Høringssvar

Undertegnede vil hermed gerne henvise politikere samt eksperter til Doktor Hr. Lester Grinspoon MD, som er universitetslektor og professor i psykiatri ved Harvard Medical School. Han har studeret cannabis siden 1967 og har publiceret to bøger om Emnet “Marihuana Reconsidered” (Harvard University Press, 1971) og “Marihuana, the Forbidden Medicine” i samarbejde med James B. Bakalar (Yale University Press, 1993). Desuden har han skrevet en del artikler, som bør studeres nøje af de politikere, de embedsmænd, de forskere og vores danske professorer og andre inden for psykiatrien, som indgår i denne høring. Dertil har han oprettet og bestyrer to aktive websites : The Medical Marijuana website (www.Rxmarijuana.com) samt The Uses of Marijuana website (www.marijuana-uses.com) ”Served for 40 years as Senior Psychiatrist at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center in Boston. A Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Psychiatric Association, he was the founding editor of both the Annual Review of Psychiatry and the Harvard Mental Health Letter. He is the author or co-author of over 160 journal articles or chapters and 12 books. A major area of interest has been "illicit" drugs. In 1990 he won the Alfred R. Lindesmith Award of the Drug Policy Foundation for "achievement in the field of drug scholarship." His first book, Marihuana Reconsidered, originally published in 1971 by Harvard University Press, was recently republished as a classic. His latest book, Marihuana, the Forbidden Medicine, co-authored with James B. Bakalar, was published by Yale University Press in 1993 (revised and expanded edition, 1997) and has now been translated into ten languages.” * http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/pressroom/lester_grinspoon.htm * http://www.marijuana-uses.com/essays/001.html * http://www.rxmarihuana.com/articles.htm * http://rabble.ca/podcasts/shows/living-purpose/episode-127-lester-grinspoon-md Radio interview June 2008 Venligst Michael Nielsen
