Dan Herer
The Jack Herer Foundation
Dan Herer, son of the legendary hemp advocate Jack Herer, was born into the hemp movement.
Today, Dan carries on his late father’s legacy yet on his own terms and in his own way.
Herer balances multiple roles as an industrial hemp developer, hemp entrepreneur, and is the Director of
the California-based Jack Herer Foundation.
The Foundation leads with the philosophy that “hemp education will change the world,'' with a primary goal of reintroducing the hemp plant’s history back into the educational system.
To deliver on this promise, the Foundation is currently developing a mobile touring hemp education center and Jack Herer National Hemp Museum. This effort will allow the
Foundation to take hemp education literally to the streets -- featuring a nationwide educational tour.
If Jack Herer could be called a “warrior” and “activist” for the movement, which he was, Dan carries the family torch in hemp advocacy in the role of an “educator” and “influencer.”
Dan’s domestic and international work in the industry today is primarily in modern markets which requires a new level of strategy and sophistication. Winning the hearts of minds of policymakers and voters starts with education,
which in Dan’s view is one of the primary outlets to impact positive social change for cannabis legalization.
