Jack Herer presents Hemp For Victory

This 1989 video, produced by the political action group H.E.M.P. (Help Eliminate Marijuana Prohibition), showcases Hemp For Victory, a 1942 film produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in which American farmers are encouraged to grow hemp for the war effort.

Jack Herer outlines the U.S. government's long denial and recent confirmation of the existence of the film.

Jack Herer discusses the historical significance of the 1942 US Department of Agriculture film "Hemp for Victory," which encouraged Americans to grow hemp for the war effort due to the cut-off of foreign hemp supplies. Herer emphasizes the importance of hemp as a renewable resource for various industries, including paper, fiber, fuel, and food. He criticizes the continued prohibition of hemp cultivation, arguing that it prevents society from utilizing its benefits. Herer also shares evidence of the historical use of hemp in the navy and its potential industrial and medicinal uses. The speaker encourages viewers to support the organization and spread the information, offering a copy of the film and the book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" for a donation. Herer expresses frustration with the lack of knowledge and action regarding the potential of hemp as a natural, renewable resource and calls for an immediate moratorium on the enforcement of marijuana laws based on ignorance and misinformation.

The video also contains short excerpt from the 1936 anti-marijuana film, Reefer Madness.
