Former House Speaker John Boehner announced Wednesday that he is joining Acreage Holdings, which cultivates, processes, and dispenses legal marijuana in the U.S.

Why it matters: In 2011, Boehner came out against marijuana legalization, and today's announcement indicates a normalizing of the marijuana industry, despite attacks led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

It is legal and a legitimate source of income.

I have no problem with this decision.

The WOD is the 2nd stupidest war ever (the War on Poverty being the 1st).

If we were to legalize drugs we would save trillions of dollars and see crime drop by 50% or more — both inside of a month.

He came to the same realization that I did.

And another great thinker that made this same turn around is Ben Shapiro.

OMG, a former politician selling out the principles he claimed to have for money, very shocking.

This tells me marijuana will soon be legal and probably widely used in all 50 states before this decade is out.

America, we hardly knew ye...

Yeah, but instead of crying into his beer, now Boehner will be crying into his Doritos.

Just proves what I always knew about him. Boehner lied, like a dog, about his "conservative values" to stay in power.....while making sure that all his liberal agendas got passed.
