Doctor Sanjay Gupta Publicly Apologizes For Being SO WRONG About Medical Marijuana

Julian Buchanan's curator insight, August 8, 2013 7:28 AM

He acknowledges he was 'terribly and horribly wrong' well worth listening to.

KoWT's comment, August 13, 2013 1:06 PM
He still despises those who smoke marijuana for fun. So he's willing, nay eager, to treat it as a legitimate medical treatment for the ill, if only because that allows for continued hatred of those who like to smoke weed for social fun in much the same way that our culture allows for alcohol consumption. Weed is truly as medicinal as alcohol was said to be at the end of prohibition. That being: not very. Alcohol prohibitionists ran this same tactic as prohibition was floundering in the polls. It is but a holding action for the authoritarians.

Joshua Blaugh's comment, August 13, 2013 1:38 AM
CBD, cannabidiol, is in both marijuana and hemp (also cannabis).

Time to take marijuana away from the cartels and regulate this substance! Youth use goes down when prohibition is lifted and taxes can help this economy.

How to invest in this economy or get the benefits of cannabis no matter where you live?

Follow this:

Hemp is legal to possess in ALL 50 states.

Legal states for all cannabis (legal thc containing cannabis) are noticing that half of all sales are for edibles and extracts!

The premier company in the legal state of Colorado is Dixie Botanicals and DIxie Elixers, two companies owned by MJNA.

MJNA is the alpha source of CBD from legal hemp through their other company RSHO (Phytosphere)!

MJNA, a stock traded on the stock market is about to rocket up!

As well for those that want CBD they can order it from ANY state legally from MJNA (phytosphere) or from Dixie Botanicals!

Invest in the "Green Rush"! MJNA is the ALPHA company to invest in! Investing in MJNA is investing in America! Help the sick and take cannabis away from the overseas cartels by investing in MJNA!
