April 26, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT

Donation

Join us April 26th at 6pmEST for a powerful conversation with Cannabis specialist and Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School Peter Grinspoon about his new book “Seeing through the smoke”.

Moving through an illuminating tour of the social history and the medical science behind cannabis, Grinspoon unpacks the layers of disinformation left by a sordid history of government propaganda, racial suppression, and indifference from the medical community to answer questions like:

* Is cannabis addictive?
* What are its best-established medical uses?
* Can cannabis help cure cancer?
* How does cannabis affect memory?
* How dangerous is cannabis for teens?
* Is cannabis a safer treatment for ADHD and PTSD?
* What exactly is CBD and how is it different from marijuana?
* What are the most concerning side effects?

Seeing Through the Smoke will help patients, parents, doctors, health experts, regulators, and politicians move beyond biased perceptions and arrive at a shared reality towards cannabis.

If you are a student or faculty member of a medical school program this event is for you!
