Cannabis Use, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Treatment

Extracts from the Cannabis sativa plant contain scores of psychoactive compounds in addition to the principal agent tetrahydrocannabinol, many of which are neuroactive. Cannabis Use, Neurobiology, Psychology, and Treatment offers readers a comprehensive reference on the neurological changes, transient and long-term, accompanying the use of these compounds and extracts. With coverage of both natural and synthetic cannabinoids, this broad coverage allows readers to learn about both adverse and non-adverse effects, including reactivity to pain, changes in behavior, and neuroactivity. This volume provides a platform for research on the effects of these compounds in brain function and neurological dysfunction.
