Abstract
The cannabis plant has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. However, its use as medicine has not been rigorously assessed due to legislated restrictions in many jurisdictions. The recent relaxation of several of the legal controls has seen medicinal cannabis return to the pharmacy. As such, there has been a considerable resurgence in scientific interest in medicinal cannabis, the endocannabinoid system, and many aspects of cannabinoid chemistry. We are delighted to publish this special issue on ‘Cannabis and Cannabinoids’ which highlights some of the latest scientific evidence in this continually expanding and important field of research.
