There are also sections dedicated to the history of legality surrounding cannabis, the dirty politics that lead to such policies, and just who exactly has profited from such laws.

-About the Author-

Very few people in the cannabis/hemp space do not know who Jack Herer was.

Jack was a solid ally for all cannabis proponents for over 30 years as he had dedicated much of his life to the cause. He started as a seller of glass pipes and ended up becoming a well-known activist and author in the marijuana culture. Many modern activists and cannabis proponents cite Herer as a key influence and inspiration.

Jack Herer was inducted into the “Counter Culture Hall of Fame”, was on the frontlines of the legalization battle, and has a potent sativa-dominant strain named in his honor.

It is also worth noting that this modernized version of “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” was updated by Bruce Michael Dietzen. Dietzen is an entrepreneur with a passion for introducing Carbon Negative Fiber hemp products as solutions to existing industries.
