In fact from 1995 to 2019, people between the ages of 16 and 59 have gone from 23% of the population to just under 32% of the population who have tried it.
Following in the family tradition - Grinspoon's father Lester wrote two seminal books on marijuana - Seeing Through the Smoke can help heal the scars left by the government’s failed war on cannabis. This dissonance confuses young people, distressed patients, and paralyzes politicians, all while inviting dubious sources of information and resulting in uninformed choices, enhanced polarization, and a fragmented national policy. In this lively, witty, and deeply personal book, Grinspoon takes readers on a fascinating tour of everything you ever wanted to know about the benefits of cannabis—especially what it can do to ameliorate suffering and enhance human potential—while always remaining grounded in the scientific evidence.Much needed mythbusting regarding the schizophrenia link (old and misleading study, large increase in use not followed by population wide increase in schizophrenia). But, he makes a convincing case for the almost complete failure of New Labour to take effective, progressive action on drugs.

OTHER NARCOTICS AND CANNABIS: The truth is that under the influence of alcohol, 1000’s of people die every year, become violent, aggressive, have fights, ruin their liver, wreck other people's lives through acts of violence or car crashes. This statement was corrected – in fact if you had some peanuts in one hand and an ecstasy tablet in the other, the peanuts carry far greater risk of harm and death than an ecstasy tablet.

Seeing through the Smoke has something for everyone – from the novice to the expert and everyone in between with an interest in cannabis.
People with psychiatric disease may ‘self-medicate’ with legal and illicit drugs, for example, but Professor Nutt says that studies have now shown a direct link. After completing his medical training at Guy's Hospital London, continuing in neurology to MRCP, he went on to his psychiatric training in Oxford, he continued there as a lecturer and then later as a Wellcome Senior Fellow in psychiatry. Nutt was sacked in 2009, when as a government adviser on drugs he stated that ecstasy was no more dangerous than horse riding.People who need insulin for diabetes are not addicts even though they are dependent on the medicine to stay well,” says Professor Nutt.
