Jack Herer was a cannabis activist in a class of his own that helped pave the way for the men and women of the movement we see today. The impact he made on legal cannabis in America will never be duplicated but his work has inspired many and will continue to aid in the fight towards complete legalization.

The Hemperor

In hopes of finding evidence that cannabis caused damage to the immune system, a federally funded study by the Medical College of Virginia in 1974 instead found that cannabis actually inhibited tumor growth. This study was quickly shut down and orders were made by the DEA and the National Institute of Health to end all tumor-related cannabis research. A Madrid study done in 2000 led by Dr. Manuel Guzman found that THC destroyed inoperable brain tumors in rats. No major US newspapers carried the story.
