The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) published a “Cannabis Croynism” investigation on Friday detailing potential political corruption surrounding the $21 billion marijuana industry, including conflicts of interest involving former Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).
The GAI’s Eric Eggers joined Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow to discuss the report’s findings.
“John Boehner stands to make $20 million dollars if marijuana … becomes legalized nationally,” Egger said. “He’s gonna a long-time associate and employed with the cannabis industry. That’s a big time 180, philosophically, from where he’s been.”
The New York Times reported on Boehner’s commodification of his political pedigree within the marijuana industry in 2019:
Mr. Boehner’s pro-weed epiphany coincides with the prospect of a payday as high as $20 million from the industry he once so vigorously opposed. He sits on the board of Acreage Holdings, a marijuana investment firm whose sale to a cannabis industry giant hinges on Mr. Boehner’s ability to persuade Congress and the federal government to legalize, or at least legitimize, marijuana.
Boehner joined the board of Acreage Holdings in 2018, a firm that invests in marijuana cultivation, processing, and sales.

Got the idea when Santa got in trouble last year for saying "Ho, Ho, Ho" as three women were passing by.

A libertarian would say that there should be no fixed limit on the number of growing licenses - but the limits are still preferable to the previous limit of zero, and are politically necessary to appease pols who listen to rabid frothers like you.
