Up close look at MMJ w/ CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Dr. Sanjay Gupta is an American neurosurgeon and an assistant professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine and associate chief of the neurosurgery service at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

A media personality on health-related issues, he is best known as CNN's multiple Emmy award winning chief medical correspondent, hosting the network's weekend health program Sanjay Gupta, M.D.

Not many people would assume he is an advocate for MMJ. Gupta had previously criticized laws that allowed medical marijuana. In a 2013 editorial, he announced that in the process of working on a documentary about marijuana, he had changed his mind regarding the drug's risks and benefits. "We have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that."

It's fair to say, he has the ability to absorb the new science with his distinct medical background. After traveling the world, meeting people with first-hand experiences and doctors in countries who have known the medicinal values for decades, he changed his mindset. He became educated, as is our goal to educate Seniors.
