VOLUME 4, ISSUES 1 and 2 - Spring/Summer 2010
Current Issues Surrounding Marijuana: The Science, the Law, the Victims
Both the subject of intense controversy and the most widely used illicit drug in the world, marijuana and its effects merit continued consideration. This issue examines current medical research into cannabis as well as the state of Oregon's recent Supreme Court decision about the use of marijuana in the workplace. Experts also document the convergent problems of drug trafficking and animal cruelty.
In our commentary, a consultant to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime describes the drug trafficking situation in Afghanistan and provides recommendations for future efforts to deal with the debilitating effects of the drug trade on the country and on the world.
The Journal of Global Drug Policy and Practice, a joint effort of the Institute on Global Drug Policy and the International Scientific and Medical Forum on Drug Abuse, is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, online journal with the goal of bridging the information gap on drug policy issues between the medical/scientific community, policymakers and the concerned lay public.
Edited by Eric A. Voth, MD, FACP and David A. Gross, MD, DFAPA, our intended readership includes clinicians, clinical researchers, policymakers, prevention specialists and the interested public. |
