A Nevada-based startup that plans on selling medical and recreational marijuana products named former New Mexico governor and U.S. Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson as its CEO and president, the company announced Tuesday.

The announcement came as Cannabis Sativa Inc. said it had acquired marijuana research business Kush while company officials work to navigate changing state laws on marijuana and potential challenges from the federal government, which still views marijuana as a controlled substance.

Johnson said he hoped to expand Cannabis Sativa into a major marijuana business and intends to work out of New Mexico to help develop products that are legal in states like Colorado and Washington.

Johnson could have been a U.S. Senator, but I guess he's living his dream.

So he's never making a serious run for office again.

If running a pot shop disqualifies you from a serious run for office (in the populace's eyes), then there wasn't any point in running in the first place.

Also a congressmen was recently indicted/arrested/busted: one for crack and one for selling serious weapons that he was trying to ban and that's besides all the hookers and blow.

Looks like they put a lot of thought into naming their company.

and it's a much better dream than being a U.S. Senator.

Some of us live in the real world.

Brilliant!Whoever nailed down the copyright or whatever it's called on that name deserves a raise.

Yes, why don't you join us?

 

[NewRightLibertarian]

Good for him. I didn't want him as a main figure of the libertarian movement anyway. Drugs seemed to be his best issue and he'll probably do better work at this weed company than he would have in politics.

 

[Weston White]

Great now if we can just get Ralph Nader to join him, then they can tag-team it. A true win-win-win for the liberty movement all around.

 

[Spikender]

Good to see this man getting a real job.

L O L. That's about all I've got for you.

At some point you have to think about your own happiness.
