Montréal, le 6 novembre 2018--Dans le contexte de la légalisation du cannabis au Québec et au Canada, le pharmacologue de renom, professeur à l'Université de Montréal, M. Ben Amar, le Centre québécois de lutte aux dépendances (CQLD) et le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec publient une toute nouvelle référence académique sur la question du cannabis « Le cannabis : Pharmacologie et toxicologie ».
Le nouveau livre fournit des informations justes, actuelles et exhaustives sur la substance controversée qu'est le cannabis. Il constitue une source incontournable pour les individus, les gouvernements, les organismes publics et privés ainsi que les petites et grandes corporations qui devront s'ajuster à cette nouvelle réalité. « Le cannabis : Pharmacologie et toxicologie » promet de devenir la référence sur la question, notamment au sujet de l'histoire, la législation, la pharmacologie et les risques pour la santé.
« Avec cette réalité nouvelle pour la société québécoise, nous avons à c'ur d'assurer la santé et la sécurité de la population, notamment les jeunes. Il est essentiel de bien informer les citoyens des effets de la consommation de cette substance, afin qu'ils puissent prendre des décisions éclairées à cet égard. En ce sens, ce livre vient offrir un éventail d'informations pertinentes, et la démarche qui a mené à sa publication reflète l'importance de la concertation et du partage d'expertises entre tous les acteurs concernés », souligne monsieur Horacio Arruda, directeur national de santé publique.
