Metabolism and Side Effects of...

Pharmacology University

In the following audiobook you will learn about biochemistry, metabolism, pharmacokinetics and side effects of cannabinoids.
Cannabis is a plant species of the Cannabaceae family, which includes three strains: Cannabis indica, Cannabis sativa and Cannabis ruderalis. Thanks to its features, cannabis has been used in several fields throughout history. The first reference of its therapeutic use was in China, in the 4.000 B.C. in the most ancient pharmaceutical guide known: the Pen Ts’ao Ching, attributed to the emperor Shen Nung, where it was used against menstrual disorders, goute, malaria, constipation and muscular weakness; later, indications were extended to wound healing, against infectious processes, clearance of pus, treatment of rheumatism, and to decrease fever and anxiety.
Pharmacokinetics and metabolism of cannabinoids involve absorption through different routes of administration and drug prescriptions, distribution of their compounds throughout the body, metabolism by the liver and extrahepatic tissues, and elimination in feces, urine, sweat, oral fluids and hair, and excretion by different body fluids. Pharmacokinetic processes are dynamic, can change over time and can be affected by the frequency and magnitude of drug exposure.
There is limited understanding of the expected side effects of cannabis use in a therapeutic context. Consequently, a significant amount of the data on this topic are derived from studies investigating the recreational use of cannabis, which implies caution in making conclusions regarding medicinal use. Specifically, the amount of cannabis used, methods of administration, and the existence of comorbidities differ significantly between recreational and medicinal cannabis-using populations. As a result, different side effects might be expected, but what has been documented to date refers to mild effects.

A Pocket Guide to Pigeon...

Rosemary Mosco

Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
 
 
 
Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
 
 
 
Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.

The Story of Drugs - How...

John Harpoon

Throughout human history, substances have shaped the course of civilizations, influencing not only individual lives but entire societies. From the sacred plants used in ancient religious rituals to the drugs that sparked global trade and conflict, substances have been at the center of some of the most transformative events in human history. These substances—whether natural or synthetic—have impacted cultures, economies, medicine, and politics in ways that continue to reverberate today.
The use of psychoactive substances is as old as human civilization itself. In ancient times, plants like opium, cannabis, and peyote were not only used for their mind-altering properties but also for their spiritual significance. Shamanistic rituals, often involving trance-like states induced by these substances, were common across many early societies. These practices tied substances to deep spiritual experiences, leading to the belief that these plants had a divine or otherworldly power.
As civilizations grew, so did the complexity of their relationship with drugs. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all had distinct approaches to substances, incorporating them into everything from medicine to social rituals. The introduction of alcohol as a staple in religious ceremonies and social life further solidified the role of substances in the daily lives of these societies. At the same time, substances like opium were recognized for their medicinal value, setting the stage for the eventual development of the pharmaceutical industry.
