Apr 12 John Boehner Pulls U-Turn On Marijuana Policy: Loves Weed: Is A Weed Guy: Rolls A Decent Joint: Is Very Chill About Sharing His Weed

John Boehner, the speaker of the House from 2011 to 2015, reversed a long-held stance against marijuana legalization on Wednesday, saying on Twitterthat “my thinking on cannabis has evolved.”

Mr. Boehner, a Republican leader who in 2011 told a constituent he was “unalterably opposed” to legalization, joined the board of advisers of Acreage Holdings, a cannabis corporation that operates in 11 states.

While the announcement might be viewed as a sign that cannabis is becoming a big business that can afford to ally with prominent names from the world of politics, Mr. Boehner cast it as a genuine change of heart.

Full story here.

All of the cynics who think John Boehner pulled the U-turn of the century on the marijuana plant because he took a massive payout can have a seat outside.

Is that plausible? Sure!

But the far more likely, truly possible option, is that John Boehner took a sniff of Mary Jane, and he likey. That's right, John Boehner smoked a bunch of the devil's lettuce and as soon as realized that it wasn't going to make him rob a liquor store or get a girl pregnant before marriage, he dug it. "Genuine change of heart..." Yeah dude we get it, you love weed now.

We've seen this transition a thousand times- the guy who's scared of weed until he realizes it's fun. John Boehner's a weed guy now. Very relatable. Very cool. He's no longer a guy who smokes his friends' weed, no John Boehner is buying his own weed: not only is John Boehner a weed guy, but John Boehner's GOT a weed guy now. Boehner's life is changing rapidly- ol' John boy, or Jman BluntBoiii as I hear he's going by now, is having more fun than he has ever known.

I bet you his speaking tour of liberal arts colleges really starts to pick up. Good luck getting in touch with my John Boehner, he's going to be knee deep in Girl Scout cookies and cool ranch Doritos, learning the intricacies of Super Smash Bros.

Sorry Paul Ryan, gotta find a new gym buddy. No way you're plying that drug rug off of Boehner's press-neglected shoulders.
