Montel talks with Baba Israel & Grace Galu on this episode of Let’s Be Blunt about their new theatrical production entitled Cannabis! A Viper Vaudeville. The show is a theatrical concert exploring the history of cannabis using music, dance, and spoken word. It’s inspired by Martin A. Lee’s book Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana - Medical, Recreational, and Scientific. Cannabis! weaves the histories of icons such as Louis Armstrong and Bob Marley, and grassroots activists such as Dennis Perron and Brownie Mary with personal narratives and explores the cycles of repression & injustice surrounding the policing of the plant (and those who use it), along with its simultaneous celebration in the culture at large. It’s an immersive, multimedia artistic experience. The show runs January 8, 2022-January 15, 2022 at the Ellen Stewart Theatre in New York City and is co-presented by HERE, La MaMa and PROTOTYPE: Opera | Theatre | Now.Tickets available at here.org/shows/cannabis-a-viper-vaudeville (HERE.org) or PrototypeFestival.org Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSupport the show

A new study in the Journal of Cancer found that 42 percent of the 612 breast cancer patients studied said they used cannabis to relieve symptoms associated with their disease or the side effects of treatment, including pain, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, stress, and anxiety. Three-quarters of the people who used cannabis said it was helpful in alleviating their symptoms. Research has shown that cannabis can be effective for many of these symptoms, notably pain and nausea. 49% of the study participants who used cannabis also believed that cannabis could be used to treat cancer itself — something that’s not yet supported by research. On this episode of Let’s be Blunt, Montel talks with Mary Bowden, a stage 3 breast cancer survivor, along with her son Andrew, who transitioned from real estate to the cannabis industry after witnessing the impact cannabis had on his mother.

Not all cannabis is created equal. Different strains of cannabis produce different effects and thus can be used for different reasons. Most consumers have generally divided cannabis into one of three categories, indica, sativa, and hybrid based on the general outcome of effects that those products produce. However, industry experts are saying that the terms are really meaningless, that when tested in the lab there are NO identifiable characteristics consistent with these terms. What is generally consistent though, is the effect and profile from a particular strain. On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel talks with Leafly’s California Bureau Chief and Co-host of the Hash Podcast, David Downs, to learn about Leafly’s selection of the 2021 Strain of the Year.
