Ex-Speaker John Boehner, who opposed legalization, joins marijuana firm

Now while he’s not in office any more, it is an interesting turn of events. He was known for stymieing President Obama in many ways, partially due to intentional effort, the other part due to a failure to whip his party to vote in unison.

Now the next question is… will we see more elected GOP officials endorse cannabis?

Love that the Vets flipped him. Vets + Republicans + Cannabis = ? …I don’t know, but it’s a good start!

Just as the article says: marijuana has gone mainstream. Boehner joining Acreage Holdings is just that proverbial writing on the wall.

No doubt Hunter. We need more of this from our elected officials. I am in a state (Missouri)that has arcane laws that hurt people. We all need to be engaged and participate in the process to make sure that our beloved plant is available to those that need help with their health both mentally and physically.
