Pressestimmen


"Iversen has written an excellent, well-balanced, non-specialist book covering both the biological and social aspects of cannabis. I strongly recommend it" --Nature
"Not only could healthcare professionals, counselors, and researchers utilize this book as an excellent resource, the non-scientific public would find this book highly readable and insightful. With accurate documentation (over 170 references), the author provide readers with sufficient factual information uponwhich to formulate educated opinions on the issues surrounding marijuana as medicine and marijuana in our culture." --Doody's
"A remarkably well-balanced volume that provides the scientific background for the current debate on marijuana use.... A treasure trove of information about the history of marijuana use and legislation, and it effectively summarizes in lay terms the cannabinoid research that now offers a potential scientific foundation for medical, political, and legal decisions about marijuana." --Sci

Kurzbeschreibung

After alcohol and nicotine, marijuana is the most commonly used "recreational" drug in Western countries. There has already been a growing debate about the medical applications of marijuana and other cannabis-based preparations and increasing pressure to legalize such use; voters in several States in the US in the 1996 and 1998 elections approved proposals to implement such measures. In The Science of Marijuana the author explains the remarkable advances that have been made in scientific research on cannabis with the discovery of specific receptors and the existence of naturally occurring cannabis-like substances in the brain. The book also gives an objective and up to date assessment of the scientific basis for the medical use of cannabis and what risks this may entail. The recreational use of the drug and how it affects users is described along with some predictions about how attitudes to cannabis use may change in the future. Leslie Iversen is a scientist who has worked both in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry and has specialized in the study of drug actions on the brain. The book is written with a minimum of scientific jargon or technical language for readers who want to know more about the science that underlies the current cannabis debate.

Only for the sensible 23. Juli 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a highly readable volume that delivers a superb overview of the history, pharmacology and sociology of marijuana. Although the non-scientist may find it tough going in a few places, Iversen does an admirable job of presenting the technical issues with clarity. More importantly, the objectivity is unassailable. If you are looking for the book to tell you that marijuana smoking is perfectly safe you will be disappointed. Equally, if you seek justification of hysterical anti-drug rhetoric you will be unfulfilled. But, if you want to be educated and informed so that you can make your own judgement this is a great place to start. Highly recommended!

A Voice of Reason 21. Juli 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A superb, accessible, scientific assessment of the pharmacology. medicinal uses, health consequences, and recreational effects of the most popular illicit drug in the world. Iversen stays as objective as possible in his discussions of this highly volatile and political topic. He puts nails in the coffins of many marijuana myths, including those related to alleged chromosomal damage and dramatic increases in THC content. He offers keen historical perspectives, and depicts difficult scientific ideas with ease.

Von "psymm"
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is an amazing achievement. Professor Iversen provides a very concise and very precise yet nonetheless eminently readable treatise the the subject of Marijuana. The book delivers what the title promises: a very up-to-date, well documented summary of human knowledge (science) about what this plant material is and how its various pharmacologically active components act in humans and experimental animals. The historical aspects of the subject are also very well integrated into this masterful work.
What the unassuming title does not reveal is that the book contains an extremely well-balanced critique of how this knowledge has been used, misused, used selectively or otherwise manipulated to provide backing to the various sides and interest groups in the political debate on this highly controversial drug.
An interesting stylistic facet of the book is that while Professor Iversen firmly bases his exposition on proven facts, he also gives weight to the subjective experience of individuals that do not easily fit into the general scheme. On the one hand this lends the book a "human interest" angle while on the other hand it makes it clear that there are marijuana phenomena that either still require scientific explanation or that the bandwith of human variability is too large to allow sensible generalisations at present.
This book is very highly recommended to all.
