Jesse Ventura is the former independent governor of Minnesota. He is also a former US Navy frogman, a professional wrestler, a movie actor, a visiting fellow at Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and the New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including American Conspiracies, 63 Documents the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read, and Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me! He was the host and executive producer of truTV’s Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, which won the Stony Award from High Times magazine in 2010. He was also the host of the political talk show Off The Grid, which aired on RT America and online at Ora.tv. He has a reputation as a rebel and a freethinker, and he has no qualms about questioning authority. He spends half the year in Baja, Mexico and the other half in his home state of Minnesota. Jen Hobbs has been a publicity consultant for the greater part of her career, representing Oscar and Emmy award-winning clients as well as politicians and authors. She has worked behind-the-scenes with Jesse Ventura since 2007 and shares his enthusiasm for searching for the truth, no matter where it leads. In 2016, she co-authored Jesse Ventura’s Marijuana Manifesto, which inspired the content for this book. After visiting and living in several states and countries, Hobbs now resides in O’Fallon, Missouri with her husband, Andrew, and daughter, McKayla, and currently employs her artistic talents through her art and custom jewelry company Hobbs Superior Handmade Supply.
"Right now, more celebs than ever are jumping on the 'Legalize'
bandwagon. Why? Because it’s safe now. It won’t impact your career
anymore. But Jesse Ventura has been a solid proponent of legal
cannabis for decades. In Jesse Ventura’s Marijuana Manifesto, he
lays out the good sense of legalization, as well as the sheer
insanity of prohibition. As a proud American, he pulls no punches
calling out the political elite. - Dan Skye, High Times
editor-in-chief
"Ventura is ultimately quite convincing about the ineffectuality of
the War on Drugs, and on the contradictions and corruptions of the
Drug Enforcement Administration, a particular bugbear of his." -
Michael Lindgren, The Washington Post
"As an ex-governor of a Midwestern state as well as an ex-Navy
SEAL, Vietnam War veteran who currently lives in a solar-powered,
off-the-grid location on the Baja Peninsula, Mr. Ventura is in
quite the unique position to weigh in on ending the fruitless "War
on Drugs" and the legalization of cannabis in the United States. In
Jesse Ventura's Marijuana Manifesto, he lays out a common sense,
well-researched, and well meant point of view. I'm in." - Henry
Rollins
"Gov. Ventura clearly understands the failure of marijuana
prohibition and the damage it has caused in terms of liberty,
economic burden, and human suffering. This book represents an
innovative way forward." - Morgan Fox, Communications Manager,
Marijuana Policy Project
"Governor Ventura presents a compelling argument that Medical
Marijuana is about Rights, not Rules." - Steve Kubby
We have a lot in common
we both like fanny packs, we both don’t
know how to skate, we both like pot
Jesse Ventura for president
2020. Make it happen, folks!” - Joe Rogan
If people really knew the history of marijuana prohibition laws,
they would demand repeal. In other words, read Jesse Ventura’s
book!” - Judge James P. Gray; former Superior Court Judge of Orange
County, CA and 2012 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential Nominee
"Jesse Ventura's Marijuana Manifesto is an up-to-date and well
researched pro-pot polemical that, like the former Minnesota
Governor himself, delves into areas that most conventional media
outlets, commentators and politicians shy away from. Ventura is
both praiseful and critical of the emerging cannabis industry, its
lobbyists, and the types of legal and cultural precedents these
changes are currently having on the nation and world. There are a
multitude of well published books today regarding cooking with
cannabis, cultivating it, medicinal use, and even adult cannabis
coloring books, but for serious readers looking for a more
substantive political discussion about America's changing cannabis
laws, Jesse Ventura's Marijuana Manifesto will not disappoint." -
Allen St. Pierre, Executive Director of NORML
"Ventura's opinions can seem one moment fringe and conspiratorial
and the next completely reasonable, and sometimes both at once. He
has always been a maverick, afraid of nobody, and trusting of few."
- Brian Blickenstaff, VICE Sports
"Though we often disagree and I told him so, from the safety of
my phone I’m glad Jesse’s out there... He is our first amendment
incarnate... In a world of corporate shills and empty talking
points, I’ll drink a cup of conspiracy with my free speech every
single time. Now, somebody, please hire the guy for God sakes! And
buy his book!" - Steve Faktor, Forbes contributor
"Jesse Ventura is a truth-teller who doesn't care who he pisses
off. He proves it again in this timely book." - Roger Stone, New
York Times Bestselling author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy
"In his new book, Jesse Ventura’s Marijuana Manifesto, which he
co-wrote with Jen Hobbs, Ventura offers a lucid, rights-based
defense of marijuana legalization." - Sean Illing, VOX.com
"A well-reasoned argument for ending prohibition, but it truly
stands out as an obsessively researched and detailed indictment
against the Drug War and its many profit-motivated warriors." -
