Dr. Sanjay Gupta "doubles down" on medical marijuana

Since Dr. Sanjay Gupta first announced his support for medical marijuana last summer, several states legalized it and opened dispensaries. Colorado and Washington even passed laws decriminalizing recreational pot use. But still, many families are trapped in the middle of the medical marijuana debate. Dr. Gupta talks to Anderson about his latest documentary 'Weed 2: Cannabis Madness.'

    Re HEMP, 3/21/14:
    The reason hemp is a Schedule I CS, for the DEA to poop on is it is a renewable resource, which is CO2-neutral, in combustible applications.

    Henry Ford and Rudolf Diesel advocated hemp, as the plant source, for ethanol fuel, for which Diesel designed his engines. Ford was using hemp plastic, as early as 1914, in the Model T, and check YouTube, for a 1941 hemp plastic auto-body, which is seen, being sledged. Can't do that, to a Corvette, can you!

    10,000 market-leading products AND BUDS can't be wrong, but soft. FDR decried the corporate money, in US politics, in 1936, right as Pop Sci published a story, about a hemp corticator, which would make hemp the great, renewable resource media, sought by the entire world.

    But Hearst and his timber and Standard and their oil and Andrew Mellon and his coal and his brother-in-law HARRY ANSLINGER and all their dirty money would not be denied, so the Democratic Congress of 1937-1938 passed the Hemp Stamp Tax Act of 1938, in 15 minutes, to be instantly signed, by drunk, corrupt FDR, who then moved the Pacific Fleet, from San Diego, scuttled Pearl Harbor's alert capacity and strangled all intel, and then he embargoed Japan and froze asssets, to bait the IJN, to attack Pearl, which happened, and then FDR signed G.O. 9066, to inter Japanese Americans and TAKE THEIR PROPERTY.

    So don't get me going, about LBJ, Nixon, Bushes, Clinton, or that Obamney clown, thank you.

    But do see BLACK SAILS and get a clue. That guy, Captain Chuckie is a take-off, on former VP Richard Cheney, no doubt.

    Why is it that you have to place your hand on a bible to tell the whole truth in court, when that same court puts people away for life for being caught with the same ingredient Jesus used in his anointing oil? We all know that is cannabis (Exodus 30:22-31) And why do Christians have a hate for this when it has been used by Jesus and has so many healing components. Just being curious...

    Dr. Gupta-thanks for having what it takes to focus much needed attention on the very real possibility that cannabis -heaven forbid-can cure a number of human conditions.
    You know as well as I do the only reason cannabis has been so closely controlled for the last 80 years here in the US is because the pharmaceuticals and their midget stepchild, the FDA, have been trying to protect their bottom line profits-something akin to the extermination of the Jews in Germany during WWII.
    Who would have ever thought humans would again be willing to take lives-this time for the safe of profit!

    Re: Sanjay Gupta – Marijuana.
    On Sept. 9, 2008, Henry Fountain published a brief article in The New York Times titled "Marijuana Ingredient May Fight Bacteria." Briefly, the article stated that marijuana may provide potential for another line of antibiotics, which would be welcomed at this time because of the appearance of antibiotic-resistant organisms.
    I haven't heard anything more about this subject. Has anyone else?
