Jesse Ventura to Burnett: ‘I’ll Send You [Cannabis] Care Package, You Won’t Have to Have Me on Anymore’

EXCERPT:

VENTURA: “The point is this -- more people like me who are stepping forward. I'm putting my face on marijuana. I've teamed up with Retro Bakery. It's called Ventura Farms and I'm going to shamelessly plug it now. And for everybody out there, that will be the focus of Jesse Ventura's life because so it saved my life. My wife was having seizures and our medicine couldn't help. Pharma did nothing. It couldn't help. Had to go illegally to Colorado at the time ten years ago and get cannabis. My wife since three drops under the tongue has not had a seizure since. And what angers me is that the insurance companies will pay for all the pharma stuff that don't work, but they won't pay for cannabis, which does work.
BURNETT: “Well, governor, thank you very much, and I appreciate you sharing that story --“ [crosstalk]
VENTURA: “Erin --“
BURNETT: “Yeah.”
VENTURA: “I'll finish by saying this -- we'll send you a care package. You won't have to have me on anymore. You can try it and you'll sell it for me.” (Laughter)
