Dr. Lester Grinspoon is Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School . He is widely known as the author and co-author of several cannabis/psychedelic-related books, including  Marihuana Reconsidered ,  Psychedelic Drugs Reconsidered , Marijuana: The Forbidden Medicine and  Psychedelic Reflections . The first two were published during the 1970s, when it appeared cannabis was well on its way to nationwide decriminalization in the United States.  Marijuana: The Forbidden Medicine was published in 1993.
