On this episode of Let's Be Blunt with Montel, we’re exploring the world of cooperative cannabis farming and caregiver rights in the breathtaking islands of Hawaii. Montel sits down with Jason Hanley, a U.S. Army veteran, biologist, and the owner of Care Waialua Medical Cannabis Farm, to uncover the realities of Hawaii's cannabis landscape.
Jason brings over 22 years of cannabis-growing experience across multiple states and is a leading advocate for patients' rights and sustainable medical cannabis programs in Hawaii. He shares his firsthand experience navigating the challenges of legislative hurdles, the controversial 2023 raid on his Oahu farm, and his ongoing mission to protect caregiver rights.
We’ll also discuss the Hawaii Medical Cannabis Act of 2025 and the push for policies that empower local growers, create jobs, and ensure affordable access to medical cannabis. Whether you’re a cannabis advocate, policy enthusiast, or someone passionate about community health, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
Tune in to hear Jason’s incredible story, his fight for equitable cannabis policies, and how he’s building a movement for patients and caregivers alike.
