CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta’s recent conversion on the subject of marijuana (professionally, not personally!) has earned him high fives in the weed industry, including a strain named in his honor. But the Helping Hands Dispensary’s “Sanjay Gupta Kush” may only be available for a limited time: “We may have to change the name,” the owner of the Colorado business told Animal New York. “CNN phoned us and asked us to remove it. I think we’ll leave it alone for the weekend and see what happens.” The stuff, still named for Gupta at the moment, is on sale today, $35 for an eighth and $12 for a gram.

The network is far more laid-back about Gupta’s documentary, Weed, when it’s on their terms; recent promos of a website redesign, as published by Fast Company, feature Gupta’s findings front and center:
