Montel Williams Stands Up For Medical Marijuana
Former TV talk-show host and sometime Hollywood actor Montel Williams trekked to the New York statehouse this week to let his voice be heard on an issue that's near and dear to his heart -- marijuana.
Mad TV's Jordan Peele as Montel.

Williams, who has multiple sclerosis, is a longtime medical marijuana user and backer.
The drug "changed my life -- it allowed me to have my life back," he said.
