This week on Let’s Be Blunt, Montel sits down with Larry Sharpe, Libertarian candidate for Governor of New York, for a candid conversation about why legalization alone isn’t enough—and how broken implementation can hurt the very people reform was meant to help.
Larry shares his perspective on New York’s troubled cannabis rollout, the barriers facing small businesses and legacy operators, and why overregulation is pushing entrepreneurs out of a market that was supposed to create opportunity. Together, Montel and Larry dig into the lingering effects of prohibition, the slow pace of expungement, and the economic potential New York is leaving on the table.
This episode isn’t about party politics—it’s about personal freedom, fairness, and whether government policies actually deliver on their promises. Larry outlines his vision for a system that empowers communities, supports responsible entrepreneurship, and treats cannabis like the legitimate industry it is.
If you care about smart reform, economic growth, and the future of legalization in America, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
