In America of the sixties the marijuana began to be very popular among young people and the authorities, alarmed, had already started the propaganda on its harmfulness, arriving to argue that the Spinel led to madness. So it was that, stimulated by the interests of the institutions, Lester Grinspoon, then young psychiatrist and now professor at the University of Harvard, thought to check the existing literature on the danger of hemp. The results of the research were decidedly unexpected: on the alleged harmfulness of the properties of the psicofarmacologiche cannabis had insufficient evidence, at least not as many as they had the legal and social consequences of its consumption. Grinspoon therefore wrote an article quite different from what he had planned, that was published in '68 on the International Journal of Psichiatry and as the editorial in 1969 on Scientific American. This publication was followed by others, nourished, beyond that from the medical literature and scientific, from French Romanticism. From the works of Theophilus Gautier, Charles Baudelaire and other members of the Club of Haschischins so was born in 1971 Marijuana Reconsidered (reconsider marijuana), and two years later, written together with James Bakalar Marijuana, the forbidden Medicine (Marijuana, medicine prohibited Muzio Publisher 1995), in which it supports the thesis of the therapeutic utility of hemp with a wide collection of clinical cases.

Currently in the United States only six patients can legally use cannabis. Are the veterans of a group of forty sick inserted in the Individual Treatment Investigational New Drug Program, also called Compassionate Ind., interrupted in 1992. The program, which he contemplated the possibility to prescribe cannabis to patients whose doctors were prepared to follow particular procedures, was launched in 1976 by the federal government in replacement of research programs undertaken in many Member (with the permission of the federal government, seen that the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act 1970 places the cannabis in the table more restrictive) to allow patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer to use hemp. Last September Grinspoon took part in the conference on "therapeutic hemp: science and law", organised in Rome by Forum drugs, and on that occasion to know interviewed him. Professor Grinspoon, what is true on the therapeutic properties of hemp? "It was used as a medicine for thousands of years. The first testimony dates back to 5,000 years ago, in one written of the reign of the Emperor China Chen Nun, that the recommended for malaria and rheumatic pains. When I made my first study, in 1967, I found about one hundred paper on therapeutic uses of cannabis in western medicine between 1840 and 1900. Was indicated as stimulating appetite, muscle relaxant, analgesic, sedative, anticonvulsant and to treat the dependence from opium. He was a professor at the faculty of medicine of Calcutta, William Brooke O'Shaughnessy, the first Western physician to notice of its curative properties. In the first half of the Nineteenth Century, after it has been tested on animals, began to use it with hydrophobic patients, or suffering from rheumatism, epilepsy or infected with tetanus. The decline of its medical use are recorded already from 1890, with the discovery of aspirin and then of chloral hydrate and barbiturates. The lack of interest for the study of the analgesic properties is instead linked to the diffusion of the opiates and the invention of the hypodermic syringe that has allowed the administration of analgesics quick action intravenously. In 1941, finally, an indirect consequence of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, cannabis was excluded from the United States Pharmacopoeia. Personally, the stories of many clinical cases have convinced me that this is a miraculous substance to the equal of the penicillin of the XXI century. Works in alleviating the symptoms of chemotherapy against cancer, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, glaucoma, AIDS and depression, in addition to the symptoms of diseases less common as Crohn's disease, diabetic gastroparesis and disorders from post-traumatic stress". It is mostly anecdotal evidence, however, not recognized in full by the scientific world… "It is true, there are no research with control groups and double-blind to know the percentage of cases in which marijuana can be effective for a certain degree of disturbance. But in my opinion not serve studies so costly. Its use is based on the reports of individual cases would be a problem if cannabis was dangerous. But the research carried out in all these years have demonstrated that it is more secure than most prescription drugs, has fewer side effects and creates much less dependence of other substances in use today. I am not sure that for demonstrating the efficacy and harmlessness agree to apply the protocol of the Food and Drug Administration. In general, in fact, pharmaceutical companies to see approved their products must submit them to a risk analysis- Benefits: a very expensive operation that companies argue only if they can fall of expenditure over the twenty years of duration of the patent. But no company is concerned to conduct research on a plant that cannot be patented. 
And then, I wonder, why spend money to understand at the end what we already know? Having regard to the low risks linked to the medical use of hemp, should be made Other important uses of cannabis are related both to agricultural practice that the technology of materials with ecological perspective useful and interesting.
