Sanjay Gupta

As an epidemic of a lethal airborne virus - that kills within days - rapidly grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself.

A documentary focused on infectious disease outbreaks.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta is an American neurosurgeon and a chief medical correspondent for CNN. If you remember, Dr. Gupta admitted he was all wrong about weed back in 2013. Nowadays he’s changed his mind and he’s ready for a marijuana revolution so that medical patients can receive the medicine they need.

"Weed 2: Cannabis Madness: Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports," premiering Tuesday, March 11 at 10 p.m. ET, looks at U.S. federal laws that consider marijuana a drug with no medicinal value and serious scientists who say they're wrong. It is the politics of pot - the politicians vs. the patients.

In the first documentary released by Dr. Gupta he focuses on the story of the Figi family and their daughter Charlotte. When Charlotte was only 3 months old she went into a violent seizure lasting around half an hour. Charlottes parents rushed her to the hospital where a full work up revealed nothing about her condition and within only a week she began to seize on a regular basis up to two hours at a time. Charlotte had been diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. When she turned 2 Charlotte had begun to seize hundreds of times in a single week and her cognitive function was rapidly declining. Charlotte finally found a treatment in the form of a special breed of marijuana plant that was low in THC while high in CBD. This has completely changed the Figi family’s life and Charlotte suffers from only one or two seizures every week or two which are much less severe than those she experienced prior to treatment.

Dr. Gupta explores the rise of "miracle drugs" like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro, which are reshaping weight loss and obesity treatment. He delves into their effects, side effects, and future uses, speaking with leading scientists like Dr. Jens Juul Holst and Dr. Dan Skovronsky. The special also shares personal stories from people using these drugs, highlighting their results and challenges.

More than six years ago, Dr. Sanjay Gupta set out to investigate the science behind medical marijuana. A year later WEED, the first documentary in the award-winning series aired on CNN with an accompanying op-ed penned by Gupta: “Why I Changed my Mind on Weed.” Now, his fifth documentary WEED 5: The CBD Craze, will premiere on Sunday, September 29th at 8pm ET/PT, with Gupta returning to Colorado where he started his journey and introduced viewers for the first time to the word few could even pronounce – Cannabidiol (CBD).
