Although federal law in the United States still prohibits the use, possession, and sale of cannabis containing more than 0.3% THC, 24 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. This trend is also seen in other countries, including Canada, South Africa, and Uruguay. Studies show that the prevalence of cannabis use disorder among people who use cannabis is relatively high. As the business of cannabisboth legal and illicitand its use continue to grow, mental health and medical professionals must be prepared to address the effects of cannabis on the mind and body. Equipping providers with the relevant information is the intention of The Other Side of Cannabis.

Key points at the end of each chapter aid in the retention and recall of the most important information. Readers will come away with a comprehensive understanding of the detrimental impact of cannabis use and be better positioned to educate patients, the public, and policymakers.
