YOU Can Be A Star!

Wow! I am feeling so inspired right now... two of my favorite Temple Dragons wrote a song about ME?! and my Alice-In-Wonderland-like journey round the world with Jack Herer's Emperor Wears No Clothes documentary and this volunteer-run Hemp Can Save The Planet blog.

I LOVE it when my famous friends write songs about me! But this one has extra special sentimental value to me and will be going on the upcoming Hemp Hemp Hooray Soundtrack vol. 2! & there will be a fun Behind-The-Scenes music video on the Special Features of the DVD! In honor of Inspiration: Pass It On... and believing in achieving your most impossible of dreams through perseverance and a little pizzaaz... stay tuned to High Times to find out how YOU can WIN A HIGH TIMES' EXCLUSIVE CHANCE TO BE A STAR! Win a part in Jack Herer's Emperor Wears No Clothes alongside your favorite Temple Dragons, and Freedom Fighters like B-Real of Cypress Hill, Native Wayne, pro-wrestler Rob Van Dam, Pauley Perrette, Danny Glover, Melissa Etheridge, Willie Nelson, Redman, Zack Ward, Scott Levy, and Governor Gary Johnson.

Thanks to B-Real & Cypress Hill; Brian Valdez, Veeda Armstrong & Robert Mattison III of Guerilla Union, for making sure that Jack Herer's Emperor Wears No Clothes doc had a presence at this historic event hosting the first Medical Marijuana Patient Area at a major concert event in Southern California! Wow, I can barely remember attending the very first Cypress Hill Smoke-Out back in 1998! CUT TO: 2010 & I had the honor of speaking on the Reefer Movie Madness Panel with Jeff "the Dude" Dowd, Jack Herer Award Nominee for Outstanding Hemp Awareness through Journalism Shirley Halperin, and CelebStoner's Steve Bloom! I have spoken as a FilmMaker on prestigious panels at Cannes, the Berlinale, Sundance, Cinequest, and the Inauguration, but this particular panel was of the Most High ;)

When I interviewed B-Real after Jack Herer's memorial service at the THC Expose, he told me how Steve Bloom first introduced them, and how Jack immediately gifted & signed up a book for B-Real and the band to read on tour. That continued the Hemp Education all across the nation... with Cypress Hill reprinting missives from The Emperor Wears No Clothes in their cd jackets & promotional leaflets. Thanks to all of our Hemp Can Save The Planet Facebook Group Members for continuing Jack Herer's message! Soon we will be 4,200 strong!

Long Live Jack Herer, Free Eddy Lepp & all pot prisoners! Some festival goers swear you can see Jack Herer's image in the smoke unfurling from B-Real's giant joint...
