    Former House Speaker John Boehner is flipping his position on marijuana and joining the advisory board of a cannabis company selling legal weed in 11 states.

    Boehner, along with former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, joined the advisory board of Acreage Holdings Wednesday, which oversees operations for marijuana cultivation, processing and dispensing throughout the country including in California, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and Florida. Boehner, who historically opposed marijuana legalization, said his “thinking on cannabis has evolved,” in a statement Wednesday.

    The national opioid crisis and poor veteran access to alternative pain treatments are fueling Boehner’s interest in the legalization issue. “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,” he said Wednesday.

    “We need to look no further than our nation’s 20 million veterans, 20 percent of whom, according to a 2017 American Legion survey, reportedly use cannabis to self-treat PTSD, chronic pain and other ailments,” Boehner and Weld said in a joint statement Wednesday. “Yet the VA does not allow its doctors to recommend its usage. There are numerous other patient groups in America whose quality of life has been dramatically improved by the state-sanctioned use of medical cannabis.”
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    it grows pretty easily in ditches, backyards, empty lots, the woods. why wouldn't it be free? oh, you mean the license to grow would be so high that only corporations could afford it?

    Don't look at Boner for high ethics and morality. He is a money whore.

    Ditch weed has virtually no THC. But I agree, if it's legal, then it should be perfectly legal to grow your own. But we both know that ain't gonna happen. And yes, Boehner is, and has always been, a scumbag.
