Montel talks with Robert Hoban on this episode of Let’s be Blunt. Robert was recently named a “Cannabis Law Trailblazer” by the National Law Journal and has been consistently recognized as one of “Denver’s Top Cannabis Lawyers” for nearly a decade. It was his mother's struggle with pancreatic cancer in 2006 that turned Hoban’s focus to the cannabis industry. From 2010-2016 he served as one of the Nation’s first cannabis policy instructors at the University of Denver, where he regularly lectured regarding cannabis topics, and led a University- sanctioned research practicum concerning the efficacy of marijuana regulation. Given this academic background, he has been asked to work with the governments of more than thirty countries on crafting commercial cannabis public policy. He is a Forbes contributor, speaker and cannabis media expert.
