Publié le : 1 janvier 2012 par Journal SWAPS SWAPS, nº 66 Dossier Prohibition par Didier Jayle / Centre national des arts et métiers / Bertrand Lebeau / Hôpital Saint-Antoine / William Lowenstein / Clinique Montevideo À l’heure de la mondialisation, les conventions internationales contre les drogues demeurent inefficaces contre les mafias.

Although the efficacy of cannabinoids is being increasingly demonstrated in randomized controlled trials, most safety information comes from studies of recreational use.

We critically evaluated [...]
