The 1997 Medical Controversy over the Legalization of Marihuana for Medicine

Abstract

In November of 1997, following a well financed media campaign, two referenda in Arizona and California were approved, giving a legal status to marihuana for medicine. At that occasion, conflicting positions were formulated by two groups of physicians. One group supported the legal use of marihuana for medicine in smoked or orally administered form, the other objected to the use of smoked marihuana. Their detailed opinions follow: that of Dr. J.P. Kassirer, editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, and that of Gabriel Nahas, Kenneth Sutin, William Manger, and George Hyman who expressed their views in the Wall Street Journal.
