I wrote a paper on the legalization of marijuana in college in 1998. I used his book " The Emperor Wears No Clothes " for most of my references. That book pretty much schooled me on all the medical and industrial uses that cannabis has, not just recreational and religious. Jack Herer did so much to show people the many uses of cannabis, and to help make it legal for medicinal reasons, and get it decriminalized across the country. He is not just some pot head that grew awesome weed, or invented some new strain. Jack Herer was a true social activist, and a leader in the community. Colorado needs someone like him right now.
