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.[1] In 1985, after 12 years, this data was published as The Emperor
Wears No Clothes. 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, Marihuana & Hemp Museum, Amsterdam, (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:

ł 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!
--
Money! What a concept.

Maybe they should start printing the currency on hemp to start with.
Then you could smoke up your cash directly and eliminate the middle
man.

I've heard the original "Constitution" was printed on hemp paper. And...
It is going up in smoke as we speak.

Hemp and flax was the source of most paper at the time and may have been
used for drafts of the Constitution. The actual document in the National
Archives is on parchment (sheepskin).
