The Emperor Wears No Clothes
- The Emperor Wears No Clothes
"The Emperor Wears No Clothes" is a book written by Jack Herer. Starting in 1973, Jack Herer took the advice of his friend "Captain" Ed Adair and began compiling tidbits of information about cannabis and its numerous uses. [Herer, Jack. 1985. "The Emperor Wears No Clothes". Ah Ha Publishing, Van Nuys, CA.] In 1985, after 12 years, this data was published as "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" (ISBN 0-9524560-0-1). The book is in its eleventh edition, and is often used in cannabis rescheduling and re-legalization efforts.
The book, backed by H.E.M.P. (America), Hanf Haus (Germany), Sensi Seeds/Hash Marijuana Museum (Netherlands), and T.H.C., the Texas Hemp Campaign (America), offers $100,000 to anyone who can disprove the claims made within. To quote the back cover:
If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is -- the same one that did it all before -- Cannabis Hemp... Marijuana!
The title of the book is a reference to Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale The Emperor's New Clothes.
