Cannabis, Volume Five in the Neurobiology of Addiction series, explores the molecular and cellular systems in the brain that are responsible for both nicotine and marijuana addiction. The book includes thorough descriptions of the physiological effects and behavioral effects of nicotine and marijuana addiction. The authors clearly define the neurobiological effects into three distinct steps: Binge/Intoxication Stage, Withdrawal/Negative Affect Stage, and finally, the Preoccupation/Anticipation Stage.
