At this point in her life, Carson was fortunate enough to find a more lucrative position, as a science writer at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. Her job there was to prepare radio scripts and to edit a variety of government publications dealing with fisheries. She was also able to do some freelance writing on the side and, in 1937, published her first major article, "Undersea," in the Atlantic Monthly magazine. 

The article attracted the attention of an editor at Simon Schuster, a major book publisher, who encouraged Carson to write a book on the topic of her Atlantic Monthly artide. Carson did so, and the book. Under theSea Wind, appeared in 1941. Unfortunately, the book was published Just as World War II was beginning, and it was never a commercial success. In 1945, Carson wrote to the popular magazine Reader s Digest proposing an article about the possible risks posed by DDT. The magazine rejected her idea, but she never completely forgot about the problem.

Marijuana was first mentioned as a medicine in an American medical text in 1843 and in 1854 was listed in the U.S. Dispensatory. The latter year also marked the first written description by Bayard Taylor in The Atlantic Monthly of cannabis intoxication. In the 1850s, recommended medical uses for marijuana included the treatment of gout, rheumatism, tetanus, opiate and alcohol withdrawal, loss of appetite, dysmenorrhea, convulsions, depression, insanity, and asthma. Although its suggested uses were widespread, marijuana never actually achieved popular use in the medical community. The reasons for this include variations in potency of commercial preparations, variability in patients responses, slow onset of oral action, and lack of solubility preventing administration by injection. However, the drug was included in many patent medicine preparations and was officially recognized as a medicine in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia until 1937. In 1937 there were 28 pharmaceuticals that contained cannabis.
