John Boehner to headline pot summit, advise investors on future of 'green gold rush'

[IsailedawayfromFR]

The swamp smells like weed, and John Boehner is scheduled to address the first ever "American Cannabis Summit: Countdown to Legalization."

The former House Speaker got into pot because he said medical marijuana could help combat the opioid epidemic and help veterans with PTSD. Now Boehner headlines an event that promises to offer “a roadmap for staking your claim to this 'green gold rush.'”

Boehner isn’t the one slinging dope, and he isn’t even a registered lobbyist. He signed on as a strategic adviser with lobbying shop Squire Patton Boggs and a board member with the pro-pot group Acreage Holdings, but a search of the Senate Lobbying Database shows no registration.

...In short, Boehner has loosened up. Apparently, so have his standards.

So John was puffing other than cigs.  Likely Barry is unhappy he was not selected as keynote speaker at forum.

Figures...I suppose there was a hidden reason behind his crying?
