Scotts Miracle-Gro, one of the most recognizable names in lawn and garden care, is expanding its business beyond suburban backyards.
The company is the main financial backer of New Jersey's marijuana legalization effort, according to a New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission report reviewed by Politico.
It has donated $800,000 to committees that are in favor of the initiative, according to Politico, which is about 60% of the $1.3 million funding the push to legalize weed in the Garden State.
The move must be sitting right with investors as the company's stock is up more than 56% year-to-date.
