Hemp For Victory I Credit Jack Herer
2000-2004 the DEA wanted us to dispose of our raw hemp grains
He Uncovered the truth
The Hemperor who helped us all.
Jack Herer loved Hempzels - he ate them when Ralph Amato owned the company & I shared them in Washington DC to him - Jack did the research in the National US Archives & found the original US Film for the War - 1942 Hemp For Victory. When I read his book it inspired myself and many in the industry.
2000-2004 Trying.
As a member of the Hemp Industry Association at the time and having just purchased the assets of No Problem, Inc ie, Hempzels™ it was not the way I wanted to start off. I was a signatory to the lawsuit but not a financier. Thanks to David Bronner & his effort we voiced our concern and stopped it but the damage had been done.

Challenging the agencies stance
The racist history of cannabis prohibition speaks volumes to bad drug laws that are still on the books. David Bronner chained himself in a cage in front of the Obama Whitehouse to protest the way the laws were being enforced.
2004 - 4 years later
This was only one of many hurdles to overcome as a Hemp-entrepreneur. We as an organization had challenged an Agency that had a history of abuse in the "War on Drugs" perpetuated by disgraced Impeached President Richard R.
