Montel Williams Calls Medical Marijuana Opponents Racist

Talk show host Montel Williams is a vigorous supporter of medical marijuana. Williams uses the drug to combat symptoms from Multiple Sclerosis.

And he isn’t taking kindly to a new ad running in Arkansas that speaks out against bringing legal medical marijuana shops to the state. The former talker says the ad in question is racist to the core. 

“Offensive is really an understatement. It’s the most egregiously racist, false statement you’ve ever seen in your life,” Williams reportedly told the Little Rock crowd in regards to a TV ad that aired opposing the measure.

“They’ve people sitting in a picture holding guns, talking about medical marijuana, and of course they happen to be of different colors to make sure you’re as irritated and angry as you can be.”
