Details: Epidemiology of Cannabis: Genotoxicity, Neurotoxicity, Epigenomics and Aging provides a novel and comprehensive exploration of five areas that have previously been associated with cannabis use, namely mental health in adults and young adults, pediatric autism, congenital anomalies, cancers, and aging. The book also explores the possibility of how these associations might be reflected in overall disease trends at the population health level. This book surveys these five areas in detail and applies cutting-edge analytical software and geospatial space–time analytical techniques to these questions.

With all this information gathered into one book in an easily readable form, this book is a reference for clinicians, health science and allied health practitioners, public health and basic science researchers and drug and health regulators interested in these topics. It is also suitable for inclusion in course work and study preparation courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Examines adult and pediatric neurotoxicity and genotoxicity from cannabis use, along with health impacts Analyzes epigenetics and the observed pattern of teratological, cancerogenic, and age-accelerated disease Utilizes advanced statistical and geotemporalspatial analysis to investigate cannabis exposure and health
