Marihuana Reconsidered

"My intention is to present a reasonably accurate & comprehensive account of the drug marihuana & its properties & to put into perspective its dangers & utilities" (from the introduction). This well documented exploration of the history of marihuana in the United States is written by Dr. Lester Grinspoon, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Including a new introduction by the author, this reprint of the 1977 second edition is timely, given the resurgence of interest in marihuana both as a medicine & a euphoric. It covers many aspects of the marihuana issue, from the results of laboratory experiments to literary accounts of its effects. It has a comprehensive analysis of the history of marihuana as a legal & illegal intoxicant & medicine. MARIHUANA RECONSIDERED is the most thorough evaluation of the benefits & dangers of marihuana as well as an invaluable resource.Grinspoon, Lester is the author of 'Marihuana Reconsidered' with ISBN 9780932551139 and ISBN 0932551130.
