Pressestimmen
"The historical, medicinal, cultural, and visionary uses of marijuana (Cannabis sativa) in Africa, Asia, India, Europe, and the Americas is discussed in this visual tribute to a versatile plant. The dialog is clear and engaging, yet maintains a scientific approach. Complete with very good photography, this has to be the most complete pictorial and informative presentation of Cannabis."
Book Description
A comprehensive survey of the therapeutic, historical, and cultural uses of cannabis in traditions around the world. * The most complete visual record of cannabis culture ever published. * Christian Ratsch is one of the world's foremost ethnopharmacologists and is the current president of the German Society for Ethnomedicine.
Marijuana Medicine explores the role of hemp in medicinal systems spanning the globe. Cannabis has accompanied the development of human culture from its very beginnings and can be found in the healing traditions of cultures throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Even today it is an important part of many Asian healing traditions: in Ayurveda cannabis is praised for its tonic and aphrodisiac qualities and in traditional Chinese medicine it is cited as a superb antidepressant. It also remains a significant part of the healing and visionary traditions of Latin American curanderos and Brazilian, Nepalese, and Indian folk medicine. Modern research has confirmed the effectiveness of marijuana's application in treating such diseases as asthma and glaucoma. Christian Ratsch profiles the medicinal, historical, and cultural uses of cannabis in each of these societies and medical systems, providing remedies and recipes for those interested in how cannabis can be used to treat specific conditions.

I bought this book that I found on the discounted book pile ... Ratsch's book, "Marijuana Medicine" is very well written. It discusses the cultural and historical uses of marijuana as a medicine through the years. I found it very interesting. The pictures were a nice touch! The sections on current western medicine and self-medication were of particular interest to me. I found that, overall, most of the relevant topics in these two sections were addressed. They could have, and ought to have been of sufficient detail, including analysis and studies found throughout the literature. Again, it was engaging, well written, informed me about historical and intercultural uses that I'd not known before. But, it lacked sufficient detail for adoption as a scholarly book or resource. Interesting topic that probably merits further discussion. I give it a B.
