For many centuries patients & physicians have found marihuana to be a highly effective medicine. This drug, outlawed for over 50 years in the USA, provides relief from nausea, pain & muscle spasms, & alleviates symptoms of glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, migraine & other debilitating ailments. Yet the government grants only 12 patients in the entire country the right to use marihuana medically, & permits even that with great reluctance. In this book, Dr Lester Grinspoon & James B. Bakalar draw on 20 years of research to describe the medical benefits of marihuana, explain why it has been forbidden & argue that full legalization is necessary to make it available to all patients who need it.
