COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc., (NASDAQ OTCQB: CBIS) a U.S. Company specializing in cannabis formulation-based drug development and related consulting, applauds CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta for continuing to bring to public attention the medical value of cannabis to patients and the challenges that patients face in seeking cannabis-based life-savings treatments.
Leading up to the airing of his new documentary, 'Weed 2', to be aired this evening on CNN at 10 p.m. EDT, Dr. Gupta published an article in which he states, among other things, that "I am more convinced than ever that it is irresponsible to not provide the best [medical] care we can, care that often may involve marijuana.
