Jack Herer Hospitalized
Mon, Sep 14, 2009 3:28 pm
The one and only Hemperor, Jack Herer, legendary author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, has been admitted to the hospital following a heart attack, and remains in critical condition. Herer, 70, the longest serving, most recognized and best-loved marijuana and hemp activist in the world was taken ill at the Hempstalk Festival in Portland, Oregon.
Herer’s wife, Jeanine Herer, posted the following online late last night:
“High Folks, I want to give everyone an update on Jack. I just spoke with his assistant, Chuck, as of 12:30am east. Avery fast rumor coming out of Hempstalk of which I also reported on was only partially true. Jack has NOT had angioplasty yet and may not have to. Last night the doctors put him in an induced coma and lowered his body temp with ice. They are keeping him this way for 48 more hours. His heart is doing well for now so they think he will be ok soon. Chuck is staying in contact with Jack's family for updates so I'll let the list know when I know more.”
The entire staff of HIGH TIMES wishes to send our warmest wishes to Jack Herer for a speedy recovery. He’s an inspiration to this magazine and so many of our readers. For more information, check out http://jackherer.com

He is in a coma, and on life support.
3 nurosurgons have concluded that he is brain dead.
No brain activity, his wife refuses to remove the life support.
His assisant and the family want life support to be discontinued,and now it has become a big legal mess.
This is a sad mess, and not the way Jack would have wanted it.

Another day! And time to start preparing your ground for next years crop. Dig a hole,(posthole digger best)18 inch's deep with top 6 inch layer kept separate,be sure and put a nice sized fish @ 12 inch's under ground and sprinkle appx 1 1/2 cups of bone meal @ 18 inch level. Mix 2 cups of worm castings with the 6 inch's of topsoil and fill hole,some add perlite and coco coir for aeration and moisture control. You are now ready for spring planting,and all you will need to add is water and an occasional worm casting tea.
Screw them,grow your own

My husband was one of the first responders to Jack. As soon as Jack went down, people were trying to help him as best they knew how. When my husband got there approx 2 minutes later, he took over as he has advanced CPR training for medical providers. He was providing one man CPR when one of our paid security officers arrived. Then they switched to two man CPR. As they worked on Jack, his color started to return & Jack coughed a few times.
The ambulance arrived & the EMT’s worked on him. He was transported out of the park by ambulance & they met Life Flight out on the main road. Life Flight then flew him to Emanuel Hospital.
As we stated previously, as of 9/19 this morning, Jack is still in critical but stable condition.
Additionally, a fund is set up for Jack. We helped Jeannie set it up at US BANK. Go to any US BANK branch or call them. Tell them you want to donate to the JACK HERER DONATION ACCOUNT.
They can verify for you that the fund was set up at the Emanuel Hospital branch & is legitimate.
