God Bless Jack Herer 1939 - 2010
Earths #1 Cannabis Advocate
An American HERO we all can relate to.
Jack would say, "You Can't Beat A Fact"! ...and that's why WE all should Advocate.
Everyone must Read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer
Jack and Captain Ed (his Friend & Work partner), worked very hard and Sacrificed Much for decades to Educate The People on "What's Right"!
First we must have an educated society before WE may move forward. Knowledge is Key. Nearly All Media is controlled for "Their Interests", Not Yours! They Manipulate us all! "Knowledge" Brings the Power of Change!
None of Prohibition is True,
All of PotMan is Real.
Jack will always be a True American Hero
2019 - First of all, Everyone should Read the Book - "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" - by "Jack Herer". Available for Everyone to read for FREE online at: jackherer.com. or JackHererFoundation.org
Jack Herer was born in Brooklyn, NY, he Enjoyed Life and always enjoyed a Coney Island, Nathans Hot Dog.
Jack gave US inspiration and a message of Hope for Our Future! He ignited the Cause for re-utilization!
Jack started it all by publishing a book named "G.R.A.S.S." in 1973, then the Emperor Wears No Clothes in 1985. Readers were chimming in with various Information and each Edition was bigger than the last!
Not to be confused with the "childrens Book" by Hans Christian Anderson; "The Emporer Wears NEW Clothes".
Jack was prosecuted dozens of times, he went "out on a limb" time after time "for The People" whom he felt , he worked for.
We all should be Thankful for what he has done for US, even if you never heard of him.
Thanks to the Media, most People Never heard of Jack. He was Honorably discharged from the Military before Ever touching Pot! His life Changed when he discovered how Benign it was and how Good it made him Feel.
Most of US have no idea that Jack ran for president twice in the 90's! After I started to educate myself, Jack became my greatest role model.
I feel that Jack Herer and Rick Simpson are the 2 Humaitarians Responsible for our current Cannabis Resurgence!
Jacks Facts: Remember Everyone, We Have The Truth On OUR Side, and ya can't beat a FACT! We will always win.
Why Is Gas so Expensive? You see, the Big Oil and Big Pharma make more $ than anyone else on the planet. They Own the Media channels and Decide what We are Educated about!
Right now,dozens of States are Suing the Biggest Oil companies!!! Why? Because They All Lie about Petroleum Fuel!
Petroleum fossil fuels Kill 10,000 People Everyday worldwide.
They Lie and continue to Lie about it's Health Safety! Our President has been trying to do the Right thing, trying to do-away with FossilFuel and the Media makes him out to be the bad guy.
Hemp seed Oil is Superior to fossil Fuel and is considered the Finest Lubricant on Earth. Henry Fords 1941 Hemp Car was the Cleanest & Greenest Car Ever Made!!!
An except from "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", by Jack Herer:
"If All fossil Fuels & their Derivatives, as well as as Trees for paper (& now cardboard) and Construction Materials were "Banned" in order to Save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and Stop Deforestation; then there is only 1 known annually renewable, natural resource that is Capable of providing the overall majority of the worlds; paper, plastics & textiles; meet All of the worlds transportation, industrial and home energy Needs, provide about 30-70% of the worlds medicines, WHILE; reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere, providing clean oxygen, all at the same time! ...and that substance is the same one that has done it before, for the last 5 to 10 thousand years, until about 130 years ago".
Help Advocate in order to Unite this country with "Proper Education" about the "Everything Plant", meant to be Utilized in "nearly Everything".
The Everything Plant makes everything Better.
"They Lied about everything, about the Everything Plant"!

"Man-Made Destruction" - "They Lie about Everything, about the Everything Plant!"
In 2012, Two years after Jacks passing, his spirit passes the Torch to PM & CC.
This is an updated remake of the 2014 black & white cartoon and also a sequel to 2019 "Cannabisolutions".
The following is a Description of this 2022 Oil Painting "Cannabisolutions 2" :
- The Spirit of Jack Herer passes the Torch because it's not too late to Educate to Utilize Hemp like Mankind was supposed to for the last 85 years.
Utilizing will create Carbon Capture, Carbon Dioxide Sequestering, Oxygen Saturation and Toxic Decontamination of Landfills and FarmLands.
- The Torch represents How Humans Take Care of "Our Earth" and Neglecting the Utilization of Hemp, which happens to be Our SOLUTION!
It also has an Hourglass Indicating how little Time We have left to Mitigate Our Earth with Hemp! We All are Stewards to Protect Our Home (Earth) & abundant Peace & Harmony.
- PotMan is Optimistic once Everyone is Properly Educated, they will Support Growing & Selling Hemp, Used in All Industries for the Production of Nearly Everything!
Henry Ford created the World's Greenest & Cleanest Car "Ever Made" so far, 4.7 times better for the Earth than Today's Electric Cars, and this Information is Still being Suppressed!!!
Back in Henry's day, "Half of all Americans were Farmers" and then 1937 prohibition made it "illegal to Grow HEMP"! Ford had 25k people Living off-grid utilizing Hemp Oil as Fuel, Lubricants, ect.
The Biggest corporations backed Prohibition (for Profit) and "WE" were Not supposed to find out it was Never about getting high but Really about suppressing the Everything Plant, "Hemp"!
- Courteous Cannabis Represents "World SUSTAINABILITY" and is Capable of 50,000+ Man-Made Improvements including Biologic And Fuels, Energy, Batteries, ect.
By helping to support the bottom (foundation) of the torch which represents How cannabis was the Backbone of All Ancient civilizations throughout human history.
- The Background shows how, over Time, the Earth Suffers from Non Cannabis Utilization, Henry Ford said; "Why use up Natural Resources when Hemp produces the equivalent"?
The canvas Background has 3 dimensional Ripples or Waves that represent electromagnetic radiation or radar waves. It's "wi-fi" that starts small and then Saturates the Sky increasing Our planetary degradation.
Courteous Cannabis says:
I am Not a Weed,
All other Plants I Exceed,
Health & Nutrition I Feed,
Earth's Most Useful Indeed,
Still Not Utilized because of Greed!
Education will bring Utilization of Cannabis creating Better Health and Superior Products including:
Finally Growing the Healthiest Foods, grow for Barter & Trade and to Sell to New Business' & Corporations,
All While Mitigating CO2 that Causes Global Warming, Purifying Toxic Environments and Adding 4 times the Oxygen as Forests of Trees.
Demand Utilization Now like WE were Supposed to Utilize over the Last 85 YEARS!
Jack Herer, Rick Simpson, PotMan & Courteous Cannabis are Super Heroes!
Presently, there is no artwork with Rick Simpson, but you can plan on seeing him in Future Art.
Rick Simpson Educated Me Through social media & Youtube!
My whole life, I thought pot was badfor you. It took until 2012 for me to Learn the Truth, Rick, informing everyone since he found out, in 2003.
He then Healed 5k, out of 5k people.
Thank God for Rick Simpson, who re-established Cannabis Oil success in 2003! After watching him on Youtube, it was a New Beginning! I was blown away by finding out what Cannabis Can Do! Watching the Rick Simpson Videos on Youtube was my Awakening to a legitimate Cancer Cure.
Continued Research proved what massive Potencial the plant has Biologically and Environmentally.
Rick Simpson says, "Everyone ought to have a Gallon of R.S.O. on hand".
- Humanitarian Potencial of the "Everything Plant" Will "Unite Everyone".
PotMan wants to Help Educate so We may Heal Ourselves and the Earth.
When I was 16, got a job at a gas station and then I created the cartoon character "PotMan"(P.M.). However, in the 1980's, President Reagans; War on Drugs, "Just Say No", campaign was "everywhere"!
President Nixon originally Started the War on Pot", it was Reagan who re-Ignited the War.
President Reagan actually said; "Marijuana is probably the Most DANGEROUS Drug to the United States"!...so this "war on pot", and the fact that my Grandfather was a Grand Marshall Freemason, added to my Moral & Ethical Obligation, "Not to Glorify Pot" (with P.M.)! So, I put P.M. away in my "art closet".
I had no clue about "The Everything Plant"! Jack Herer had been Advocating about the Benefits of Cannabis since the 1980"s (Rick Simpson since 2003)!
Over the coarse of my life, I have ceated nearly every kind of Artwork for clients.
It wasn't until 2012 when I pulled P.M. from the closet, started a fb page which allowed me become "Educated through Social Media".
With new found information & inspiration, I have been researching & educating ever since. Once people understand what this plant may do, we ALL will be "on-board"!
It All fits together perfect! We are continuously being Lied to by the Media, they do Not tell US the whole truth to protect their corporate interests. "They Lied about Everything, about the "Everything Plant"! Support Life, Advocate for Cannabis.
August 4, 2015 - Teen Marijuana Use Not Linked to Later Depression, Lung Cancer, Other Health Problems, Research Finds
Study contradicts some prior marijuana research!!! Read the journal article below;
- Chronic Adolescent Marijuana Use as a Risk Factor for Physical and Mental Health Problems in Young Adult Men (PDF, 243KB)
EDITOR’S NOTE: A clarification of the study referenced below was issued because of controversy surrounding the findings. The original article reported there was not a statistically significant difference among four groups of males who exhibited varying patterns of teenage marijuana use in relation to several physical and mental health issues later in life, including psychotic disorders. Because of the controversy, the authors were asked to conduct a different set of analyses that compared teens who were infrequent or nonusers of marijuana to a combined group of teens who used marijuana regularly over multiple years. Although these supplemental analyses indicated that teens who engaged in frequent marijuana use had a higher probability of meeting criteria for a psychotic disorder than infrequent/nonusers by their 30s, this difference did not reach statistical significance using a two-tailed test (p=.09).
WASHINGTON — Chronic marijuana use by teenage boys does not appear to be linked to later physical or mental health issues such as depression, psychotic symptoms or asthma, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Rutgers University tracked 408 males from adolescence into their mid-30s for the study, which was published in Psychology of Addictive Behaviors®.
“What we found was a little surprising,” said lead researcher Jordan Bechtold, PhD, a psychology research fellow at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “There were no differences in any of the mental or physical health outcomes that we measured regardless of the amount or frequency of marijuana used during adolescence.”
Marijuana use has undergone intense scrutiny as several states and the District of Columbia have legalized the drug, prompting the researchers to examine whether teen marijuana use has long-term health consequences. Based on some prior studies, they expected to find a link between teen marijuana use and the later development of psychotic symptoms (delusions, hallucinations, etc.), cancer, asthma or respiratory problems, but they found none. The study also found no link between teen marijuana use and lifetime depression, anxiety, allergies, headaches or high blood pressure. This study is one of just a few studies on the long-term health effects of teen marijuana use that have tracked hundreds of participants for more than two decades of their lives, Bechtold said.
The research was an offshoot of the Pittsburgh Youth Study, which began tracking 14-year-old male Pittsburgh public school students in the late 1980s to analyze various health and social issues. For 12 years, participants were surveyed annually or semiannually, and a follow-up survey was conducted with 408 participants in 2009-10 when they were 36 years old. The study sample was 54 percent black, 42 percent white and 4 percent other races or ethnicities. There were no differences in the findings based on race or ethnicity.
Participants were divided into four groups based on their reported marijuana use: low or non-users (46 percent); early chronic users (22 percent); participants who only smoked marijuana during adolescence (11 percent); and those who began using marijuana later in their teen years and continued using the drug (21 percent). Early chronic users reported much higher marijuana use, which rapidly increased during their teens to a peak of more than 200 days per year on average when they were 22 years old. Their marijuana use then declined somewhat as they got older.
The researchers controlled for other factors that could have influenced the findings, including cigarette smoking, other illicit drug use, and participants’ access to health insurance. Since the study included only males, there were no findings or conclusions about women. Relatively few participants had psychotic symptoms, according to the study.
“We wanted to help inform the debate about legalization of marijuana, but it’s a very complicated issue and one study should not be taken in isolation,” Bechtold said.

Spiritual awakening may be painful emotionally, because we shed away many of the constructs, beliefs, patterns "inner and outer" that we had surrounded ourselves with.
Many of these constructs are not aligned with our True Spiritual Nature "T.S.N." and do us more harm than good. But we were convinced otherwise. We were positively sure we needed them to survive, identify with, to thrive, and to feel good. They deal with anything and everything in our lives, big and small, and are often things we hold very dear.
You may not be completely aware of what and how they work. Yet spiritual awakening is precisely about becoming aware of such constructs, and liberating you from them, yet you Had Believed you needed them there. Imagine "New Possibilities with Good Health and Environment".
Therefore, as these constructs are challenged - and sometimes ripped off - the process can be painful. Particularly so when we resist it. Yet the process needs to move forward, because your own spiritual desire for it, for freedom, for peace, for healing, surpassed your clinginess to the constructs that hold you prisoner. Imagine "New Possibilities with Good Health and Environment".
