A Deep Dive Into Jesse Ventura’s Work As A Cannabis Activists

In this audio podcast, we take a Deep Dive into former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura who in early 2024 launched a cannabis edibles brand. Jesse Ventura Farms is in partnership with Retro Bakery, which is owned by a group of black women and established in Minnesota. This marks the first time a former U.S. governor has put their name on a cannabis brand.

Ventura, a long-time cannabis legalization supporter, also sits down with Al Byrne for an interesting interview where he discusses how cannabis helped his wife overcome chronic seizures which led him to write his 2016 best selling book, 'Jesse Ventura's Marijuana Manifesto: How Lies, Corruption, and Propaganda Kept Cannabis Illegal'.

This podcast also includes 3 great songs - either written by or written about - some of the activists who have pioneered the Medical Cannabis Legalization Movement.

I got involved in the Hemp Movement in 1989 when I was hired by Jack Herer to run hiss office. I launched the cable television series ‘TIME 4 HEMP’ on January 5, 1991. Time 4 Hemp is the first TV series in the history of broadcasting to focus strictly on the topic of cannabis. This has given me the dubious honor of being ‘The Father Of Marijuana Television’.
