Sources
- The sections on Asia and on pharmacy summarise the pages on each medicine and the regional pages (Cannabis in Ayurveda, Cannabis in Thai traditional medicine, Cannabis in Khmer medicine, Cannabis in traditional Chinese medicine), and cite the same works for the same statements.
- For southern Africa the page cites Watt's paper of 1961, which summarises the cannabis entry of Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk's book of 1962, then in the press. The book is not cited directly.
- The Caribbean section rests on Rubin and Comitas (1975); Comitas's chapter of the same year reports the same fieldwork.
- Crossref lists Yongram and others (2025) under volume 6, issue 9. The article's DOI and the journal give volume 9, issue 6 (June 2025), which the page follows.
Left out
- The 210 formulations counted by Tavhare and Acharya and the 16 Thai formulas of 2019 are tabled on Cannabis in Ayurveda and Cannabis in Thai traditional medicine, not repeated here.
- Arabic, Persian and Unani medicine are not yet covered.
- Collis Browne's own formula for chlorodyne is not cited; the page reports only the printed formulas and the doubt recorded about the original.
