Last seen finishing second last November in his bid to remain the mayor of Hawthorne, young Chris Brown has flung open an unorthodox career door.
Now a professional cannabis consultant, Mr. Brown believes he is entering a profitable new world that will take a long jump forward in next November’s election.
Oozing confidence, Mr. Brown predicts, without hesitation, that California voters will agree to legalize marijuana, and the newest gold rush will be on.
If not then, legalization of recreational marijuana is no more than two years away, he says.
Already, heavyweight paychecks are streaming from curious cannabis pioneers into Mr. Brown’s bank account.
After a mercurial political run at Hawthorne City Hall, Mr. Brown, 34 years old, said yesterday that politics again will be his livelihood sometime in the future. Not just yet, though. He will be ready to return “in three or four years.”
For the fast-paced, steaming-hot present, Mr. Brown is working for Foxx, a law firm specializing in cannabis consultation.
“We help local municipalities that are interested in medical cannabis write ordinances that will fit their financial needs,” he recently told Black Enterprise.
“Most cities that we help are in some financial difficulty. They need millions in additional revenue.”
Mr. Brown said that legalization of medical cannabis is “a very lucrative business that will fill their budget shortfalls and create hundreds, if not thousands, of new jobs within the city.”
