In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Magic Johnson was one of the special guests in the long list of episodes from the talk show host. During their conversation, Kimmel brought out a product from the medical industry, which used his name for its branding. It was a new strain of cannabis sold by the company gLeaf named ‘Magic Johnson’. Kimmel asked the Los Angeles Lakers legend if he knew this product existed with his name. Magic confessed that he did not, playfully remarking that he would soon profit from it.

Kimmel explained that the product gives the consumer a ‘giddy euphoria’ according to the description. He compared that to how Magic plays basketball. Johnson agreed that it might be true but then said, “I never got high“.

It led to Kimmel asking if there was a policy for using this at his company, ‘Magic Johnson Enterprises’. To this, Magic jokingly said, “I don’t know, and I don’t wanna know. Whatever you do that I don’t know, that’s on you“. Having made his own investment in CBD, Magic Johnson is not a stranger to this business.
