Kyoto Hemp Forum - Advocacy

Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman, who used “herbs” in her healings, commanded “GO FORWARD”. We are blessed to have extremely dedicated activists going forward.

As we go forward in the mission to, as Paul Stanford says “Restore Hemp”, we are preserving human life on earth.

Advocacy is important, the energy that moves us forward. 

The first hemp activist I ever knew about was musician Louis Armstrong, who stood strongly for legalization, growing cannabis at his home in Queens, NY.  He died the same year President Dick Nixon declared the war on drugs, 1971 (another one of those convenient for government policy deaths). Armstrong’s work has inspired many to go forward, never giving up.

So many dynamic souls are carrying the hemp freedom flag. RW Akile, Tom Alexander, Melissa Balin, Dana Beal, Paul Benhaim, Mike Bifari, Johannes Bjarmarsson, Jeff Clark,  Tommy Chong, Chris Conrad, Steve Danks, Stephen DeAngelo, Ben Dronkers, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, Anndrea Hermann, Leslie Hardin, Jeanie Herer, Aron Kay, Brenda Kershenbaum, Michael Krawitz, Casper Leitch, Todd McCormick, Patrick Moore, Willie Nelson, Mikki Norris, Takashi Okanuma, Jeanette Perez, Dennis Peron, Bruce Perlowin, Scotty, Dr. Jeri Rose, ArlinTroutt, Lee Reisch, Kiami Robert, Ed Rosenthal, Lynnette M. Shaw Paul Stanford, Theresa Stanford, Olive Hemp Thai, David Crockett Williams, Montel Williams and many other activists.

It is important that we have an empty seat in the room for hemp heroes of honor.  Folks can give shout outs to beyond life heroes and sheroes like Dr. Emoto, Jack Herer, Peter McWilliams, Somayah Kambui, Richard M. Davis, Gatewood Galbraith, Brownie Mary, (please forgive my USA centric list, please add other names of cannabis champions.

Hemp advocacy replaces unnecessary drama with solutions.  If you’re already advocating for hemp, thank you. If not, what the hell are you waiting for?
