«Marihuana: La medicina prohibida» is the essay by Lester Grinspoon and James B. Bakalar, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The authors analyse the medicinal virtues of marijuana and the origins of its prohibition. Testimonies from patients with cancer, epilepsy, AIDS or depression show their difficulties in obtaining it legally. They defend its full legalisation and criticise that only twelve patients had authorised access in the United States.
Published in 1997, it is volume 1 of the Transiciones collection and includes a prologue by José María Mendiluce.
Recommended for readers interested in the history, medicinal uses of marijuana and the debate on its legalisation.
