Clearing The Smoke : The Science Of Cannabis Documentary

Montana PBS Presents, "Clearing the Smoke", a documentary film which reveals how Cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer.

Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis. Even though the video has an American perspective, marijuana use is illegal throughout many countries of the world for reasons that are not clear.


This video is important because it mainly investigates the scientific basis underlying the medical benefits of marijuana use instead of focusing on the social, political and legal hysteria that have been attached to it.

The paper mentioned in this video, Marihuana Reconsidered, was published in book form. The author, Dr Lester Grinspoon, is the world's leading authority on marijuana. In this book, Dr Grinspoon examines — and debunks — many of the common misconceptions about marijuana.

  1. I thought this was one of the best cannabis documentaries I have seen yet. Very compelling! I really feel for all those still suffering due to the illegality of the herb.

  2. Hey, I really like your blog-- I haven't read all of it yet, but I will certainly be reading more.

    You cover a lot of the same topics that I do in my blog, but obviously from a different perspective-- would you think about writing a guest post for me? E-mail me at furthurxfuture@gmail.com if you'd like to discuss this more. ^.^

    Thanks!
