Yes... the old crying man-boy IS back ... why, you ask? He wants you HIGH!
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/boehner-republicans-marijuana-legalization/2021/04/17/id/1017995/"Boehner, after leaving office, had long opposed drugs while still a lawmaker, but
now is on the board of Acreage Holdings, one of the largest marijuana operations in the United States.
He also heads the National Cannabis Roundtable, which lobbies for drug legislation."
Oh.. I get it."Acreage and its investors needed President Trump and Republicans to lose across the board, and they need to retain control of the House and Senate long enough to legalize marijuana," writes Greenfield.
And that would mean
big bucks to Boehner, who could collect $1.5 million in cash once shareholders approve Canopy Growth's acquisition of Acreage Holdings, he said, quoting Bloomberg News.
Further, Bloomberg noted that
Boehner, at the time of the article in 2019, had 625,000 shares of Acerage and reported that if marijuana was made federally legal, he could get Canopy shares valued at around $16 million. Boehner, a founding board member of the National Institute for Cannabis Investors, has also been seen on video telling investors that the money is about to come because the marijuana ban is almost over.
"If Boehner’s financial situation hasn’t changed significantly, there are millions at stake," said Greenfield. "
Defeating Republicans in 2020 and 2022 would be in his financial interest."
