In this enlightening episode of “Let’s Be Blunt with Montel,” host Montel Williams engages in a heartfelt conversation with Bob Patton, the visionary chairman of Green Meadows, a family-owned cannabis dispensary in Massachusetts.
With his multifaceted experiences ranging from literature and journalism to leading a socially responsible cannabis business, Bob shares insights on how his storied family history intertwined with sustainable farming and community impact.
Bob Patton comes from a long line of distinguished individuals who have left their mark on history. His great-grandfather was the legendary General George S. Patton, known for his strategic brilliance and leadership in World
War II. Bob’s father, General George Patton IV, continued the family legacy and served as a highly decorated military officer himself.
We explore the poignant history of Green Meadows, as it transitioned from the famous Patton family horse farm established by General George S. Patton, to a trailblazer in eco-friendly cannabis production. Bob discusses the
importance of community-oriented business practices and reveals his strategies for other dispensaries aiming to go green.
The discussion spans topics such as family legacy and the role younger generations might play in the cannabis industry, the connection between organic practices, product quality, consumer wellbeing, and Bob’s own work on
“The Pattons: A Personal History of an American Family”.
An advocate for veterans, Bob shares the milestones of the Patton Veterans Project and Green Meadows’ dedication to assisting those with PTSD. We also uncover the community enrichment fostered by Green Meadows through various
events that emphasize the positive aspects of cannabis.
Addressing misconceptions about cannabis, especially in the veteran community, poses unique challenges. Bob weighs in with his perspective on shifting attitudes and fostering understanding.
Lastly, listeners are treated to a sneak peek into Bob Patton’s upcoming book series, adding another layer to the illustrious Patton narrative.
Join Montel as he dives deep into the rich tapestry of the Patton family’s commitment to excellence, from military history to modern-day cannabis advocacy, on “Let’s Be Blunt with Montel.”
The Associated Press and Tom Angell’s Marijuana Moment has broken the story that the DEA has rescheduled cannabis to schedule 3 of the CSA. THIS DOES NOT LEGALIZE THE PLANT OR DECIMINALIZE IT. It does rid the industry of the unjust 280E Tax code that didn’t allow the industry to write off business expenses that every other business.
