Аннотация:
This review is based on a Medline search of articles on the pharmacology and effects of cannabis and cannabinoids 1980-1998, supple¬mented by comprehensive books and compendia, and standard books and articles from the older literature. Relevant books and articles were hand-searched for additional references. The search was conducted originally for reports commissioned by the Department of Health7, the British Medical Association17 and the Ministry of Defence (unpublished), but has since been updated. The articles quoted in this review were selected from a very large bibliography as having relevance to the recreational use of cannabis and the medical use of cannabinoids in the UK today. Constraints on the number of references permitted meant further selection of original data, but most impor¬tant articles omitted here are cited in the reviews mentioned. Thus the review is not claimed to be comprehensive but aims to give a bal¬anced view of the available information on the known and potential adverse effects of cannabis and cannabinoids in humans.
