NORML Remembers ‘The Hemperor’ Jack Herer

NORML: NORML Remembers ‘The Hemperor’ Jack Herer

'NORML is saddened to report the passing of Jack Herer, the founder of the modern day hemp movement. Jack suffered a heart attack after speaking at last year’s Portland Hempstalk event, and had been in a physician-induced coma for several days afterward. The past seven months have been a struggle to recover for Jack – he awakened from the coma and had been making progress in regaining his health. Friends and family confirm that Herer, known throughout the world as ‘The Hemperor,’ passed away on Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 11:07am Pacific Time in Eugene, Oregon. He was 70 years old.'

  1. A reasonable and informed voice has been quieted. With all hope, his message will be picked up and carried by another herald of a new order
