Its mostly about sativex and marinol, but i found it be very interesting.

heres a small portion:

LG: Right. [Laughs] I finally tried it in 1972 or ’73, sometime around when Danny did it for the first time. You know I remember the day very well because in testimony at that time, I was very often not always asked, “Have you ever used marijuana?” I was able to say no, but then there was one – in fact it was before this Massachusetts Legislative Committee and this very hostile Senator said to me, “Dr. Grinspoon, do you use marijuana? Have you ever used marijuana?” I said to him finally, “Look Senator, I’d be glad to answer that question, but first would you tell me if I answer affirmatively would that make my testimony more or less credible to you?” He got so pissed. He told me I was being impertinent and he stood up and walked out of the hearing. I came home and I said to Betsy, “You know, the time has come.... Let’s try it.” You know, every time we went to a party the Cambridge people would offer it to us and people would often say, “You mean to say you wrote a book on marijuana and you’ve never used it?”

GG: Hmm.

LG: I’d say, “Well I wrote a book on schizophrenia and I never tried that either.”

thanks smot. been wondering about marinol and sativex

Properly Vaporizing mj sounds like some of the most affordable, safest and effective medicine out there imo.
