Employing an interdisciplinary, biopsychosocial framework, the book explores the different biological, cultural, and policy contexts of medical cannabis from a wide range of perspectives including practitioners, academics, and medical cannabis advocates. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice and underscores the urgent need for expanded and rigorous scientific research as medical cannabis is increasingly legalized, that may result in new cannabis-based medicines and help in identifying what health risks cannabis use may present. Chapters are both evidence-based and practical, weaving in learning objectives, review questions, and varied case examples, all of which will prepare students and professionals for the reality of working with medical cannabis consumers.

Dilworth Wayne Woolley proposed one of the first theories of the biochemistry of mental illness based on empirical evidence. His research with LSD and serotonin had wide-ranging repercussions for pharmacology and fit neatly into the emerging medicalization of mental illness. Reevaluating Woolley’s ideas and the fruits of psychopharmacology leads to possible new approaches toward mental health and illness when considered alongside lessons learned from past research with psychedelic substances, and exemplifies a broader paradigm shift in cultural studies toward a biopsychosocial model that acknowledges the intersections between biology and culture.

How can one apply this inverted logic to LaChapelle's feature-length film that he describes as a documentary? Rize attempts to capture the excitement and cultural significance of krump dancing, and partially succeeds. Where the film falls short as a secondary source explaining the origins and context of krumping is exactly where it succeeds as a primary source, ripe for examination of the ways krump dancing can inform us about the trajectory of popular culture from street to mainstream, the meaning of hip hop to urban youth, and the ways hip-hop culture is represented and sold to the public. Rize lacks critical interrogation of its material (including interviews with dancers and their families) or any in-depth critical analysis of economic issues, race issues, krump dancing within the context of dance history, the dance as a kinetic language, or even the consumption of krumping by the music industry. Instead it presents an entertaining, witty, and sometimes moving look at some of the dancers in Los Angeles and how krumping fits into their lives, which makes it a rich and accessible document for cultural studies. Although the cinematic images are at times sleekly manipulated by the filmmaker-who is one of the America's best-known fashion and celebrity photographers with an impressive list of magazine covers, album covers, and music videos to his name-the film incorporates the look of a music video so subtly and in such an understated manner that this influence goes unnoticed until the end of the film, at which point it derails the film into pure entertainment. Krumping, a hyper-fast form of hip-hop dance, has kept a low profile in the hip-hop scene for almost a decade. The lyrics to Outkast's song ''Rosa Parks'' in 1998 mention krumping, and krump dancing has appeared in several music videos. Mark St. Juste made a documentary in 2003 about krump dancing in Los Angeles, Shake City 101 (which went virtually unnoticed). More recently, talk show host Charlie Rose interviewed David LaChapelle and several dancers about Rize, and krumping
