I have been watching and waiting for the reactions to come out about Dr Sanjay Gupta's apology about medicinal marijuana, today I was lucky enough to come upon this one:
Montel Williams on Sanjay Gupta's groundbreaking research: "I'd hug this guy and kiss this guy because [it's] what we've been waiting for in this entire movement"Last week
Dr. Sanjay Gupta spoke with Piers Morgan about his CNN documentary “Weed,” in which he investigates the pros and cons of medical marijuana. In the one-hour special, the network's chief medical expert not only took an objective look at the substance, but even admitted that he has changed his mind, allowing that marijuana may in fact have medicinal benefits. Tonight, he was joined by perennial "Piers Morgan Live" guest Montel Williams. Williams has previously spoken on the show about his debilitating disease and, this time, brought to the floor his own experiences with medical marijuana.
Williams couldn't be more grateful for Gupta's year-long research into marijuana and its effects on the human body:
"I'd hug this guy and kiss this guy because what we've been waiting for in this entire movement, about medical marijuana" Williams exclaimed. "I'm not talking about the movement to legalize marijuana, that's not what I'm involved in at all."
My belief in the use of medical marijuana use grows with each of these reports I find.
Over the past week since Gupta's documentary "Weeds" was released, he's been stressing the medical benefits of marijuana and not straying into recreational use. The doctor has been heavily criticized for his new stance on marijuana:
"I think the criticism often stems from this dichotomy that 'look if you do this, what about the kids?' I get it. I have kids. I understand that concern," Gupta explained. "But I don't think either Montel or I are saying this is something we would advocate for kids to taking. Look, if the trade off is because of the concern about kids, that patients will be denied therapy that works for them like Montel Williams and like hundreds and thousands of other patients out there, that's not something I think doctors or frankly any compassionate person should accept."
Watch the clip to see Williams and Gupta show off how the government has been supplying marijuana cigarettes to a few U.S. citizens for years, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.
Tonight there will be a small clip on also, which I will definitely watch.
The other night I had gotten up in the middle of the night to let my dogs out, when I let them back in, walked into the kitchen for their treats I crashed into the kitchen table taking out two chairs along the way. Both of my legs given out it is caused from the multiple surgeries. I suffer severe nerve damage, next thing I know my husband runs into the room and asks if I'm all right which I wasn't. I have a bruse on my shoulder that is the prettiest of colors, and have suffered with pain higher than 10 ever since.

“When it gets difficult is often right before you succeed.” Chris Garrett
In the waning moments of daylight,
police descended Friday on a shrouded boat in a Watertown backyard to
capture the suspected terrorist who had eluded their enormous dragnet
for a tumultuous day, ending a dark week in Boston that began with the
bombing of the world’s most prestigious road race.
The arrest of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of
Cambridge ended an unprecedented daylong siege of Greater Boston, after a
frantic night of violence that left one MIT police officer dead, an
MBTA Transit Police officer wounded, and an embattled public — rattled
again by the touch of terrorism — huddled inside homes.
Tsarnaev’s elder brother and alleged accomplice — 26-year-old
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the second suspect in Monday’s Boston Marathon attack
— was pronounced dead early Friday morning at Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center, after suffering shrapnel and bullet wounds in a
gunfight with police.
“It’s a proud day to be a Boston police officer,” Police Commissioner
Edward F. Davis told his force over the radio moments after the arrest.
“Thank you all.”
President Obama, addressing the nation from the White House, applauded Boston for not allowing the terrorists to prevail.
“They failed because the people of Boston refused to be intimidated,” the president said.
Friday will be remembered as the day the city stood still, after
Governor Deval Patrick asked the people of Boston and the nearby
communities of Watertown, Waltham, Newton, Belmont, and Cambridge to
“shelter in place” — stay inside, lock the door, and don’t open it for
anyone except police in uniform — while the younger Tsarnaev was on the
loose.
A city of some 625,000, in a metropolis of 2 million, screeched to a
halt. Heavily armed officers patrolled eerily empty streets that looked
like the set of an apocalyptic movie. The MBTA halted its trains,
buses, and subways. Taxi service was temporarily frozen. Amtrak stopped
service between Boston and Providence. Officials asked businesses across
the region not to open. The Red Sox and Bruins games were postponed.
And the campus of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a student, was evacuated and closed.
The day began with bomb blasts and gunshots on a street in Watertown,
where police said more than 200 rounds were fired in the battle.
While his brother was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced
dead, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev survived and escaped on foot. Local, state, and
federal law enforcement officers — including the Secret Service, K-9
teams, explosives experts, and SWAT officers — searched door to door
for the suspect throughout Friday. Police in helicopters scoured the
streetscape from above. More than 1,000 officers participated in the
hunt.
By 6 p.m., frustrated officials relaxed the rule and allowed
residents to leave their homes. The people of Watertown began to venture
outside.
But within an hour, the crack of gunshots again blasted through the
neighborhood. Sirens blared, and officers on foot scrambled down
Franklin Street.
Police found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding on a boat stored in a backyard
on Franklin Street. Police exchanged gunfire with him before
capturing him alive. Spontaneous celebrations erupted across the region,
from the Boston Common to the Back Bay streets near the bombing. The
boat’s owners, a couple, spent Friday hunkered down under the
stay-at-home order. When it was lifted early in the evening, they
ventured outside for some fresh air and the man noticed the tarp on his
boat blowing in the wind, according to their his son, Robert Duffy.
The cords securing it had been cut and there was blood near the
straps. Duffy’s father called police, who swarmed the yard and had the
couple evacuated, Duffy said.

The ambulance carrying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left the Franklin Street area.
Residents, who had barricaded themselves in their homes for nearly 20
hours, were still deeply shaken. “I’m so happy they got these guys,”
said Tom Sheridan, 35, an interior painter from Watertown, as he cheered
police cruisers and ambulances as they drove by on Mount Auburn
Street. “But I’m worried there are more people out there like that. It
won’t be the same.”
Tsarnaev was wounded and taken to a hospital. In an interview late
last night, Patrick said he is “hoping very deeply he survives those
wounds, because I’ve got a lot of questions and I know investigators
have a lot of questions for him.”
Investigators believe the Tsarnaev siblings, originally from the
former Soviet Republic of Kyrgyzstan, who came to the United States in
the early 2000s, are responsible for the attack on the Marathon on
Monday that killed three people and injured more than 170, many
grievously.
The FBI-led investigation of the atrocity took a sudden and shocking
turn Thursday afternoon after the FBI released photos and videos of the
alleged Marathon bombers and asked the public for help identifying them.
The images showed two young men casually lugging backpacks along
Boylston Street Monday, shortly before two bombs exploded near the
finish line.
Investigators said they believe the suspects carried crude but
powerful bombs made from household pressure cookers in their backpacks,
which they abandoned on the sidewalk.
Sean Collier, a 26-year-old MIT police officer, was killed in a late
night confrontation with the two suspects behind the deadly Boston
Marathon.
Upon release of the images, tips poured into the FBI. Within hours,
the brothers allegedly killed again, shooting Massachusetts Institute
of Technology police officer Sean Collier in his cruiser, near Vassar
and Main streets in Cambridge, at about 10:24 p.m. The 26-year-old
officer later died.
Police say the siblings carjacked a motorist minutes later on
Memorial Drive. They released the unidentified motorist in Cambridge
about 30 minutes later, police said. He was not hurt. Later that evening
— the timing is unclear — an MBTA police officer spotted the stolen
car, and a cavalcade of police cruisers chased the suspects into
Watertown. The brothers threw explosives at the pursuing officers,
police said.
The brothers stopped near Dexter and Laurel streets, got out of the
car, and traded gunfire with police for several minutes. MBTA Transit
Police Officer Richard H. Donohue Jr., 33, was wounded. He was in stable
condition Friday at Mount Auburn Hospital.
The elder brother was shot in the battle and collapsed.As his brother
lay on the street, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev jumped into the car and took off,
plowing past a line of police officers who fired furiously. As he drove,
he ran over his brother’s body. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev abandoned the car
nearby and fled on foot, triggering an enormous search and setting the
region on edge.
Police took Tamerlan Tsarnaev to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center about 1:10 a.m. Friday. He was pronounced dead at 1:35 a.m. Dr.
Richard Wolfe said the suspect had been hit by shrapnel from an
explosion and that he had died from “a combination of blasts” and
“multiple gunshot wounds.”
The question that remains is why the siblings would attack their
adoptive nation. But a picture began to emerge Friday of Tamerlan
Tsarnaev as an aggressive, possibly radicalized immigrant who may have
ensnared his younger brother — described almost universally as smart
and sweet — into an act of terror.

“I used to warn Dzhokhar that Tamerlan was up to no good,” Zaur
Tsarnaev, who identified himself as a 26-year-old cousin, said by phone
Friday from Makhachkala, Russia. “[Tamerlan] was always getting into
trouble. He was never happy, never cheering, never smiling. He used to
strike his girlfriend. He hurt her a few times. He was not a nice man.”
In a photo essay about boxing, Tamerlan said: “I don’t have a single American friend. I don’t understand them.”
In 2011, a foreign government asked the FBI for information about
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, based on information that he was a follower of
“radical Islam” who had changed drastically, the bureau said in a
statement Friday. In response, the FBI investigated and interviewed
Tamerlan and family members. “The FBI did not find any terrorism
activity, domestic or foreign,” the bureau said.
Dzhokhar, the suspect seen in FBI photos in a white cap worn
backward, was a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. On
Wednesday, two days after the Marathon attack, he spent the night at
his dorm, according to a school official who declined to be named. He
was an all-star wrestler and a member of the class of 2011 at Cambridge
Rindge & Latin School; he won a Cambridge City Scholarship that
year.

A Northeastern University sophomore who lived within blocks of
Dzhokhar and graduated from Cambridge Rindge and Latin with him
described the younger bombing suspect as an honor student popular with
classmates who enjoyed playing pickup basketball with a large circle of
friends.
Gilberto Junior, 44, owner of Junior’s Auto body in Somerville, said
the younger suspect dropped off a white Mercedes station wagon two weeks
ago for repairs. Junior said he had not yet touched the car when the
suspect came back demanding the car, the day after the bombing. The
owner said Dzhokhar appeared nervous.
The family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who died in the blasts,
thanked law enforcement officers for their work on the investigation.
“None of this will bring our beloved Martin back, or reverse the
injuries these men inflicted on our family and nearly two hundred
others,” the Dorchester family said in a statement. “We continue to pray
for healing and for comfort on the long road that lies ahead for every
victim and their loved ones.”
William Campbell III, whose 29-year-old sister, Krystle M. Campbell,
was killed when the bombs went off on Boylston Street Monday, said after
Tsarnaev was captured: “I’m happy that nobody else is going to get
hurt by these guys, but it’s not going to bring her back.”
As for the rest of the family, including Krystle’s father, William
Campbell Jr., and mother, Patricia Campbell, “they’re happy they got the
guys, but basically they feel the same,” he said. “You can only get so
angry, and you then know she’s not going to be here anymore.” James Vaznis, Andrea Estes, Shelley Murphy, Eric Moskowitz, Maria
