Jack Herer Suffers Heart Attack

 

Sunday, 13 September 2009 10:57

 

 

The much beloved "Emperor of Hemp" Jack Herer collapsed backstage yesterday at Hempstalk 2009 in Portland after giving a speech. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent heart surgery.

 

Herer, the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, suffered a stroke and heart attack in 2000 at another Oregon event.

 

He has recovered over the years, though the 70-year-old activist speaks with a stutter and walks with a limp. Just minutes before his speech, Herer looked fit and said, "I'm getting better and better and better. I'm healthier than I've been..."

 

Herer's currently at Emanuel Trauma Center in Portland.
