    And to Those Who Helped on Past Editions of “The Emperor”: For my friends who have especially supported this work and me for years: Captain Edwin Adair III; his lady, Willie Rosson; my friend “A” or “C”, a.k.a. John Jay Greenfields; J.R.; P; Dobie Don; David & Debbie; Jay Lynn, who may be the world’s most brilliant and interesting etymologist and philologist; and to my sons, who kept me going for two years of sabbatical so I could research, write, and re-write this book. And finally, I dedicate this work to the hundreds of individual California Marijuana Initiative and Oregon Marijuana Initiative petitioners arrested between 1980-98 while petitioning legally to put this issue on the ballot.

    Special Acknowledgments to: Bruce Anderson and Hans Georg Behr for incredible insights into some of the far corners of world class scholarship on hemp and darn near anything else. To Bryce Garner for his day-to-day dedication given to this endeavor in incredibly selfless doses for months; including editorship and comment. For proofreading and editing assistance: Carolee Wilson, Jim Carner, Rachel Shepard, Daryl Mauer, Susan O’Donnell-Church, Bob Chieger, Mary Balleta, Andy Kowl, Clark Jones, Eddy Gordon, and Tod Mikuriya, M.D. To manuscript typists Vanetta Mayo and Laurie Weiner. John Zimmer for typesetting. Ben Masel and Dana Beal for their belief in this project, Howard for the space to do this work in, and Stephan for the memories.

Special 1998 Dedications:

    To my children: Barry, Daniel, Mark, River, Chanci, and B.J., and to a future in which the natural things are not outlawed—so that they may have a future.

    And to: “The Duchess of Hemp” Patricia Anne Steward, who for the past 8 years has worked unceasingly, getting the hemp information out to so many people in places where formerly we had little influence.

    Also to: Michael Kleinman for adding his support to this 1998 edition of The Emperor, and for helping to make the cry of hemp freedom heard from Coast to Coast with his endless energy on behalf of us all.

Thank You.
