On this episode of Let's Be Blunt with Montel, we’re joined by Sara Payan—a dynamic educator, award-winning advocate, and podcast host—in a thought-provoking discussion about the role of education in shaping smarter, more impactful cannabis policies.
Sara draws on her wealth of experience, from serving on prominent task forces and committees to being a trusted voice in leading publications like Rolling Stone and Cannabis Now.
Together, we uncover how powerful, informed education can empower policymakers, uplift communities, and dismantle long-standing stigmas around cannabis.
We also explore the importance of educating consumers, the economic impact of better-informed governance, and the critical connection between accessibility, safety, and policy reform.
Whether you’re a cannabis enthusiast, policymaker, or educator, this conversation will inspire you to rethink the future of cannabis advocacy and education.
Discover how education can help create a thriving cannabis industry built on fairness, innovation, and opportunity—and learn how you can make a difference, too.
