| "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer summarizes the remarkable research findings of recent years about the cancer-protective effects of novel compounds in marijuana. Most medical doctors are not aware of this information and its implications for prevention and treatment. If we need more evidence that our current policy on cannabis is counterproductive and foolish, here it is. An excellent film. " -Andrew Weil, M .D |

Jack Herer: 1939-2010
From the Huffington Post.
Jack Herer, father of the modern hemp movement, passed away last Thursday, April 15, in Eugene, Oregon, his wife Jeannie at his side. Herer's health had been more than struggling since a debilitating heart attack in September 2009, when Herer was kept alive for over twenty minutes using CPR before help could arrive.
Herer's greatest claim to fame is his seminal 1985 hemp history exposé , The Emperor Wears No Clothes. In a feat of self publishing success, The Emperor has sold nearly three quarters of a million copies in eleven releases, and has been translated into twelve different languages.
The sparks of marijuana mania were ignited for Herer with his first joint in 1969. At thirty years old, the ever headstrong Herer had been told by friends and family for years that the mellowing herb might be a good idea, but none of them could have predicted the effects that toke would have on the future of both the man and the plant.
