My Top 5 Pot People

 
Jorge Cervantes - World-renowned cannabis-cultivation expert  , Jorge has probably done more than any other person will ever do for Cannabis. By spreading the How-To of cannabis cultivation ; notably indoor cultivation . Jorge was the first person to collect information on the topic and put it into print , Indoor Marijuana Horticulture , in 1983 . I think its, I guess ironic , his book was dubbed The Indoor Grower's Bible , considering what Jorge does ; spreads the good word. ...More about Jorge 


Tommy Chong -  Chong helped make marijuana famous , as one half of comedy duo , Cheech and Chong. In 1978 the duo's movie, Up In Smoke, was the highest grossing movie of that year . Through out his career Chong has remained a passionate advocate and public face for Cannabis legalization.


Dale Clare - Executive chancellor of Oaksterdam University, where she spearheads expansion projects, develops new courses and teaches the Medical 101 and Legal Rights 102 classes for all four campuses, Clare educates the public and other industry professionals as director of public relations and patient advocacy for the Medical Cannabis Assn. Committed to improving patient safety through the development of standardized quality-assurance practices and testing methods, she also helped establish the Medical Cannabis Safety Council, where she serves as chairperson of the Education & Research Committee.


 Jack Herer - Cult icon Jack Herer , The Emperor of Hemp ,  first came into the Cannabis scene with his tome , The Emperor Wears No Clothes ; an authoritative history of the cannabis plant's uses and the prohibitions against it. Passing away earlier this year Herer will live on in memory of his work and in the dominant sativa strained named after him.


Primo - In his own self-descriptive words , Primo is a : "...a joker , a midnight toker , and a conscious poker." Primo is definitely one of the hardest working individuals out there promoting to educate , legalize and spreading the good word on Cannabis. Check out his website , Lets Talk About Pot , for some of that great information . Blogs , videos , and much more on everything from : cooking with Cannabis , gardening tips , and the general good use of cannabis.

    1. Charlie, dude, what can I say?

      I'd like to thank the Academy for this truly
      undeserved honor. lol

      Just to be mentioned in the same breath as these Cannabis Heroes would be Way too much praise, so to see it in print just blew me away.
      If you were the only person in the world to ever see my work, it would be worth the effort.
      Your Humble Servant, Primo
