In Modern Britain, cannabis is at best tolerated and at worst yet *another* target for moral outrage. While high-strength THC flower – or ‘skunk’ – remains the illicit weed of choice for the British public, despite the UK being one of the world’s biggest producers of legal cannabis, Little Englanders of a certain age and status still clutch scornfully their pearls at a mere sniff of the ‘Evil Weed’.

But a new type of cannabis is being embraced across Britain – in the form of CBD. Yes, more open-minded, health conscious consumers are emerging here. But will a drive towards more mindful, intentional living pave the way for, and legitimise ‘therapeutic cannabis’?

Or are we Brits so hellbent on hedonistic indulgence that only super strong cannabis can compete with the copious amounts of alcohol we consume?

When most people hear the name Montel Williams, they immediately think of daytime TV, and not necessarily his reputation as one of the strongest cannabis advocates of our time. For Gen Xers and some Millennials, “The Montel Williams Show” was a staple in our households. The show ran for 17 years, the topics were sometimes sensational in nature and his guests at times controversial, which makes a lot of sense, as Montel was always someone who used his show to discuss the things he wanted. The show also provided the beginnings of a platform he needed to take on something even bigger, life changing, and life saving for so many people around the world; but before we get into Montel the cannabis advocate, there’s a lot you might not know about Montel Williams the person. Fat Nugs Magazine was privileged enough to interview and get to know him, his cannabis journey, and his predictions for the future.
