CANNABIS USE: It is not totally harmless, but it has a very low risk level

Both the title and the forward were taken from important quotations. The title comes from a statement by Professor Umberto Veronesi, Professor of Oncology and Minister of Health, who, as often happens with geniuses, shows himself to be ahead of his time in what has since been verified and published in articles assessing the dangers associated with the use of psychotropic substances, which equate essentially the level of harm caused by cannabis and nicotine, as can be seen in the tables in the following. Of course, the greater harm associated with cigarettes, as said by Veronesi, also depends on the fact that those who are addicted to tobacco smoke many cigarettes a day, while far fewer joints are smoked in the same period. The material included in the Forward was taken from a publication by EUDA, formerly EMCDDA, which can be downloaded from the website indicated and which generally concerns the issues analysed in the project and included in this book. This book is the final product of a national PRIN project, which also involved foreign researchers.
