I’m joining the board of #AcreageHoldings because my thinking on cannabis has evolved. I’m convinced de-scheduling the drug is needed so we can do research, help our veterans, and reverse the opioid epidemic ravaging our communities. @AcreageCannabis

 

So he's joining the board a national cannabis corporation because he cares about veterans and opiods. What a crock of absolute bullshit that is. This douche is merely peddling his political influence in exchange for shares in an industry that has already taken off. He doesn't care about shit other than making some money off of it.

 

 

Translation:  I’m joining the board of #AcreageHoldings because money.

And shame on Acreage Holdings for getting in bed with those who previously wanted to incarcerate people for using the product their business sells. 

Fuck them too

 

He goes from BIG tobacco to BIG marijuana.

Not surprised.

Greedy fuckin' pig.

 

"my thinking has ... evolved"

Hear hear!

 

I hope they create jobs. And affordable housing.

yeah, they will be real quick on that housing brah.

>>> I hope they create jobs. And affordable housing.

I'm sure with all that "acreage" there could be a trimmigrant job or 2 available.

I hear it pays pretty well if you're motivated.

Hit 'em up.

What do you got to lose?

where are we going to get all the mexicans to trim, harvest and farm if we build the wall?

Comments on that link are from people that are pretty well informed.

Can I smoke my house when I run out of buds 

Might as well make it a block party.

Imagine the insurance rates.

you don't smoke hemp dork.

Good point I can make shitty clothes and necklaces though right? 

>>> you don't smoke hemp dork.

That explains a lot.

What a waste of a perfectly good fanny pack.

Said 100% hemp, even had a pot leaf on it.

>>>>>you don't smoke hemp dork.

 

Good argument for building your house out of buds.

Is there a strain called Thatch?

As annoying as Boehner is, the movement needs to flip these kinda guys. In the main, it’s a good thing. 

>I can make shitty clothes and necklaces though right? <

totally. maybe get an etsy site...

The movement didn't flip Boner.

Money did.

He has always worked for BIG tobacco.

BIG tobacco wants to own the pot industry.

He and his friends can EABFD!

^^^ Agreed 

The ball is rolling with enough momentum that there’s no reason to partner with hypocrites. 

>>Money did.

I’m as pro-socialism as the next Zoner, but our system is still capitalist. Money can move almost everything in the U.S. Yes, there are a lot of things wrong with that, but that’s what we (mostly) have to work with. Money will bring a lot of new players to the marijuana table (already has). That’s ok with me, as long as we can have appellations, legal home grows, otc sales, and no more police records to worry about. 

This is a guy who fought against legalization in DC and fought for it to remain a schedule 1 drug. Hundreds of thousands were arrested under his watch for marijuana violations. Fuck him and his crocodile tears. 

The strain names are endless.

Hypocrite Hemp

Welcome to America.    If things got done out of true justice or the greater good, that would be nice... but at the end of the day, money is the impetus and only drive for just about everything in our society.  Especially politicians.

We all know it's not about compassion or justice.   Hell even MMJ and legalization are rooted solely in $$.   Without it there would be no movement at all.   It's not about what's right and just... and never was.     

Can't really recall anyone who was strung out on heroin suddenly kicking because they had a good weed connection.

Apples and oranges.

They are talking about opiates in pill form.  Been proven a few times.

 

40 yrs ago I was one of the only folks in my crew that still smoked pot.  Some things never change.
