one of the teachers at my school taught us for PSHE where we learn about drugs, sex etc. and she was "teaching" us about drugs and we had a debate and one of the points was medicinal marijuana. the dumb bitch said "do you honestly think anyone ACTUALLY uses it for medical reasons?" thinking she was so smart and ahead of everyone. I'd like to see her ask anyone that again after seeing this.

@SebbeSucksBawlz My gf is in a dependence and addiction class with a professor who has a long background as a drug cop. She ASSURES her class that marijuana is bad and addictive. Luckily we're compiling a report for the open debate come end of the semester that included a lot of Dr. Grinspoon's work.

@dogoodforothers There is nothing bad about getting high anyway... It makes people happy and has little if any harm. It certainly isn't more harmful than cigarette smoke or alcohol.

[dogoodforothers]

@ dogoodforothers....Getting "high" or not, we should see what WORKS, and in what form, and use it to help people heal. Period. Enough of the politics. This is LIFE we are talking about here!

[dogoodforothers]

I have seen vids on juicing the plant, and they discussed how burning the plant changes the structure of the THC. This makes more sense; and folks were not getting "high" from it but rather they were able to get a maximum dose of the active healing chemicals (and there are much more than THC in the plant, perhaps some that have not yet been identified).

except you gave him the cannabis too late, look at harvard medicals cases of thc decreasing the size of tumors, crazy huh no wonder its a schedule 1 drug, cures too many things

You are one of my heroes, Dr. Grinspoon. It's nice to be able to reference you as an intelligent individual who can make valid arguments for cannabis legalization.

I'm very glad we have Dr. Grinspoon on our side. That's a very touching story.
