In The Science of Marijuana the author explains the remarkable advances that have been made in scientific research on cannabis with the discovery of specific receptors and the existence of naturally occurring cannabis-like substances in the brain.

The recreational use of the drug and how it affects users is described along with some predictions about how attitudes to cannabis use may change in the future.
