Description
Harvard University Press. Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1971. First Edition, First Printing. Near Fine in Good dust jacket. Slight edgewear to the dust jacket near the top of the spine. A very important work in cannabis history. Dr. Lester Grinspoon was one of the most vocal champions of marijuana legalization in the United States who used his position as a respected Harvard professor to promote cannabis advocacy. Marihuana Reconsidered presents research references throughout the book to make the case for legalization. After three years of research on cannabis, I concluded that not only was it much less harmful than alcohol or tobacco but also that no harm it might cause was nearly as serious as the damage attributable to the annual arrest of 400,000 mostly young people on marihuana charges. Grinspoon wrote in the introduction of a reprint of the book. The New York Times, in its review, wrote that "hopefully many Americans will read Lester Grinspoon's Marihuana Reconsidered and utilize the information so well presented in reaching their own decision on to legalize or not. It was revealed years later in the availability of Richard Nixon's oval office tapes that Dr. Grinspoon gained the attention of the President through his best selling book and advocacy. NORML founder Keith Stroup said in a statement: While there have been other medical and public health experts who have taken an active role to advance full legalization of marijuana, it is Dr. Lester Grinspoon who first led the way to insist that our marijuana policies be based on legitimate science. He has made it possible for us to have an informed public policy debate leading to the growing list of states legalizing the responsible use of marijuana. Bookseller Inventory # 919247
