Wrestling icon, Hollywood action star, and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura is making history! He's partnering with Retro Bakery to launch Jesse Ventura Farms, marking the first time an elected U.S. official has launched and is putting their name on a cannabis brand. This is a monumental moment for cannabis legalization, and Ventura, a longtime advocate for marijuana reform, is putting his legacy where his mouth is.

“A lifelong dream has finally come true! Thanks to a diverse group of creative and dynamic individuals who have been working diligently over the last few years, I can finally announce that today, Gov. Jesse “The Body” Ventura, is in the cannabis game," said Ventura. "I can’t tell you how truly amazing this feels. To finally be able to LEGALLY share with you, products from a plant that has had such an amazing impact on my life. Not to mention the historical significance of being the first U.S. Governor to officially put his name on a cannabis brand. Each step brings us closer to finally ending this tragic and dangerous war on drugs. Alright people, let’s make some history... together.”

Jesse Ventura Farms aims to celebrate these positive qualities and offer high-quality cannabis products fused with the Governor’s passion and wildly unique style to consumers nationwide.
