Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. A growing number of Americans now perceive marijuana as relatively harmless and the notion that the drug should be legalized it is becoming increasingly popular. As policy in this area remains dynamic, resulting health issues, including the harm to adolescents and the potential for compounds to have therapeutic value, become more salient. Contemporary Health Issues on Marijuana is a balanced, empirically driven volume that highlights new and meaningful theory and evidence pertaining to marijuana use. Authored by a multidisciplinary group of experts from the fields of psychology, epidemiology, medicine, and criminal justice, chapters comprehensively review numerous research domains of public health interest with respect to marijuana use, including the drug's impact on cognitive and neurological functioning, its medical effects, treatment approaches for cannabis use disorders, the effects of marijuana smoking on lung function, and marijuana-impaired driving. The book concludes with a chapter on policy implications, taking stock of current trends and anticipating prevalence rates and resulting health consequences that will only continue to grow. Contemporary Health Issues on Marijuana is a resource of great clinical, scientific, and public policy value that will be a must-have for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike.

It has been a research-intensive and clinically productive decade since publication of Clinical Manual of Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment. This new manual reflects that fecundity and progress. Thoroughly updated and expanded, the book focuses on the clinical implications of beginning substance use and the pathways to substance use disorders (SUDs) and coexisting disorders among adolescents and college-age emerging adults (ages 12–25 years). This new manual not only captures the advances made in the youth substance use and SUD domains covered in the previous manual, but also includes new and critically important topics that have emerged in the interim, such as pediatric assessment and intervention, electronic tools for assessment and treatment, maternal fetal addiction, cannabis and e-cigarette use harmfulness, and the new products/delivery systems and innovative patterns of use that have surfaced. Staying abreast of this rapid expansion of this age group–specific knowledge base is a must for a wide range of clinicians and health service providers, and the book presents this valuable material in an authoritative and accessible manner.Clinical Manual of Youth Addictive Disorders is the updated, comprehensive, and clinically oriented text for which physicians, mental health professionals, addiction specialists, drug treatment service providers, applied researchers, and public health policy makers have been waiting.
