Former senator to run marijuana company
By Matt Ferner, Huffington Post
Former Sen. Mike Gravel,D-Alaska, is the new CEO of a marijuana company that produces cannabis-infused products for both recreational and medical use, the company announced this week.
The Alaskan Democrat and 2008 presidential contender will lead KUSH, a subsidiary owned by Cannabis Sativa, Inc. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson serves as CEO of Cannabis Sativa, and Gravel is on that company’s board of directors.
KUSH will develop and market new marijuana-infused products under Gravel’s leadership, the company said in a press release.
Steve Kubby of South Lake Tahoe and chairman of the board at Cannabis Sativa, called Gravel a “true American hero” who “brings invaluable perspective” to the company.
Gravel served two terms in the Senate from 1969 to 1981, and was a candidate in the 2008 presidential race. He also has been an outspoken supporter of marijuana legalization and a staunch critic of the decades-long war on drugs.
They should hire all of this state’s liberal Senators with felony convictions and indictments as their numbers keep increasing and they need their normal line of work that involves corruption and violation of laws.
It is obvious to me that the legalization of pot is simply a money grab. It should blow over as the number of public companies on the OTC switch to pot cultivation.
Over production and corruption should soon kill the price.
Along with development of a reliable measure of when too much pot in your system is too much for driving etc.
With luck it is a fad.
Of course its a money grab. Everything is a money grab. The private sector grabs for money, the public sector grabs for money and individual citizens grab for money.
Dog gone it Slapshot, why didn’t you let me live in my world of make believe.
