Written By Casper Leitch

Everything Old Is New Again

Richard M. Davis stands out as unsung hero in the Global Hemp Movement. As the founder of the USA Hemp Museum, Davis dedicated his life to educating the public about the benefits of industrial hemp and the potential of medical cannabis.

Richard M Davis talks about the historical significance and benefits of the hemp plant, which has been used for various purposes for thousands of years. He discuses how hemp has been unfairly overlooked due to prohibition, as it has the potential to replace many products on the market and help address environmental issues while creating new jobs.

Richard also delves into the history of hemp prohibition, which he attributes to strategic moves by wealthy businessmen to protect their interests in the oil and timber industries.

I got involved in the Hemp Movement in 1990 when I was hired by Jack Herer to run hiss office. I launched the cable television series ‘TIME 4 HEMP’ on January 5, 1991. Time 4 Hemp is the first TV series in the history of broadcasting to focus strictly on the topic of cannabis. This has given me the dubious honor of being ‘The Father Of Marijuana Television’.
