Book “Cannabis medicinal: De la droga prohibida a solución terapéutica”

Buy “Cannabis medicinal” by José Carlos Bouso — Cannactiva

Cannabis has been used for therapeutic purposes for millennia, but its medical use became heavily restricted after it was included in the drug prohibition conventions in 1961. With the discovery of the endocannabinoid system in the 1990s, science took a renewed interest in the plant. This book, written for all readers, takes a rigorous look at every aspect of cannabis: from science to politics, biomedicine and sociology.
