Former Democratic Gov. Jim Florio is adding a new title to his resume: adviser to a cannabis edibles manufacturing company.
Nuka Enterprises of Colorado is expected to announce Thursday that Florio will be joining the company's advisory board, and "will be supporting Nuka's expansion initiatives into New Jersey through his law firm, Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Capelli," according to a statement obtained by NJ Advance Media.
"The deal adds significant political and intellectual capital to Nuka's advisory board as the company brings its expertise, history of innovation, and market leadership to New Jersey," according to the announcement from Nuka Enterprises CEO Peter Barsoom.
"As the state moves rapidly toward adult use legalization and an expansion of medicinal programs, Governor Florio and Nuka will bring their insights, experience and resources to New Jersey legislators, organizations and businesses to ensure responsible development and implementation of new policies," the announcement said.
