It was a beautiful Saturday morning in early June in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, where we were heading from the CED Clinic to Revolutionary Clinics, a medical marijuana dispensary, in nearby Somerville. On the way, we passed a recreational marijuana dispensary — pointed out to us by our guide, Benjamin Caplan, M.D., founder of the CED Clinic. Caplan is a family medicine doctor who sees patients at his clinic and is an expert on medical marijuana. Also guiding us on the tour: Peter Grinspoon, M.D., a primary care physician with Massachusetts General Hospital who advocates for marijuana legalization and is the author of the memoir, Free Refills: A Doctor Confronts His Addiction .
