4.0 out of 5 stars A thorough and exhaustive evaluation of marijuana 20 Feb 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Dr. Grinspoon examines - and thoroughly debunks - many of the common misconceptions about marijuana. The Chemistry and Pharmacology chapter is rather heavy going, but it can be ignored with little loss by non-pharmacologists. I thoght the book was quite well done and useful in understanding the role, past and present, of marijuana in society.

4.0 out of 5 stars But who is Mr. X? 16 Oct 1999
By K Cycloid - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For what it's worth, one interesting thing about this book is that the essay by Mr. X has been positively attributed to the luminant Carl Sagan by Grinspoon himself. Sagan discusses his experiences with mj, and provides persuasive and convincing accounts of his experiences. Very interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thorough examination of the use of cannabinoids in medicin 13 Jun 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Dr Grinspoon is one of the World's leading
authorities on medicinal uses of cannabis. He
makes a good case for the re-introduction of
cannabis to mitigate symptoms of many conditions.

Unfortunately, drugs must be thoroughly tested,
which costs millions. No pharmaceutical company
will fund testing of a herb you can grow on your
window sill for free :-(
