MARIJUANA as "enhancer" is at the centre of a new book that is being put together by the worldwide famous Professor Lester Grinspoon, psychiatrist at the Harvard University. We are all invited to contribute with personal experiences.
Professor Grinspoon's interest in the herb goes back to the 1967 and since then he has published books on the subject, such as "Marihuana Reconsidered" 1971 Harvard University Press and "Marihuana. the Forbidden Medicine" 1993, Yale University Press.
Here your chance to have your say and help in the process of marijuana rehabilitation by contributing to the writing of "The Uses of Marijuana", an Anthology follow this link
You'll also find a link to e-mail any questions to him. I did and he was back to me within 24 hours. Long live the MAN!

Good call (again) Echo!
I've mailed the dude to let him know I'm behind him, and will spend some time going through the articles there before deciding where I can make the most telling contribution.
It was due to a book he co-wrote that my parents came, late, to support my journey into exile, despite being decorated former police officers.
Perhaps we could even think about putting together an 'official' THC-Ministry essay, from the experiences of all our members? |

The man is as good as his word - less than 3 hours for a reply!
Guess who will be burnin' the midnight oil for the next few weeks on this!

Dear Mr. Mason,
Thank you for your e-mail and its introduction to your web sites, all of which
I found quite interesting. I do hope that you will find the time to write an
essay for submission to the Uses of Marijuana Web Site
(www.marijuana-uses.com). I should think that it would be be easier for you
than for other people to submit an essay because you have already written on
the topic. You mention "cannabis and counseling"; I believe that no one has
approached that topic so far and I would encourage you to include it in your
essay.
I look forward to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
Lester Grinspoon MD

Good HIT GanjaCat!
You'll be one of the contributing authors, it seems 
I'll get the first copy out on the market!
I'll write something myself, if I find the inspiration at the right time.
It's time to smoke some more!

I started a piece on "Cannabis & Cousselling" but the last month has seen me too tied up in learning new stuff & building Sara's site www.sarashouse.tk that I haven't done any more work on it yet.
Oh, for a 30 hour-day & a ten day week! |
