From cigarettes to marijuana, eh?
When it comes to marijuana, former House Speaker John A. Boehner has gone from “hell no you can’t” to supporting the board of a cannabis corporation.
Acreage Holdings, which calls itself “one of the nation’s largest, multi-state actively-managed cannabis corporations” announced the former Speaker joined the company’s board of advisers.
The move reflects a shift in Boehner’s sentiments about marijuana when he was in Congress.
In 2007, Boehner voted against a failed amendment that would have prohibited the Justice Department from using money to stop states that had enacted legalized marijuana….

Boehner says his views on marijuana have “evolved”.
I’m sure a nice paycheck didn’t hurt either.
U got THAT right Scott
There are a whole lot of Congresspeople who have “evolved” too.
Just Not publicly.
And money has attracted lots of drug dealers to the industry throughout history.
The whole country should be making money off of legal weed and soon enough will be.
Just because CG gets nostalgic warm fuzzies over Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign doesn’t mean the rest of society hasn’t moved on.
