Physician and CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta takes his seventh foray into the world of medical marijuana as he explores cannabis for seniors in “Weed 7: A Senior Moment,” premiering Sunday night on CNN’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper. In the latest episode of his pioneering and Emmy Award nominated series on medical marijuana, Gupta notes that cannabis use by adults aged 65 and older jumped 75% between 2015 and 2018. And today, with recreational marijuana legal in 23 states and medical marijuana legalized in 38 more, seniors are the fastest-growing group of cannabis users in the United States. gettySince that groundbreaking initial episode, the “Weed” series of documentaries has delved further into the possibilities for medical marijuana and the steadily progressing cannabis reform movement. “Weed 7: A Senior Moment” premieres on The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper on Sunday, August 6, on CNN at 8:00 pm Eastern and Pacific Standard Time.
