Former 49ers QB Joe Montana, partners invest $75M in marijuana business

Whether Joe Montana is being asked whether he or Tom Brady is the greatest of all-time or figuring out new investments, the 49ers Hall of Famer stays busy.

And his latest investment? Marijuana.

The three-time All-Pro quarterback plans to be part of a $75 million investment in the San Jose-based company, Caliva, as reported by TechCrunch. Yahoo's CEO Carol Bartz will also be a partner in said investment.

Caliva is a marijuana dispensary for adult and medical cannabis "flower" and products, and a successful one at that. Caliva grew its revenues by 350 percent and increased its employment by hiring 440 workers.
