Handbook of Cannabis and Related Pathologies: Biology, Pharmacology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Handbook of Cannabis and Related Pathologies: Biology, Pharmacology, Diagnosis, and Treatment is the first book to take an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of cannabis use and misuse. Recent worldwide trends toward decriminalizing marijuana for medical use have increased legal use of the drug and recreational use remains high, making cannabis one of the most commonly used drugs. Cannabis has a wide range of adverse neurological effects, and use and abuse can lead to physical, social, and psychopathological issues that are multifarious and complex. Effective understanding and treatment requires knowledge of the drug's effects from across scientific disciplines. This book provides an overview of the biological and pharmacological components of the cannabis plant, outlines its neurological, social, and psychopathological effects, assists in the diagnosis and screening for use and dependency, and aids researchers in developing effective treatments for cannabis-related issues and disorders. Fully illustrated, with contributions from internationally recognized experts, it is the go-to resource for neuroscientists, pharmacologists, pathologists, public-health workers, and any other researcher who needs an in-depth and cross-disciplinary understanding of cannabis and its effects. Comprehensive chapters include an abstract, key facts, mini dictionary of terms, and summary pointsPresents illustrations with at least six figures, tables, and diagrams per chapterProvides a one-stop-shopping synopsis of everything to do with cannabis and its related pathology, from chemicals and cells, individuals and communities, and diagnosis and treatmentOffers an integrated and informed synopsis of the complex issues surrounding cannabis as a substance, its use, and its misuse INDICE: The Cannabis Plant: Botanical Aspects The biosynthesis of cannabinoids Increasing plant concentrations of THC and implications on health related disorders Age as a Predictor of Cannabis Use Lifetime cannabis use and cognition in psychosis spectrum disorders A Profile of Synthetic Cannabinoid Users Dual disorders in cannabis misuse Cannabis use and cognitive function Cannabis, migration and psychosis onset The global epidemiology and disease burden of cannabis use and dependence International aspects of cannabis use and misuse - the Australian perspective International aspects of cannabis use and misuse: Egypt Cannabis Body Packing - A Caribbean Perspective Gender differences in cannabis use disorders The role of age in the onset and further development of cannabis use disorders Effects of Cannabis Use on Neurocognition in Adolescents and Emerging Adults with Psychiatric Comorbidities Correlates and consequences of prenatal cannabis exposure (PCE): identifying and characterizing vulnerable maternal populations and determining outcomes for exposed offspring Cannabis and clubbing: Relevance of cannabis and polydrug use in the clubbing culture today Cannabis and Sexual Behavior Friendships and Cannabis Use Students' knowledge of cannabis Childhood trauma and cannabis - risk factors in severe mental disorders Parent's Influence on Their Children's Cannabis Use Cannabis Users and Premorbid Intellectual Quotient (IQ) Cannabis and traffic accidents Drug-related pictures, attentional bias, and cannabis use Cannabis use and first-episode psychosis patients (FEP) Cannabis, associative memory, fMRI, and the Implicit Association Test Stress Response in Cannabis Users and Psychosis Motivation in Chronic Cannabis Use Cannabis use and its association to mental illness: a focus on mood and anxiety disorders Cannabis Use and Well-being Craving and cannabis: A potential paradox Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol and catalepsy-like immobilization The interactive nature of cannabis and schizophrenia risk genes Neuroimaging findings in Adolescent Cannabis use and Early Phase Psychosis Cannabis smoking in adult schizophrenia: A cognitive and functional magnetic resonance imaging perspective The long-lasting effects of cannabis use on movement and brain regions that control movement Assessment of cannabis acute effects on driving skills: laboratory, simulator and on road studies Chronic cannabis use and axonal fibre connectivity Microglial activation and cannabis exposure Cannabis and psychosis: correlation, causality and consequences Cannabis use and cannabis use disorders in bipolar disorder - causes and consequences Cannabis use in epilepsy - risks and benefits Cannabis, cannabinoids and visceral pain.
