Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, who has been a strong supporter of cannabis legalization, is launching his own edible brand on 4/20.
Ventura partnered with Retro Bakery — a Minnesota Black woman-owned business in Brooklyn Center — to create hemp-derived products. While his website doesn’t list his products, there is one photo of bag of 10 gummies called the “Lake Street Collection”
Retro Bakery CEO Mason Alt says the products will be as unique as the former governor.
“We have a Baja-flavored gummy, so that kind of gives us homage to his favorite vacation spot down in Baja. We also have a Hunter’s Blood milk chocolate bar, kind of like an orange chocolate bar. That’s going back to maybe his Predator movie days,” Alt said. “Eventually, kind of like a Jesse Ventura, pre- and post-workout line with cannabis infusions, you know, something that’ll help you get amped for your workout, one that’ll help you simmer down from it.”
Alt says the partnership started after he and Ventura started chatting at First Avenue’s legalization event in August.
