4.0 out of 5 stars But who is Mr. X?, October 16, 1999

By	"dmcycloid" (Sherman Oaks, CA United States) - See all my reviews

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, June 13, 1997

By A Customer

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 :-(

4.0 out of 5 stars A thorough and exhaustive evaluation of marijuana, February 20, 1998

By A Customer

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.
