Dr. Peter Grinspoon Interview Episode 672

As cannabis policy and science evolve, so too does the conversation around how it fits into modern medicine—especially for older adults. In this episode, I'm joined by addiction specialist and Harvard Medical School instructor Peter Grinspoon to discuss his book Aging Well with Cannabis: Feel Better, Sleep Better and Live Better with Marijuana and CBD. With cannabis now legalized in much of the United States, many older adults are exploring it as an alternative or complement to traditional pharmaceuticals for issues like chronic pain, insomnia, and anxiety. Dr. Grinspoon brings a medical, evidence-based lens to a rapidly changing landscape—one shaped by science, policy, and patient experience. This conversation explores aging, wellness, risk, benefit, and what responsible cannabis use looks like in real clinical practice.
