Jack Herer Has Died
The Examiner reports that The Emperor of Hemp, Jack Herer, has died. Jack Herer, much beloved Emperor of Hemp and marijuana hero. is dead at age 70. Herer was a tireless advocate in the battle to end marijuana prohibition. He was perhaps the world's most famous activist for the decriminalization of marijuana and the utilization of hemp.I met Jack in 1993 at a Rally in Rockford put on by then Rockford NORML director E.J. Pagel. Jack gave the greatest hugs. He will be missed. If you haven't already, may I suggest reading a copy of Jack's book: You can also see a video about Jack's life: Emperor of Hemp: The Jack Herer Story It is narrated by Peter Coyote who I used to know from a time long ago in a galaxy far away. The US Government did have a few good things to say about hemp at one time. Hemp for Victory. You may also like Hemp in Illinois. Some history about a time when the government wanted citizens to grow hemp. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 04.16.10 at 01:48 AM |

Very sad. I never actually made a Rcokford NORML meeting but I still have their pamphlet from around 1995.
