The former head of a Michigan medical marijuana licensing board has agreed to plead guilty to accepting $110,000 in bribes to influence his decisions when he led the panel over a two-year period, authorities said Thursday.
Charges against Rick Johnson and three other men were announced by U.S. Attorney Mark Totten at a press conference in the capital, Lansing.
Johnson was chairman of the marijuana board for two years until spring 2019. The Republican also was one of the most powerful lawmakers in the Capitol, serving as House speaker from 2001-04.

Weed regime is bad news. Pot pushers fouling up our good guys' party are even worse than RINOs. What a mess on so many levels.

The man is an idiot. You’re not supposed to take cash. You’re supposed to take no-show, high paying positions on corporate boards.

Start communicating with employers, prosecutors, police, and medical professionals. If you want something done about it, you’ll need to stop hiding and say something.

Watch this turn out to be Dems paying Rino’s for special treatment, and then ratting them out to Dem prosecutors afterwards.
Never sell out, but especially never sell out to rat-hole Dems.

I have always been against marijuana legalization. But am OK with it for confirmed medical uses. Medical marijuana was abused in California. It was one big joke where anyone could get it. After going to the right doctor.

It’s like banning abortion except in cases of emergency.
Suddenly every time it will be a “case of emergency”.

I've never believed "medicine" claims even for a fraction of a percent for a fraction of second. All a scam and they are rolling out other hallucinogenics as "medicine" next. All BS and all according to a plan.
