Montel talks with Helen Gomez Andrews on this episode of Let’s be Blunt. Helen is a lifelong cannabis enthusiast and advocate, and parent to one of the first medical cardholders in New York State. Together with her husband and two kids, she moved from New York City to MA, leaving her Wall Street career behind to launch The High End, a vertically- integrated cannabis company centered around organic living soil cultivation, solventless extraction, and a hospitality and home- grow driven retail experience. She’s sharing her daughter's journey with epilepsy and the relief she has found through the use of medical cannabis.

On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel speaks with Steven Hoffman. Mr Hoffman served as the initial Chairman of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission from 2017 – 2022 where he was responsible for standing up a safe and equitable market for recreational cannabis in the state and expanding access to the medical cannabis program. Prior to serving on the Commission, he was a Senior Partner at Bain & Company, the Chief Strategy Officer for Sapient and the CEO of two venture capital backed technology start-ups. He currently serves on the Board of Directors and Advisory Boards of several cannabis businesses with a focus on bringing clinical support and higher quality products to medical cannabis patients.

Montell Williams Previews 'Variety Salute to Service' Special

Montel Williams will host “Variety Salute to Service” on the History Channel on Veterans Day.

On this special Veteran’s Day episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel speaks with the Executive Director of the Veterans Cannabis Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving U.S. military veterans’ quality of life through the opportunity of cannabis. Stephen served in the United States Navy for over 20 years as a Naval Aviator and Commanding Officer. His professional experiences span global development, aviation, organizational development, innovation, macroeconomics, security cooperation, defense financial management, and acquisitions. Nine million+ veterans cannot access medical cannabis through their healthcare provider, even in states where cannabis is legal. VHA doctors cannot recommend cannabis or submit the forms that many states require. The federal status of cannabis has also made it nearly impossible to research the impacts of cannabis on veterans’ health issues such as TBIs, PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. New legislation is pending to improve access in legal states, but we are not here yet.

Happy 248th birthday US Marine Corps!
