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.

From the DUI standpoint, a problem is that blood levels don't correlate with degree of impairment as well as they do with alcohol. This makes it more problematic to convict. Predictably, states with legal marijuana use have seen an increase in accident fatalities.
(Advisable to drive a big safe car, truck or SUV. When I worked in DC -- during the Reagan years -- a problem was drunk diplomats driving big Benzes. They could kill you, and walk.)
Excellent point and I suppose I’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. But for now,the Food & Drug Act was enacted what, about 110 years ago, and the supremacy of federal law with respect to it has been adjudicated, so I’ll deal with this portion of the law as it is now, and hypothetical issues of the Second Amendment when they actually come to pass.
“Excellent point and I suppose I’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”
So your position on a law that would trash the Second Amendment is to yet to be determined, but in the meantime, you roll over on the Tenth Amendment.
Sad.
Nah, I was being sarcastic. I actually think your point is nonsensical. The Food & Drug Act is plainly a proper use of federal police powers under the Commerce Clause as properly applied, as opposed to the bastardization that liberals use now. Slapping the tenth amendment onto everything would render the supremacy clause meaningless. Theoretical future attempts to abrogate the second amendment is comparing apples to oranges.
Does he still cry everyday??
He laughs a lot now especially when watching the cartoon network
Whores and politicians both sell their souls...
MJ is federally prohibited under the Controlled Substances Act, which is based on the bastardized Wickard Commerce Clause that you rightly condemned and that liberals and gop-e have used to expand fedgov beyond its proper boundaries.
I’m going to guess that makes no difference to you and that you still support federal mj prohibition. Surprise me.
And we'd save mega bucks on education...Those who did make it to school wouldn't learn anything anyway...May as well shut them down...
And what about those millions of people who will get hooked on those drugs because they are now legal...When they can no longer afford them ya think they'll just quit???
Again, you assume facts not in evidence.
But if nanny state works for you, I won’t try to convince you otherwise.
Might as well repeal the 21st Amendment while you are at it. In for a penny and all.
He says his views on marijuana have shifted with time. He talked about it in the context of the many opioid deaths and PTSD treatment of veterans.
NOW you will see magoo go after someone.
Will you roll over for fedgov on the Second Amendment as easily as you do on the Tenth?

Many firearms are illegal and there are already massive restrictions and regulations on the rest. A very, very bad analogy to make.
“Many firearms are illegal and there are already massive restrictions and regulations on the rest.”
Which do you support => a) the ATF (or the state’s equivalent) in their enforcement of these laws; or b) the law-abiding citizens whose Second Amendment rights are being infringed by them?
Forty-five years ago I became interested in therapeutic nutrition as a result of severe stress. I am now 79 and will be heading back to the beach this week to get up on the roof and continue doing repairs caused by recent storms. Big Pharma can go #&$^#* itself.
Pot is not an entry level drug. Tobacco and booze are. I once knew a cocaine user who wished it was easier to get hold of MJ. He died of cocaine use lung failure.
There's probably a lot of physical therapy work that stems from injuries from people going and ****ing themselves. ;^)
“Boehner makes “Stormy Daniels” look like a Girl Scout at a convent with a chastity belt ...”
Exactly. Well said.

Just pointing out how flawed your argument is in the hopes that youll stop using it. I support that.

You knew ...one... cocaine user who had the dumbest dealer in America who couldnt get street weed for him, too? Sure.
I know a cubic ton of coke/crack/toot users, and meth/m-amp, amph, and kratom, spices/synthc, china/heroin/tar/fen/carfen, opi, bzo...etc, hundreds. Several with manf backgrounds. A ton of dealers. Ive been in labs, trap houses, meth hives for years.
Guess what they all start with?
Of course, multi year, first hand experience with hundreds of users over a wide varity of backgrounds doesn’t mean jack to most pro pot people; bc they know everything. Mhmm.
