During the past few months we am have two For human pharmacology, the names are Don Jasinshi and Harris Isbell, Leo Hollister, Reese Jones and Roger Meyer. Ishell and Jasinski have done the best work, published, and may not have new data. Jasinski is a younger worker with much enthusiasm and a reasonably good speaker. Hollister is more flamboyant, has done more varied studies, usually with less controls. Jones is less experienced, and has done a few studies with limited control data. Roger but is enthusiastic and knows the data. Meyer is the least experienced, For animal pharmacology of cannabis and THC, Louis Harris, Edward Truitt and Constantine Mtras come to mind. Truitt is smooth, efficient and very opinionated. He has unusual data. Harris is a good speaker, excellent pharmacologiat and widely experienced. He has done extensive studies in the narcotic antagonists. Hires (Greece), is a very flamboyant, egocentric, hypomanic experimenter. He grows his own plants: extracts; radiates; and does extensive pharmacology and toxicology, mostly uncontrolled. For chemistry, the names are fiechoulam, Korte (Germany) and Mirna (Greece).
