"Thank you, Tim and Bonnie, for getting out this information about Jack's condition. I would like to let everyone know that the nurses had put a body ice-pack on him to bring his temperature down, not a chemical, and they had to induce the coma to keep his body from shivering. This is a procedure they use to minimize damage to his brain. He was also put on a ventilator and pain medication. After about 24 hours, they started to warm him up and then wait another 48 hours before trying to bring him out of the induced coma. Jack's doctor told Jack's assistant, Chuck Jacobs and I, that it may take several days for him to wake up, and that he had had a "small" heart attack. He said that Jack's vital signs were stable and that we wouldn't know until he wakes up, what damage was done. As Chuck and I watched him laying there, we sensed that his strong will and his pledge to his "teacher, partner and friend", Edwin "Captain Ed" M. Adair III that "we'd swear to work everyday to legalize marijuana and get all pot prisoners out of jail, until we were dead, marijuana was legal, or we could quit when we turned 84." would motivate him to fight to come back to us all. Jack is still with us and with the incredible outpouring of love from people around the world, I believe he is coming back to us soon!"
Lets All Hope this is true.
Dadgum it! I heard he passed away today too! This is a sad, sad day for me today. I am so sorry for the loss to the hemp and mmj movement. See ya when I see ya old buddy!We're pullin' for ya' old buddy.
I first met Jack when I was doing a research paper at CSUBakersfield on The Ethical, Economic, and Evnironmental Reasons to Legalize Marijuana and Hemp back in 89. We met at Venice Beach, and I have respected his work ever since. His love for his work is inspiring.
We're pullin' for ya' old buddy, we're pulling for ya'.
