Waiting to Inhale: The Bizarre History & Ethics of Medical Marijuana

The history of marijuana in the United States is a story of politics, racial discrimination, and subterfuge. From being one of the most trusted medicines in the U.S. formulary to being scheduled as a class I drug without medical benefit and high addiction potential, misinformation and fear have surrounded this plant. With many states adopting legalized medical and recreational marijuana, there is a call to remove obstacles to research, to reform draconian laws, and to re-think our social and medical relationship to the whacky weed.
