Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coffee represents a cultural movement that reached its peak during the first decade of the 2000s and reinvented itself in multiple opportunities to maintain its leading role in today's culture. These innovation processes have transformed coffee from a typical artisanal cup of dark, bitter, and hot liquid to a worldwide industry. Nowadays, coffee is usually mixed with spices, liquors, dairy products, and more. Coffee has taken its status as a social beverage to the next level and has made its way into international gastronomy. Although that classic cup of black coffee continues to be a sought-after item, in most establishments specializing in this beverage, a cup of coffee is a work of visual and gustatory art, made by professionals in the field, known as baristas. Coffee has become a powerful industry, and one of its most recent allies is cannabis. The Cannabis industry, on the other hand, has been present in the human culture for millennia, though it had an abrupt interruption at the beginning of the 20th century when classified as an illegal narcotic due to its psychoactive properties. With the availability of new medical research technologies and the progressive easing of use restrictions, both medicinal and recreational, the spotlight is on cannabis as a substance with multiple beneficial effects for health in general. However, this plant should be used with caution, given the absence of knowledge regarding its effects on our organism. Cannabis is on the rise due to its connection with industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and recently coffee. Cannabis coffee is a relatively recent topic. Socially speaking, there seems to be a great interest on the part of Cannabis consumers in incorporating the plant or its derivatives in multiple elements of everyday life, as part of meals and even in their morning coffee. However, despite the social interest in quickly adopting this fusion, scientifically, this is a much delicate subject. One of the main components of coffee is caffeine, which has also been cataloged as a psychoactive substance due to the stimulating effect it exerts on the central nervous system. Similarly, cannabinoids, the main chemical components of cannabis, also act on the nervous system, but produce slightly different effects, as both stimulants and depressants, which translates into states of euphoria or relaxation. Thus, the possible effects that the interaction between these two psychoactive substances may have on the organism is the subject of interest for many scientists, due to their presumed action on brain systems as memory and learning. In this book, we explore the link between cannabis and caffeine and those areas of the nervous system impacted by these substances, and the possible effects that could arise from their interaction in the body. Likewise, we will go through the benefits and risks that this combination could bring. Finally, you will learn some anecdotes from users and the homemade ways of preparing this combination of Cannabis and coffee. Join us to explore the exciting link between the two!

Download or read book The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.

Download or read book Marijuana Boom written by Lina Britto and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Colombia became one of the world’s largest producers of cocaine in the 1980s, traffickers from the Caribbean coast partnered with American buyers in the 1970s to make the South American country the main supplier of marijuana for a booming US drug market, fueled by the US hippie counterculture. How did Colombia become central to the creation of an international drug trafficking circuit? Marijuana Boom is the story of this forgotten history. Combining deep archival research with unprecedented oral history, Lina Britto deciphers a puzzle: Why did the Colombian coffee republic, a model of Latin American representative democracy and economic modernization, transform into a drug paradise, and at what cost?
Download or read book Marijuana As Medicine written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-12-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.
Download or read book Your Brain on Food written by Gary L. Wenk and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An internationally renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Wenk has been educating college and medical students about the brain and lecturing around the world for more than forty years. He has published over three hundred publications on the effects of drugs upon the brain. This essential book vividly demonstrates how a little knowledge about the foods and drugs we eat can teach us a lot about how our brain functions. The information is presented in an irreverent and non-judgmental manner that makes it highly accessible to high school teenagers, inquisitive college students and worried parents.

Wenk tackles fundamental questions, including: · Why do you wake up tired from a good long sleep and why does your sleepy brain crave coffee and donuts? · How can understanding a voodoo curse explain why it is so hard to stop smoking? · Why is a vegetarian or gluten-free diet not always the healthier option for the brain? · How can liposuction improve brain function? · What is the connection between nature's hallucinogens and religiosity? · Why does marijuana impair your memory now but protect your memory later in life? · Why do some foods produce nightmares? · What are the effects of diet and obesity upon the brains of infants and children? · Are some foods better to eat after traumatic brain injury?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the psychiatry and neuroscience of Cannabis sativa (marijuana), with particular emphasis on psychotic disorders. It outlines developments in our understanding of the human cannabinoid system, and links this knowledge to clinical and epidemiological facts about the impact of cannabis on mental health. Clinically focused chapters review not only the direct psychomimetic properties of cannabis, but also the impact consumption has on the courses of evolving or established mental illness such as schizophrenia.

Effects of cannabis on mood, notably depression, are reviewed, as are its effects on cognition.
