In early 2009  neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta said he “would vote no on pot.”  Dr. Gupta’s dismissal of medical marijuana was eye-opening because, as I noted, he was“brilliant, telegenic, a neurosurgeon, had huge recognition and an is excellent communicator.” Now, lets forward 4 1/2 years and Sanjay Gupta’s views have come around 180 degrees. Incredibly, he now says, “Well, I am here to apologize. I mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Agency, DEA, listed marijuana as a schedule 1 substance because of sound scientific proof.”

Sanjay now knows, after long investigation, that “We have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that.”  He pretty much calls out the DEA as the liars that they are.  One may question why such a brilliant man could have ever believed DEA lies, but the important thing now is that he knows better, and is communicating the truth in a CNN documentary. It would have been more appropriately called a documentary on Cannabis, rather than Weed,  the term preferred by cops. But for now, truth wins out as Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks out.

As far as the creditably of Dr. Gupta, it should be mentioned that he was appointed as the “Surgeon General of the United States” but declined the offer.

I have had a chance to view Sanjay’s full video report as it appeared on CNN which is available HERE. You will learn the current studies that are present pertaining to the healing properties of CBD (cannabidiol) which will astound you as it did me in learning there is more to it than just “getting high”. So set aside some time to watch this 40 minute video!

As a Natural Healthcare Provider for over 30 yrs., I was Shocked to view what I thought, along with most of you, that Cannabis/marijuana was only good for that “euphoric high”… Wow was I amazed to see what’s been uncovered in this CNN Documentary; as most of you know I am very well grounded in my belief of the natural approach to healthcare… But this Herb known as Hemp has made me think!
