Dr. Gupta,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to participate in the AMA. I wanted to inquire as to what your thoughts are on marijuana for recreational use.

Given your preliminary research, aside from the apparent short term psychological alterations that occur in the brain, what do you feel could be the long term negative aspects AND positive aspects of consistent recreational use of marijuana? Often times, the positive aspects of recreational use are overlooked and I would be curious to hear your thoughts on what they could be (for example, a glass of red wine each day has been determined to have a positive effect on your long-term heart health).

Thank you for your time, reporting and research!

Man, you really did an amazing thing. Serious respect my friend!

I just saw the video of what you did for Eric on CNN...brought me to tears, such a beautiful thing you did. Where is Eric now? Where does he stay? This type of prank gives me hope for humanity.

Wow, was that you that gave me Reddit gold? You really are an incredible person. Thank you!

I agree....the world needs more people like Rahat.
