I have worked for more than a decade on my Weed docuseries. And focusing on women felt overdue. Women are now outpacing men when it comes to the use of cannabis, particularly women between the ages of 45-60. It has been a fascinating evolution. I never would have been able to predict where this journey would take me or how many facets of medical marijuana are still left to explore. Go to the link in bio to read about the inspiration for our latest installment, and make sure you watch “Weed 8: Women and Weed” tonight at 8pET on CNN.

[Dr. Sanjay Gupta @drsanjaygupta]

Why are women now outpacing men when it comes to the use of cannabis? I answered your top questions about women and cannabis. And you can learn even more by watching my new special, “Weed 8: Women and Weed,” this Sunday, April 19, at 8pET.

There are 30 NFL stadiums: Half use turf, half grass. This weekend, the decision was made to play the Super Bowl on grass. From a medical standpoint, this has become one of the more provocative issues in sports. I sat down with the chief medical officer of the NFL to understand why it matters.

Suffering isn’t just something to endure.

It’s a teacher that shapes us…as I discovered through endless miles on the bike and my fight for survival.

I’m loving this new book by @drsanjaygupta.

It Doesn’t Have to Hurt is as much about resilience as it is about pain.

This book isn’t about giving in—it’s about rising above.

It’s already a bestseller, and for good reason. It’s a must-read for warriors in any arena.
