Former New Mexico Governor Goes Into the Marijuana Business

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson has been hired to run a Nevada-based company that hopes to make medical and recreational marijuana products. Yesterday Johnson announced he would become the CEO and president of Cannabis Sativa, Inc. The company plans to develop products to sell in Colorado and Washington where marijuana is legal.

The former Libertarian presidential candidate says the company will make marijuana-based oils aimed at helping children with epilepsy. He also says it will make cough drop-like products for recreational use. Cannabis Sativa also announced it has acquired marijuana research company Kush and named that company's founder, Steve Kubby, as its chairman.

Kubby was the 1998 Libertarian Party nominee for California governor.
