In this compelling episode of Let’s Be Blunt with Montel, Montel talks with Nebraskan activist Crista Eggers, who is on a mission to legalize medicinal cannabis in Nebraska. Crista’s fight is personal—her 9-year-old son, Colton, suffers from severe epilepsy, and traditional pharmaceuticals have failed to provide relief. With a looming deadline of July 3, Crista and her team must gather over 87,000 signatures on two petitions to get a medical cannabis initiative on the state’s November ballot.

Join Montel and Crista as they discuss:

Colton’s health struggles and the desperate need for medical cannabis
The challenges and triumphs of gathering signatures for the ballot initiative
The broader implications of Nebraska’s cannabis laws in comparison to other states
The personal toll on families fighting for access to life-changing treatments
Crista provides a raw, heartfelt look at the obstacles faced by patients and caregivers in states without medical cannabis laws. Her resilience and determination offer hope and inspiration to families in similar situations.

“There is no doubt Nebraskans want to see this on the ballot, so we need them to step up and help make that happen. My personal ask, not as a campaign manager, but as a mother, is that people would react as if their child’s life depends on it and go sign; because for many of us, our child’s life really does depend on it,” said Eggers.

NMM is calling for voters to find a location to sign, which they can do in Omaha and Lincoln at Wine, Beer and Spirits weekdays from 4pm-close, and during open hours all weekend. For other signing locations and more information, go to:
