Former Trailblazer, Current Broadcaster Antonio Harvey Set to Get Oregon Pot License

Oregon expects to issue its first batch of recreational marijuana licenses Friday to an eclectic mix of entrepreneurs including longtime marijuana growers and others new to the industry like former Trail Blazer forward Antonio Harvey who still works for the franchise as a popular radio personality.

Among others in the state’s newest crop of licensed pot growers: John Plummer, an owner of the trendy Doug Fir Lounge in Portland.

Harvey on Thursday told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he’s informed the Trail Blazers of his family’s plans to start a recreational cannabis business and that his contributions will be limited to that of an investor. He said his bosses asked him not to “flaunt” his role in the company.

“I don’t partake in marijuana,” he said. “I don’t use any of the products. For me, this was a business opportunity and a chance to support my wife and her family.” [Read more at the Portland Oregonian]
