Jack Herer was never an elected law-maker who could formally shape policy. Nor was he some billionaire who could buy influence. Yet his rare combination of brilliant intellect, endless curiosity, scholarly diligence and passionate people skills made him a force of nature whose impact is perhaps only just beginning to be truly felt.

    • Read the portions of the book online....but the book includes more and the money helps the cause and the legacy.....plus it is easy to pull the book off the shelf and share.

    • Jack Herer is on of my few hero's. I watched Jack Herer on "The Morning Exchange" in Cleveland, I was astounded by the things he was saying. He talked about his book titled, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes". He talked about documentation to back up the facts. OMG I had to get that book!

      I called the station and was told, they had no information about Jack Herer, or his book. The next Sunday in the Cleveland Plain Dealer Sunday Magazine, they featured a book store, which sold books on everything, including how to make explosives. On Monday, I called the book store. The gentleman who answered the phone, told me that was a 'taboo subject' and they didn't carry it.

      A month or two later, I found the book. I read it from cover to cover. The entire second half of the book, is actual copies of the facts contained in the front of the book.

      I thought OMG, things must change now. I shouldn't be considered a criminal! I had the facts! Who could deny the evidence? They all could! As long as it's not discussed, it's not a fact? That's what happened! They don't talk about the book, thereby keeping the history of cannabis, out of the hands of ordinary Americans. Most people don't even know the book exists, or the importance of it. But, things are changing, people are learning facts removed from educational material.

      How convenient, they start a war on a plant, which has had it's history expunged from educational material in America. Why? Who benefited from the war on cannabis? I'd say, follow the money!
