On this episode of Let's Be Blunt with Montel, we’re joined by Tamara Lyn Netzel, Founder of Cruel Consequences: Portraits of Misguided Law.
Tamara’s advocacy work sheds light on the devastating, far-reaching impact of outdated cannabis laws. She shares her personal battle with Multiple Sclerosis that led her to cannabis, as well as the heartbreaking and inspiring stories behind her nonprofit’s powerful portrait project.
We also discuss her two groundbreaking books, The Human Cost of Marijuana Prohibition and Humans of Cannabis in a Renaissance of Hope, which highlight the systemic injustices people face long after a cannabis conviction.
Together, we’ll explore how her work is rewriting the narrative around cannabis, breaking stigmas, and driving meaningful change in policies and communities.
This is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
Tune in to hear how powerful advocacy and personal stories have become a catalyst for hope and reform.
