Description

The only criticism I have for this book is that it has a lot of mention of Britain and it's policies but it also shows how to start the change from within very conservative minds whom have deemed all drugs to be problematic and punishable.

Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice. Nutt attempts to answer the question that cannabis became illegal not through science, but through politics, the media and society. Professor Nutt is much more interested in the medical uses and the harm that is being done to many UK citizens through the establishment's over-cautious approach. Readers will delight in the historical as well as the scientific focus brought to life by Grinspoon, whose roots and professional experience provide a unique and fascinating perspective. David broadcasts widely to the general public both on radio and television including BBC science and public affairs programmes on therapeutic as well as illicit drugs, their harms and their classification.Well, Nutt takes us through all the evidence and though there are a few reports that say that people who are prone to schizophrenia do take cannabis – they also take alcohol and smoke cigarettes. And yet people are taking more drugs than at any other time in history and traffickers and drug pushers want this war to continue because they are making trillions of dollars. Biography: David Nutt is Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology and director of the Neuropsychopharmacology Unit in the Division of Brain Sciences at Imperial College, London. Nutt was sacked in 2009, when as a government adviser on drugs he stated that ecstasy was no more dangerous than horse riding. The legalisation of cannabis around the world offers a real-world experiment to assess cannabis’s risks and benefits – and it suggests that the risks have been exaggerated, says Professor Nutt.

He regularly appears as an expert on national television and radio programs, including NPR's All Things Considered, NBC Nightly News, C-SPAN's Washington Journal, Fox and Friends and Fox News. Isn’t it strange that the fear mongering about cannabis and mental illness led to stronger forms of cannabis - but not a surprise. He includes a number of illustrative real life stories, some of which would make you grind your teeth with frustration at the suffering that is not being prevented by this over-caution. Sadly, we are surrounded by politicians in the Daily Mail and similar newspapers speaking utter nonsense and causing significant harm with their emotional stories and blinded to clear evidence that shows we need to be using this as a treatment.The figures are too small and fairly difficult to read, but overall this is clear, well argued and easy to read. And yet none of this would have happened if it wasn't for illegal cocaine being brought internationally.
