Fighting for relief: A Mother's Struggle for Medical Cannabis | Crista Eggers
Manage episode 424662159 series 2517596
In this compelling episode of Let's Be Blunt with Montel, Montel talks with Nebraskan activist Crista Eggers, who is on a mission to legalize medicinal cannabis in Nebraska. Crista's fight is personal—her 9-year-old son, Colton, suffers from severe epilepsy, and traditional pharmaceuticals have failed to provide relief. With a looming deadline of July 3, Crista and her team must gather over 87,000 signatures on two petitions to get a medical cannabis initiative on the state's November ballot.
Join Montel and Crista as they discuss:
- Colton's health struggles and the desperate need for medical cannabis
- The challenges and triumphs of gathering signatures for the ballot initiative
- The broader implications of Nebraska's cannabis laws in comparison to other states
- The personal toll on families fighting for access to life-changing treatments
Crista provides a raw, heartfelt look at the obstacles faced by patients and caregivers in states without medical cannabis laws. Her resilience and determination offer hope and inspiration to families in similar situations.
