In this powerful episode of “Let’s Be Blunt with Montel,” Montel Williams speaks with Alison Myrden, a retired corrections officer, drug

Alison shares her unique perspective on the war on drugs, shaped by her years working in the Youth Court Justice system, where she witnessed
firsthand the criminalization of young offenders for experimenting with drugs, especially cannabis. She recounts her personal journey of managing excruciating pain through medical cannabis and other alternative therapies, long before they were widely accepted
in Canada.

The current landscape for medical cannabis and psilocybin patients in Canada.
