Jack Herer
On the front lines of the War on Marijuana for more than 40 years ... revered for saving hemp from oblivion with his 1985 underground classic "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," which the San Francisco Bay Guardian calls "the most popular pro-decrim book in the history of modern prohibition" ... Jack Herer is also famous for a strain of pot bearing his name (mighty fine strain, so we’re told).

"Emperor of Hemp" DVD

SPECIAL BONUS FEATURES

HEMP FOR VICTORY
This 1942 U.S. government propaganda newsreel urged American farmers to grow the illegal hemp plant to help the war effort. Patriotic then ... handcuffs today ... go figure. Until Jack Herer authenticated the film in 1988, the federal government had denied its existence ... today wishes it had never been made. Uncle Sam, your hyprocrisy's showing. 14 minutes.

EXCLUSIVE NEW INTERVIEWS
We combed through hours of our original interviews with Jack and culled some 20 minutes of gems that didn't make "Emperor of Hemp," including his experiences dealing with bureaucrats, toking for the first time, and writing a book in jail.
