Soft cover. Zustand: Excellent. First Thus. Australian addendum to the classic American tract on marijuana prohibition. Jack Herer's "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" [first published in 1985] has been called the "Hemp Bible". Herer was founder of Help End Marijuana Prohibition [HEMP] & claims that hemp can "Save the World". Published with Queensland journalist John Jiggens' shorter piece, "The Marijuana Conspiracy in Australia" where Jiggens conjectures that Australia was originally settled as a "Hemp Colony" with Joseph Banks seeing the value in the wonderplant. Although there are publication details for "The Emperor." it would appear this has been published [likely with Herer's permission] by Jiggens, with the addition of his piece, for the Australian market. First Thus [John Jiggens, 1995]; viii, 104, 24 pages; illustrated card , lightly rubbed, bumped at corners, previous owner's sticker to 1st pg, an excellent copy.…
