Join us for the launch of Penn palliative care physician Dr. David Casarett's new book 'Stoned: A Doctor's Case for Medical Marijuana' followed by an exciting panel debate featuring pro- and anti- medical marijuana advocates.
In 'Stoned', Dr. David Casarett sets out to find evidence of marijuana's medical potential. He smears mysterious marijuana paste on his legs and samples pot wine. He poses as a patient at a seedy California clinic and takes lessons from an artisanal hash maker. In conversations with researchers, doctors, and patients around the world he learns how marijuana works and doesn't in the real world.
Often humorous, occasionally heartbreaking, and full of counterintuitive conclusions, Stoned offers a compassionate and much-needed medical practitioner's perspective on the potential of this misunderstood plant.
