One incident that changed Mr. Gupta 's attitude towards marijuana was encountering Charlotte Figi who suffered from a birth in a seizure. Figi was suffering from seizures that occurred 300 times in a week until 3 years old despite taking seven drugs, but when I started taking medical marijuana, the number of attacks Decreased to about two or three times a month. Mr. Gupta has heard stories from many patients besides Figi since it has been one of Figi's siblings, and he seems to want to apologize for being poorly understood about marijuana while in a medical position.

Mr. Gupta said that marijuana, among other drugs,It is highly likely that it will be acceptable to use for medical use, and it will be highly abused"I thought that there was an absolute reason for being classified as Schedule I. The reason that marijuana was classified as schedule I is that the doctor Roger O. Egeberg submitted a document on marijuana on August 14, 1970 to the government. However, in the document submitted by Egeberg doctor, "There is a hole to consider yet in our research on marijuana, but it should be classified as Schedule I until more detailed information is known" No scientific evidence was given.

Egeberg's doctor noted that "Research on marijuana is ongoing", but that research was never completed. Furthermore, as Gupta continued the investigation, the research that Egeberg was doing was carried out 70 years ago, and it seems that the result of the research has already been done. In other words, despite the already known data, Dr. Egeberg repeated the same study.
