Season 3, Episode 3: The Medical Side of Cannabis with Dr. Peter Grinspoon
Dr. Peter Grinspoon saw from an early age that the way our country handled cannabis wasn't build on science or fact. Through watching his brother die of cancer, go through med school and struggle with his own issue of Addiction, Dr. Grinspoon never lost his desire to see cannabis handled in a safer and more fact-based way. Now an advocate for increased access to medical cannabis, Dr. Grinspoon is one of the leading voices in the medical cannabis environment.
