I met my friend Chris Conrad in 1990 shortly after he had completed editing "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" for Jack Herer. While Chris and his wife Mikki were helping us promote hemp cultivation in Kansas in 1994, he and his wife were spending a couple of evenings with me. Knowing that Chris is a great artist, I had my wall prepared for him to paint. After a lovely dinner, a full day of speeches and new presentations, I served a wonderful chocolate mouse and Chris addressed the wall. I sat in the hall awaiting the surprise as we chatted. I asked Chris "what pulled him into the movement?"
Chris replied: "Because I knew there were people like you out here to help."
