When Weed Is The Cure: A Doctor's Case For Medical Marijuana


Recommended Posts

 

A year and a half ago, Dr. David Casarett did not take medical marijuana very seriously.
 
"When I first started this project, I really thought of medical marijuana as a joke," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross.
 

But then the palliative care specialist began to look seriously into the issue, and his mind began to change: "I've come to realize there really are medical benefits to medical marijuana. ... For many of the patients I spoke with, medical marijuana is not a joke. It's not funny. It's a treatment that they've come to rely on."

 

It's a long interview - 37 minutes - but you can check it out here.

 

(PS - cannabis content - which most folks here might find somewhat boring - ends at about 27 minutes, and then it's about end of life issues. )
