Ricky Williams to Run Marijuana-Friendly Gym Power Plant Fitness in California

Former NFL running back Ricky Williams is set to assume a key role in Power Plant Fitness, a marijuana-friendly gym expected to open this fall in San Francisco.

Greg Rajan of My San Antonio noted Friday that Williams is a partner in the operation and will serve as the company's spokesperson. 420 Games executive Jim McAlpine co-founded the business and told Trace William Cowen of Complex (warning: NFSW language) he's excited to have the former football star on board.

"Having [Williams] as a partner is f--king awesome because he exemplifies a successful and very athletic person who also uses cannabis," McAlpine said.
