The Emperor Wears No Clothes: Jack Herrer and the Hemp Revolution


Listen Later

Jack Herrer, a charismatic figure, spearheaded a movement advocating for hemp legalization in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His self-published book, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes,” highlighted hemp’s historical and industrial uses, arguing that its prohibition was a result of corporate conspiracies. Herrer’s activism, often fueled by psychedelics, galvanized a new generation of hemp advocates. The movement gained traction, leading to the establishment of organizations promoting hemp’s industrial applications, while facing challenges from those seeking to distinguish industrial hemp from marijuana. Despite setbacks, Herrer’s passionate advocacy significantly impacted the growing cannabis reform movement.
