MEDICAL CANNABIS | MONTEL KEYNOTE FEBRUARY 2020
Let’s Be Blunt with Montel
On this edition of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel gives the keynote address at the Florida Medical Cannabis Conference on February 22, 2020. Montel shares his personal health journey, discusses the importance of patient access, and how the cannabis industry needs to continue to work together to continue to advocate and change laws as the industry grows.
Montel reflects on being deployed in the military, and how he often longed for a “different type of social interaction” in that environment. During social isolation, especially for those who are in their homes alone, it is easy to be overcome by loneliness. It’s important to remember that during self-isolation, you don’t have to socially isolate. Reach out to family and friends regularly by telephone, web conference, or FaceTime, those interactions are an important basic human need.
