These days, if the heart attack doesn't kill ya right away, you can come back from it. Take the meds, exersize daily, eat heart healthy, and no hazes, booze or coke. Four years after my heart surgery I am healthier than I was before it, I hope he can come back too. Best wishes from the prairie.

Damn shame , I gotta wonder if the 2 mile hike into the park played a factor

Thats exactly why I decided to skip it this year. F##* cramming onto a shuttle bus. Does breathing a high concentration of BO and patchouli cause heart attacks? Be well Jack!!

Guinea pigs are a traditional healing animal used in ancient Peruvian cultures.....the shamans would tie ribbons to the animal and then release it into the wild.....eventually the animal would find an ancient cave system which absorbs the bad health of the person and releases the illness back into the universe....

So we're praying for ya......hope you get to feeling better....

:ying: kind regards from guineapig :ying:

Man, what bad news. I left hempstalk yesterday after listening to him speak; as I rode my bike out I was wondering what was up with the firetruck with siren going pulling in to the park. Went back today and they announced that he was in stable condition.


Our thoughts are with you Jack!

Marijuana Author Jack Herer Collapses After Stage Appearance at Portland Hempstalk


Our thoughts go out to his wonderful wife Jeannie Herer, and we hope that Jack makes a full and speedy recovery


(PORTLAND, Ore.) - The most well known person in the world on the subject of marijuana, author Jack Herer, had a heart attack Saturday, after a fiery speech at the Portland Hempstalk Event at Kelly Point Park.

Ironically, Jack told our Doctor Phil Leveque, an old friend of his in the fight to legitimize and legalize marijuana, that he was feeling better Saturday than he had, "In the ten years."

Event staff came together quickly and called in the paramedic crew that treated Jack in the area backstage where he fell ill. Madeline Martinez, Executive Director of Oregon NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, says Jack didn't look like he felt well after the well received speech, and she told him he should get some water.

Shortly after that he apparently collapsed where he was sitting, and the emergency crews were called in. Bands kept playing and the medical personnel spent a considerable amount of time stabilizing Jack, before loading him in an ambulance and transporting him to the Emanuel Trauma Center in Portland.

Source report that Jack was in critical condition when he was admitted to the hospital with his son at his side. Soon after that, they were told that he was the victim of a heart attack, a result of arterial blockage.

Jack was was undergoing angioplasty surgery late Saturday.

Jack suffered a stroke several years ago that left him somewhat challenged in terms of speaking, but today more than one person watching him noted that his speech was much clearer than even the year before.

Jack Herer is beyond legendary with popular culture and his book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" is the largest and first account of the real story of marijuana and the techniques used by big money corporations to demonize and criminalize it.

There are no equals to Jack Herer; he is a friend of Salem-News.com and has personally helped us on more than one occasion in our research. Our thoughts go out to his wonderful wife Jeannie Herer and we hope that Jack makes a full and complete recovery.
