No special guests – just straight talk and keen insight as we address the pivotal movements:

The Global Green Wave: Deutschland Goes ‘Dübe’
We go global, spotlighting Germany’s groundbreaking move to legalize cannabis use for adults. But it’s not all smooth sailing – what do the restrictions mean for German citizens and the worldwide crusade for legalization?

Let’s Be Blunt is a podcast hosted by Montel Williams, that explores the intersection of cannabis, activism, health, and wellness. The podcast works to bridge the gap between common cannabis knowledge and in-depth research, while also giving high-profile guests a chance to “be blunt” about their lives, what they’re passionate about, and what they believe in. The goal of the podcast is to empower listeners with knowledge about the cannabis space by answering frequently asked questions in a simple, digestible way from experts in the industry. Occasionally the podcast will cover noncannabis related topical conversations. Currently, the podcast is running a Magical Butter Machine giveaway.
