Welcome to “Let’s Be Blunt with Montel,” where we have candid conversations on cannabis and wellness. In this compelling episode, Montel
Williams sits down with Russell Langhammer, a former athlete, retired airline professional, and long-time cannabis advocate with an extraordinary story of resilience and transformation.
Russell shares his incredible life narrative, taking us through his challenging childhood, his time as an athlete, and his years in the
airline industry. He opens up about the life-threatening health problems and severe work injuries that led to a 15-year addiction to pain relievers. His search for a better way to manage pain brought him back to nature, ultimately discovering the healing properties
of cannabis.
In January 2019, Russell had a near-death experience that became a turning point in his life. From early encounters with cannabis to exploring
ancient healing practices, Russell’s story is one of incredible perseverance. He dives deep into the significance of Full Extract Cannabis Oil (FECO) in his recovery and discusses the broader benefits of cannabis and mushrooms for pain relief.
Join us as Russell and Montel discuss the stigma surrounding cannabis, the challenges of transitioning from traditional pain relief methods,
and the importance of community in healing. Russell’s powerful account, chronicled in his book “Pain is My Companion,” offers hope and inspiration for anyone dealing with chronic pain or seeking alternative treatments.
