HEMP disclosure with Eric Steenstra  Eric Believed that hemp had the potential to save the planet and that all people who were unjustly imprisoned for Cannabis needed to be released. He dug up countless facts about how Cannabis was demonized and prohibited starting in the 1930’s.  Jack shared his vision for a Cannabis revival by self publishing and distributing hundreds of thousands of copies of his book worldwide.

Jack’s research and passion inspired me to cofound hemp fashion and 

lifestyle brand Ecolution along with Steve DeAngelo in 1992. Steve and I created a line of 100% hemp clothing including jeans, shirts, hats and accessories made in Hungary and Romania. Our jeans were the first to be made from 100% hemp since Levi Strauss made the original jeans from hemp canvas used to cover the Conestoga wagons. The jeans were popular and we added hemp shirts and a line of hemp hats and accessories. We had customers across the U.S. and Europe. We also worked with Adidas to design a hemp Supermodified skater sneaker that was a huge commercial hit. After Steve and I sold the company in 1999, I continued to do business in Hungary brokering hemp twines, cordage and textiles for Elso Magyar Kenderfono.
