While smokable flowers, edibles, and vapes lead legal cannabis sales, THC-infused beverages are projected to become a major market segment. For now, they account for slightly more than one percent of total cannabis sales, but “beverages are growing and trending up” according to market intelligence firm Headset, and the category is becoming more sophisticated. Montel talks with Paul Weaver, Head of Cannabis for the Boston Beer Company on this episode of Let’s Be Blunt. In 2021, The Boston Beer Company, the name behind some of Americas favorite brands such as Samuel Adams, Twisted Tea and Angry Orchard, threw its hat in the ring and established a Canadian subsidiary to research and develop THC beverages in advance of future US legalization.

Montel talks with Terrence Stevens and Philip Smith on this episode of Let’s be Blunt. Terrence is a quadriplegic with Muscular Dystrophy who was sentenced to 15 years in a maximum security prison for a non-violent low level drug offense. He suffered years of abuse and exploitation from the penal system and was eventually granted clemency by Governor Pataki after serving 10 years of his sentence. Since his release he has dedicated his life to creating positive change in communities disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. His story was featured in the PBS documentary The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross. Now focused on treating a myriad of medical ailments, he has teamed up with Freshly Baked founders Jenny Roseman and Philip Smith to launch his IRONSYDZ brand of cannabis products in Massachusetts.

Montel Williams is one of the highest-profile advocates for medical cannabis in the country. He has used medical cannabis products to effectively manage the symptoms of his Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since his diagnosis with the disease in 1999.
