Nick Smart, CEO of CannaCon says some crazy shit. He’s not a fan of helping those who were disproportionally harmed by the war on cannabis (because he has money and opportunity by birth and others do not), nor does he support medical cannabis for PTSD, anxiety or back pain. He tells patients to stop being “p:@@-;@”. Warning: This episode features foul explicit language from CannaCon’a Nick Smart. Smart did not return our request for comment.
