Ex-CA Attorney General To Distribute Marijuana: Report

LOS ANGELES, CA -- A former California politician who served in many roles will soon distribute recreational marijuana in Los Angeles. Bill Lockyer, who served as the attorney general from 1999 to 2007, has formed C4 Distro, which will distribute the drug, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Aside from his role as the attorney general, Lockyer served in the state Legislature from 1973 to 1998 and was the state treasurer from 2007 to 2015.

The Los Angeles Times said Locyker has formed the company with Eric Spitz, who once led parent company of the Orange County Register.

"The businessmen aim to get their products to pot shops in L.A. in late January or early February," the newspaper reported. "(Lockyer) said he sees his involvement in the marijuana industry as a mixture of helping to pay for his kids’ college tuition and public service to help the new regulations work."
