KTVA reporter quits on-air, reveals herself as owner of Alaska Cannabis Club​

Reporter Charlo Greene quit on-air during KTVA-TV's 10 p.m. newscast Sunday, revealing herself as the owner of the medical marijuana business Alaska Cannabis Club and telling viewers that she would be using all of her energy to fight for legalizing marijuana in Alaska.

Greene had reported on the Alaska Cannabis Club during Sunday night’s broadcast, without revealing her connection to it. At the end of the report, during a live shot, she announced that she was the club's owner and would be quitting.

“Now everything you've heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska," she said. "And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, fuck it, I quit.”

And with that, she walked off camera.

Nice. That will definitely be in someone's top 10 YouTube video regarding 2014 News bloopers, fails, etc. And even though I don't know her, nor knew about her until seeing the video, I'm really proud of her for standing up for her beliefs - even if that means (or rather meant as she has "been terminated") career suicide.

Totally love that movie. One the best stoner flicks ever.

Right up there with The Big Lebowski.

Edit - Many a time I reflect upon what could have been with respect to Chappelle Show, if only he had continued Season 3 and beyond.
