Here's an interview with Jack Herrer from 1990 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1GGRp4rw8 |
(I had to smile to myself when I listened because I had forgotten that hemp is marijuana.) I've heard good things about hemp, too.
I knew I recognized that voice! This is actually a Hugh Downs commentary.
Here is a copy and paste of the blurb that goes with the video:
_______________________________________________
Hemp, the world's premiere renewable natural resource, by journalist and commentator Hugh Downs speaking for ABC News radio out of New York in November, 1990. Mr. Downs did his homework exceedingly well for this report--he succeeded in including a great deal of useful information in the short timespan of only nine minutes, forty seconds. Seeking to leverage off the clarity of his research, nine footnotes have been added to the text to provide people with a cross-section of the reference material substantiating the facts Mr. Downs articulates.
