Cannabis Therapeutics in HIV/AIDS

Cannabis Therapeutics in HIV/AIDS provides a scientific view of the benefits of marijuana in helping to increase appetite and ease the trauma of HIV/AIDS. Editor Ethan Russo has assembled a collection of first-rate information from experienced clinicians, researchers, and patients. Beginning with Dr. Richard Bayer's broad medical overview of the subject, the book continues with an insider's view of the twenty-year history of HIV/AIDS and its interface with cannabis and the medical marijuana movement. You'll also find two studies of clinical cannabis usage from different populations in California, a state-of-the-art review of immunological issues, an examination of pulmonary issues with smoked cannabis, and a look at alternative methods of delivery such as vaporization, rectal suppositories, sublingual extracts, and aerosol preparations.
