Seeing Through the Smoke A Cannabis Specialist Untangles the Truth About Marijuana [Audiobook]

Seeing through the Smoke is an unflinching examination at the grossly misunderstood drug that uses data-driven medical science and a critical historical perspective to reveal the truth behind cannabis. In this balanced and measured investigation, cannabis specialist and instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School Dr. Peter Grinspoon untangles the reality behind cannabis, revealing how we ended up with radically divergent understandings of the drug and pointing a way toward a middle ground that we can all share. By focusing on the most critical purported harms-driving, addictiveness, memory-and by focusing on the most commonly cited medical benefits-relieving chronic pain, sleep, anxiety, PTSD, autism, and cancer-Seeing through the Smoke will help patients, parents, doctors, health experts, regulators, and politicians move beyond biased perceptions and arrive at a shared reality towards cannabis.
