Canongate Books Ltd.
Canongate is an independent publisher: since 1973 we’ve worked to unearth and amplify the most vital, exciting voices we can find, wherever they come from, and we’ve published all kinds of books – thoughtful, upsetting, gripping, beatific, vulgar, chaste, unrepentant, life-changing . . . Along the way there have been landmarks of fiction – including Alasdair Gray’s masterpiece Lanark, and Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, the best-ever-selling Booker winner – and non-fiction too. We’ve published an American president and a Guantanamo detainee; we’ve campaigned for causes we believe in and fought court cases to get our authors heard. And twice we’ve won Publisher of the Year. We’re still fiercely independent, and we’re as committed to unorthodox and innovative publishing as ever.

Our authors, recognised cannabis experts, have put everything important together in one place: - Indications and routes of administration - Effects, interactions and side effects - Selection and prescription of suitable cannabis-based medicines - Practical tips, e.g. about travelling or driving and road use The 4th edition includes updates on the legal situation, the pharmacology of the endocannabinoid system and of cannabidiol. Directions for use and tips for patients taking cannabis have been added, together with the new prescribing modalities for physicians as well as a list of available cannabis products. This prescribing aid covers the expanded range of cannabis-based medicines and the current legal position.

What we know,what we need to know
by Peter Cremer-Schaeffer
For the current German government coalition the legalisation of cannabis is a done deal. Over the course of the legislative period, the possibility is to be created of providing adults with a controlled supply of cannabis for recreational purposes. But regardless of that, the health consequences of cannabis use remain controversial. In his book, the author debates the state of opinion. What findings on cannabis are definite today, and which questions remain unanswered? He also takes stock of the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, which has been legal for years. Whether about the plant, its effects on body and mind or the legal situation in other countries, anyone who wishes to have a well-considered say on the topic of cannabis needs to read this book.
