In 2018 Boehner joined the board of Acreage Holdings, a cannabis corporation, to promote the medical use of cannabis and advocate for federal de-scheduling of the drug (a shift from his previous stance while in Congress).[90] In 2019 Boehner was named chair of the National Cannabis Roundtable, a cannabis lobbying organization.[91]
