A coalition of evil industrialists conspired to outlaw the most valueable natural resource on the planet EARTH, and enslave the masses by depriving them of the use of the most beneficial plant on this world.

This extra-ordinary plant which grows in abundance, is the most nutritous food known,and the safest most reliable natural medicine, as well as the best source of BIO-MASS for energy, and pulp for paper.

Millions of people were imprisoned for growing and possessing this plant.

The EVIL EMPIRE ruined lives,careers, broke up families and caused many sick people to suffer needlessly.

In an effort to restore TRUTH and JUSTICE , activist and author Jack Herer did painstaking research and compiled indisputable proof

that the EVIL EMPIRE had indeed conspired to deprive the people of LIFE,LIBERTY and The Pursuit of HAPPINESS.

Jack Herer exposed the EVIL EMPIRE'S lies and hypocracy by writing a book he titled "THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES", and this book enlightened millions of free thinking people, who, armed with this knowledge set about to break the EVIL EMPIRE'S stranglehold on Life,Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The EVIL EMPIRE would NOT relinquish it's grasp of power, and Declared WAR on those who supported the beneficial plant which could feed,clothe,fuel and heal people naturally.

A great cultural war ensued, as the EVIL EMPIRE and the Freedom Rebellion took position in the hearts and minds of peoples.

The conflict went on for many decades, with the Evil Empire claiming victory after victory in spite of the TRUTH the Rebellion wielded.
