Review of the hardback: 'Overall, this book is useful as a pioneering guide to understanding cannabis dependence in order to inform and implement topical prevention strategies, interventions, and policies. It is very comprehensive, and, also aims to dispel certain common myths regarding cannabis. As a review of the fresh research it could also prove valuable as a potential springboard for other researchers wishing to explore this area further.' Journal of Mental Health
