The hempen hero collapsed backstage on Saturday, September 15, at "Hempstalk 2009" in Portland, Oregon. Herer had just given a fiery speech to the crowd on the future of hemp when he suffered a heart attack and a significant loss of oxygen.
A former Goldwater Republican, Herer became a political activist and the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, a book which is now a classic polemic in the effort to decriminalize marijuana. Herer is perhaps the world's most famous activist for the decriminalization of marijuana and the utilization of hemp.
Jack argued for the legalization and utilization of marijuana because it has been shown to be a renewable source of fuel, food, and medicine, and can be grown in virtually any part of the world. Jack was one of the first to show that the U.S. government deliberately hides the proof of marijuana's efficacy and utility.
Jack suffered a stroke and heart attack in 2000 at another Oregon event. Although he had since somewhat recovered, the 70-year-old activist spoke with a stutter and walked with a limp. Just minutes before his speech, Jack looked fit and said, "I'm getting better and better and better. I'm healthier than I've been..."
Jack devoted his life to end the prohibition of Cannabis/Hemp/Marihuana.
Jack is a true American hero who spoke truth to power. He stood up for freedom while many others failed to do so.
We love you Jack.
