Reports are trickling in as we get ready for 4/20, and the news is grim. It appears Jack Herer has passed away today in Eugene, Orgeon.

The sad news has been confirmed. Jack Herer, author of Emperor Wears No Clothes and renowned around the world for hemp activism, has died at 11:17 a.m. today, in Eugene, Oregon. Jack Herer suffered a heart attack last September just after speaking on stage at the Portland HempStalk festival. The last seven months have proven to be a huge challenge to the man, with several health issues making his recovery complicated.

Jack Herer's health has been poor lately, this last week there have been reports of the severity, and an outpouring of prayers on his behalf.

"It's shocking news, even after these last seven, trying months," said Paul Stanford, THCF Executive Director.

"Jack Herer has been a good friend and associate of mine for over 30 years. I was there when he had the heart attack at our Hempstalk festival and I know he wouldn’t appreciate the quality of life he's endured these last months. Still he will be greatly missed. I honor his memory."

"No other single person has done more to educate people all across the world about industrial hemp and marijuana as Jack Herer. His book is translated into a dozen different languages, it's a bestseller in Germany," added Stanford.

"The Hempstalk stage will forever be the Jack Herer Memorial stage. And, a Memorial is planned to be built where he fell that day," Stanford said.

"His legacy will continue to inspire and encourage for generations to come."

I hereby suggest five days of mourning for Jack, until 4-20 at 4:20pm, when everyone should be silent for minute in his honor, and in honor of all those living in prison due to cannabis prohibition.

Wow, I'm stunned. I knew he wasn't doing well, but wow...

He changed my life immeasurably. I'm honored that I was able to meet him when he was doing relatively well health-wise and seemed to be enjoying life immensely. I will never forget that time, nor the joint we all shared.

I can only say that it brings me some small amount of peace that he died just after doing what he loved: speaking the truth to people about cannabis!

May he rest in peace and may his words never be forgotten! Jack, we will see your dream come true, we promise!
