Washington: Seattle Hempfest 2010: Don E. Wirtshafter - Welcome to the House that Jack Built
By Michael Bachara, Hemp News
Don E. Wirtshafter ( http://drugsense.org ) gives a speech to the Seattle Hempfest 2010 crowd, in tribute to his good friend Jack Herer.
"Hempfest would not be here were it not for Jack," says Wirtshafter.
He discusses the chaos of the Drug War and how it needs to be stopped. He explains about the DEA and their viscous "sneak and peek" and "knock and talk" tactics to taking advantage of legal medical marijuana patients in Washington.
Don feels that the community needs to step up and help these people who are being taken advantage of and realize the value hemp can bring to our society.
Don is best known for his 1990 launch of the Ohio Hempery, America's first hemp products merchant. He is an inspiration to many within the cannabis legalization movement.
