The event is at 2 p.m. at 187 Riverside Square Mall, Hackensack.

In his book, Ventura lays out his philosophy on marijuana, and why he’s always been in favor of legalization. Now, more than ever before, our country needs to see full legalization of medical/recreational marijuana and hemp, Ventura writes in the book. Being a cash crop, marijuana is bad for the pharmaceutical industry, Ventura writes.

“Our government won’t do the right thing and legalize marijuana unless we the people demand it, because there are so many people within our government on the payroll, all thanks to the War on Drugs," Ventura writes.
