Gary Johnson Reveals The Last Time He Used Marijuana | The Daily Caller

He stressed he used marijuana responsibly, saying, “I occasionally use it.”

He added, “I haven’t had a drink of alcohol in 29 years.”

“For me when I smoked marijuana when I was 17 years old for the first time, the first takeaway was holy cow this is so much better than alcohol! There just doesn’t seem to be a downside,” said the former governor.

When marijuana was legalized in Colorado, the campaign focused on saying that weed is healthier for you than alcohol. Johnson envisions the same tactics getting marijuana legalized on the federal level. He did admit, “there’s a downside to doing any thing all the time.”

The former governor is no longer at Cannabis Sativa Inc., as he resigned Jan. 1 to focus on his presidential run. However, Johnson is confident he will have had an impact on marijuana far into the future.

The former governor told TheDC, “One of the assets that Cannabis Sativa has is a ‘Sativa lozenge.’ which I’m going to suggest is as good a marijuana high as exists on the planet. We can’t legally produce it anywhere because its strain specific.”

Sativa is one of the two main marijuana subspecies used for consumption — the other being Indica.

“I was directly responsible for bringing the ‘Hi’ brand,” said Johnson. He added, “200 years from now this Sativa lozenge will exist under the brand name Hi.”
