CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Reversing His Medical Marijuana Stance

Taken from JRE #1718 w/Dr. Sanjay Gupta:

[marcusowen]

Sanjay was very two-faced. He appeared on CNN right after this interview on the show of the woman who defamed Joe about the horse dewormer. They played selective clips that made Rogan out to be a thoughtless joker. Gupta said to Joe that he enjoyed the conversation and likes how Rogan thinks, but gave a very different impression when he went live on CNN. Very self-serving appearance it seems, to sell a few books. The entire conversation with Joe was great though, especially when Joe confronts Sanjay about his employer (CNN) being total liars.

I have used marijuana for my Crohn’s disease and I have been in remission for 30 years without one pill !!

Shouldve been an indicator of how quickly he'd reverse his stance on everything he agreed with Joe on during this podcast as soon as he went back to his corporate masters at CNN

[iAmThatGuyJohn]

I love how Joe used the Marijuana discussion to lay out the playing field for the Covid discussion. Lies, Propaganda, Bias, the money... I saw exactly what he was setting up for

[renhope]

The way Gupta talks about his anxiety over releasing his studies is wild and emblematic of the politicization of medicine. Here you have a doctor, ostensibly doing good research into the medical benefits of a substance, and he still felt that there was a chance he could lose his job by revealing his findings. This goes way beyond marijuana, politics is controlling the way we are allowed to think about medicine.

I am a combat veteran and self medicate daily. It's been a blessing for chronic pain, sleep, and PTSD. I took the combat cocktail from the veterans hospital for years before I was enlightened to the benefits of cannabis. Great podcast 👍

I love how Joe complimented him and really talked up the fact that he reversed his stance on marijuana and didn’t double down, then confronted him about him and his network lying about horse dewormer. Thus making it harder for him to deny and double down on the lie. I don’t Know if this was planned but pretty smart.

[blackmanwithcomputer]

The sad thing is that, after this compliment, Sanjay went live on CNN and basically spun the whole interview as mental gymnastics. Proving that Joe had too much faith in his character.

[ElevatedStateofSelf]

If Sanjay starts his own dispensary he can sell pre rolls called SanJAYs. Thank me later Gupta.

[natej]

The fact that scientists, Researchers, and doctors are afraid to tell the truth or report the truth bc they don't know how it will be received and may lose their jobs is nuts. We should prolly change that going forward

I suffer from schizophrenia, and without marijuana the audible noises are debilitating. I've been a lab rat for years before finding a med that worked in me, sadly with sever side affects. With marijuana the noises or screaming is at a manageable level, to where I can control or concentrate properly. It's been a long journey to get to this point. 51yrs now and after spending half my life searching for something normal (no sever side effects), I thank our earth for this gift. Love your shit Joe.

It’s such a shame that we have to depend on Joe Rogan and others to hold medical doctors accountable.

We cannot claim to be a serious society when we celebrate alcohol, one of the most destructive drugs the world has seen, all the while debating whether a fucking plant like cannabis, mushrooms, and other amazing psychedelics should be allowed.
Also, I cannot stress this enough. If you were a law enforcement officer of any kind, and you arrested people for weed, or sentenced people for weed, you should be forbidden from opening up a dispensary now.

[vitaly]

I don’t care that marijuana has a medical benefit for certain conditions, although that is quite important. It’s many multiples safer than alcohol and tobacco, which kill about a million people annually and cause many more accidents, chronic health conditions, and cost trillions of dollars.

It should be legal for recreational use, and I am saying this as someone who does not use it.

[binklesworthington]

I love how these “experts” are just now in 2021 admitting that weed has medicinal benefits. You can read 400 scientific papers but that doesn’t mean you have any common sense.

[maesterwillyofthehouseofboink]

As I see it, he was more, JR got him cornered in true MMA style, so he started spilling the beans in order to save his skin as his mind told him he was in mortal danger. Fight or flight wasn't an option and neither was freezing live on air, so he opened up as any good fear induced citizen would. That he later retracted his claims isn't that much of a surprise seen the corporate talking head he is, but it did open up a lot of sleepy eyes that didn't noticed before how CNN and other MSM has been playing their mind magick on their viewers. This was a very niceand clean uppercut straight into these liars faces (as a matter of speech of course, according to YT guidelines - at least I hope).

When I was going through depression I legit hadn't smiled in years, near the end of it I had stopped eating. I went from 160lbs at 5'10" to 140 over the course of about 2 months. Not only did I smile and then actually laugh while on medical Marijuana, I had an appetite again and ate. I know it's a single case, I know it's anecdotal, but it worked for me.

[jollypasquale]

In other words, Gupta blazin up now 👀💯

[Theaddman]

I respect a man who can change his opinion . My granddad used to say a wise man changes his mind a fool never does.

Prescription drugs with pages of side effects, perfectly legal and advertised... Its about time the country was given the choice
