasant symptom that develops from a neurological response to physical or chemical stimuli representing actual or potential damage to tissues and can affect various aspects of the sufferer's life, deteriorating their quality of life. Man's search for pain relief is almost as old as his existence. The ancient shamans, the first physicians in history, dedicated their studies and practices to alleviate pain. Trying with different plants and performing rudimentary and potentially deadly surgical procedures, an endless number of processes whose purpose was nothing more than to relieve pain in all its forms and intensities. One of the most remarkable findings in ancient medicine is the discovery of the analgesic properties of the cannabis plant. This observation was made at least 6,000 years ago and is still valid today. The liberation boom regarding legal restrictions in cannabis use and research has permitted the scientific exploration of the plant's properties, applied to medicine, health, and wellness. This has led to new modern studies exploring the effectiveness of cannabinoid treatment for pain as an adjuvant in the company of other analgesics and by itself. The future of medical cannabis looks promising according to this research. Especially for patients with chronic pain conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathic pain, especially considering that the adverse effects are considerably less and the many administration methods available, many of which are minimally invasive, convenient, and easy to use. In this audiobook, we explore the effects of cannabis on pain relief. We begin defining the concept of what pain is and its function in the body. Then investigate the role of the endocannabinoid system in the part of the nervous system responsible for the transmission of pain, as the scientific basis of the findings described throughout this text. Once this is understood, we focused on the most outstanding aspects concluded by those studies related to using cannabis and its derivatives in pain treatment. Likewise, we discuss how the properties of cannabinoids when applied to the management of this condition with a scientific approach and using testimonies from various patients with different diseases with pain as the main symptom. We can see how the use of the plant helped these people improve their lives. Finally, we study some homemade cannabis-based products which might be beneficial in managing certain types of pain and even some conditions where the use of the plant could be contraindicated.

Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.

Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.

The first authoritative and comprehensive guide for treating chronic pain with medical marijuana from a holistic family physician who has treated more than six thousand chronic pain patients with cannabis.

In Cannabis for Chronic Pain, Dr. Rav explains the potential of marijuana’s capacity for healing anyone afflicted with chronic pain.
