Sanjay Gupta on ‘Weed 3’: Obama Is Pulling for Pot

“This is the first time I’ve heard him be more substantive about what he would change,” CNN host says about president wanting to legalize medicinal marijuana

Dr. Sanjay Gupta premieres “Weed 3” on CNN Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, and in the third rendition of his weed documentary series, he’s even more pronounced in believing it’s time to legalize marijuana nationwide.

The documentary looks at the growing number of positive stories of marijuana helping Americans, including U.S. military veterans suffering from PTSD, depression and sleep disorders.

One particular benefit Gupta and experts he spoke to saw for veterans was the limit of dream recall, which can be particularly beneficial for those who have grizzly memories flooding them during sleep.

“On its own merits, this is a substance out there that could address significant problems in this country,” Gupta told TheWrap.
