Jack Herer, Emperor of Hemp

Jack’s message is even more important today as the planet spirals into energy wars, enviormental calamity, and bio-engineered foods. Check out his website: Jack Herer.com it’s a rush whether it’s the first time you read his stuff of the tenth. Hail Jack Herer, definately a-head of his time.


Jack's famous book ' The Emperor Wears No Clothes' taught us how and why hemp was criminalized, taught us that recreational pot use is 5000 years old and that there has never been even one death from its use. Jack taught us that hemp is a miracle plant who's use is supressed by the oil industry, agribusiness and corrupt church interests. Jack taught us a lot and we owe him our thanks and much more.

Jack is currently recovering from a heart attack in an Oregon medical facility. We're sending a special package of good vibes to Jack and his family and hopes for his speedy return to the trenchs. The Herer family is running Jack Herer.com until Jack returns to fighting form. The website now features 'The Hemp Headline News' a cool resource for potheads, hemp farmers and mudittes alike.

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the greenhouse effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same one that has done it before . . .
