Jack Herer's Recovery

Thanks to a rousing Call To Action by Freedom Fighter, Richard Eastman, answered by Medical Marijuana Inc., Northwest Holistic Health, & Apothecary Genetics, we raised $2,000 yesterday at the Jack Herer's Call To Action Panel during the 1st Medical Marijuana Educational Expo at the LA Convention Center Theatre, on Sunday, January 17th!

My eyes teared up while I moderated the panel, to see attendees of this important Symposium, step up in the midst of the panel itself to bring up 100s and 20s... bringing the total amount raised for Jack's Recovery Fund during the unprecedented 2-day event hosted by America's first publicly traded Marijuana company- to a heartwarming $2,460!!!!

Since the bureaucracy of medical & legal red tape is holding up Jack Herer's finances, and slowing the very progression of his recuperation, it is really beautiful to see this compassionate community uniting together to support one of its fallen heroes in a serious time of need.

We spoke with Jeannie Herer via telephone during the conference, and she thanks everyone for their support during this incredibly difficult time, and wants you to know that this will move Jack forward to a private care environment, where he will be able to receive the Special Care we all know is integral to his recuperation.

In order to maintain his situation, several brands will be donating a portion of their proceeds to Jack Herer's Recovery Fund (Note: this is a private fund, NOT eligible for tax-write off). Thanks to BalinYoga for being the first to volunteer this show of support! Through the end of February, BalinYoga will donate 10% of every sale of The Golden Answer DVD towards the Recovery Fund of Civil Rights Activist, Jack Herer, while he recuperates from his recent heart attack. Please support the vendors that are supporting Jack in his time of need, and tell a friend: http://www.amazon.com/shops/BalinYoga

The Liberation of Hemp... on Facebook!

I am so proud of our TRULY "grass" roots movement! The U.S. Government alone spends millions (if not billions) of taxpayer dollars on Anti-Marijuana media campaigns that are propagating bogus scientific studies that have been debunked for over twenty years. Through generous donations of resources and sponsor support, we have kicked off 2010 with the David vs. Goliath propaganda battle of the decade for the Liberation of Hemp! We have a member-run Hemp Can Save The Planet Blog & a new Hemp Can Save The Planet Facebook Group with already over 1,000 members from all around the globe! These are not your mother's hippies... this is a group of modern, forward thinking individuals sharing relevant information and concerns regarding prohibition, legalization, and decriminalization. I am particularly proud of this new discussion thread "Hemp vs. Pot" that has sparked some pertinent international dialogue:

Please tell your friends to Join the Hemp Can Save The Planet Facebook Group and ask them to tell their friends and let the social networking begin! I know that if Jack Herer was better, he would be tweeting and rabblerousing from the Facebook Group to the new generation that will ultimately be responsible for voting in the Liberation of Hemp. Get better soon Jack!

Educate, Infiltrate & Propagate.
