“CNN contributor Dr. Sanjay Gupta followed up on his reversal of course regarding medical marijuana in an interview with Anderson Cooper on Tuesday by slamming federal policy regarding medical marijuana. ‘The U.S. holds a patent [on marijuana] on one hand, and on the other hand, same government says it has no medical applications,’ Gupta told Cooper. ‘Journalists are trained to hate hypocrisy. This is hypocrisy. I’ve never seen it quite like this.’ The Department of Health and Human Services, Gupta explained, holds a patent on medical marijuana as ‘a protectant for the brain’, giving voice to an argument made by medical marijuana proponents.”
