 Dr. Peter Grinspoon is a Harvard Medical School physician, longtime writer and speaker, and the author of the new book  Aging Well with Cannabis: Feel Better, Sleep Better and Live Better with Marijuana and CBD,. But what makes him especially interesting is not just his work in medicine and public health — it’s his personal story. He is also in long-term recovery and often speaks very openly about addiction, rebuilding a life, finding purpose, and how our relationship with substances changes as we get older. His new book explores how many older adults are turning to cannabis for sleep, pain, anxiety, and quality of life, often as an alternative to alcohol, sleeping pills, and opioids. It opens up larger conversations about aging, health, addiction, stigma, and how people can live well in the second half of life. James Lott Jr has an amazing convo with him.The book is out on Amazon!
