Cannabis beyond the high

By Lee Stevenson

This book offers a definitive, balanced perspective on a substance that has defied simple definition for millennia. From its ancient origins as a sacred entheogen to its modern-day revolution, Cannabis Beyond the High provides a comprehensive journey through the complex narrative of cannabis. The book reveals its dual nature, exploring the evidence-based science behind its therapeutic promise for conditions like chronic pain and MS spasticity while also confronting the significant risks, including its dose-dependent link to psychiatric disorders. It goes beyond the headlines to examine the real-world impacts of legalization, weighing the economic benefits of new tax revenues against the social costs of increased substance use and homelessness. Ultimately, the book highlights the critical public health knowledge gaps created by decades of research restrictions, underscoring the ethical challenges of a society grappling with widespread cannabis use in the absence of robust scientific data.
