Magic Johnson hilariously stays mum when asked about marijuana policy at his company: "I don't wanna know"

Magic Johnson had a hilarious response when asked about the marijuana policy for his companies. Johnson recently joined the billionaire athletes list, and most of his fortune came from his life insurance company and investments in sports franchises.

The LA Lakers legend appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to discuss a variety of topics. One of the topics Kimmel brought up was the marijuana strain named after him, which is a rare sativa-dominant hybrid strain.

​

"I don't if you're away of this, but there's a cannabis strain named after you. Did you know that?" Kimmel asked.

"I didn't know that, and I'm gonna get rich now," Johnson jokingly replied.

Kimmel then asked Johnson if he had a cannabis-use policy in his companies, and the five-time NBA champ was mum:

​

"I don't know, and I don't wanna know either (laughs). Whatever you do I don't know, that's on you."

What is Magic Johnson marijuana strain?

The Magic Johnson marijuana strain was developed by the cannabis company gLeaf from Virginia. It's 75% Sativa and 25% Indica and is a cross between the Durban Poison and The White strains.

This bud has as classic sweet woody pine flavor with a light sour citrus exhale. The aroma is earthy and pungent with a woody overtone that turns sour as the nugs are broken apart and burned."
