The Medical Side of Cannabis with Dr. Peter Grinspoon

Choose Your Struggle

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.

Peter Grinspoon, M.D. is a primary care physician and cannabis specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital, an Instructor at Harvard Medical School and a certified Health and Wellness Coach. He is a Contributing Editor to Harvard Health Publications as well as a TEDx Speaker. He is the author of the memoir ‘Free Refills: A Doctor Confronts His Addiction’. He is a board member of the advocacy group Doctors For Cannabis Regulation. He is a former Associate Director of the Massachusetts Physician Health Service helping physicians with addiction and mental health issues.
