Abstract
Cannabis and its various derivatives continue to have a growing presence for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Due to such widespread use, health-care providers will need to develop a general, clinical understanding of cannabis and cannabinoids. Despite the general dearth of research within this field, this chapter will provide an overview of the routes of administration as well as highlight potential drug interactions that cannabis products may have with particular classes of pharmaceuticals.
