My "godfather" Jack Herer, the emperor of hemp, has passed away after complications from his heart attack last year when we traveled together to his last HempStalk/ Hempstock hempfest....

Preparing to work Topanga Earth Day this weekend, which will luckily be in attendance with alot of powerful native american medicine people, prayers, dancing, and Buffy St. Marie headlining.....

I really can't even deal with this right now or take it all in......lots of trippy stuff happening lately.....all day driving around town, i had to fight back tears to get thru the day

***
Pray for a safe journey for Jack on his way back home to Spirit.

Rest In Peace, Jack........love ya big guy!

*****this was the first article i came across on-line:

Jack Herer was a great writer and activist. He wrote books like “Grass” and “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”. He was a great advocate of the legislation of cannabis. He has died at the age of 70. Reason for his death was stated to be natural causes. There was no complication about his death, nor was there any controversy or unsure incident. His friends and family departed him with love.

He was well known for his political stature because he stood for the post of president of the US two times. He received a lot of votes as well as he had a lot of supporters because of his views.

In casual circles he was called the emperor of hemp, because of his lifelong support for cannabis. He was definitely a very fun and easy going guy, who had a lot of knowledge and a unique point of view.
All his life he has been trying to get the plant of Marijuana legalized, not so that it could be served as a source of a drug, but as a source of food and medicine. He also said that the Marijuana plant can be effectively used for producing cheap fuel and it can be grown anywhere on earth. It grows on all terrains and on all kinds of soil. He was very much against the fact that the US government was hiding all the good factors of the plant and denying the people of the US all the utilities that plant could provide. That is the reason he tried to fight elections for president, so that he could change the system with his own hands.
