The Hemp Hoe Down was conceived in 2001 as a fundraiser to finance the efforts of Joe Stein, Dale Gatzke, and Another Person as they tried to reason with the South Dakota Legislature.

They presented evidence to the legislature that hemp was a viable -- in fact traditional -- South Dakota crop. The legislature said Stein, Gatzke and Another Person were trying to legalize drugs.

The Hemp Hoe Down has continued for 10 years, and is now the premier music and sustainable living cultural event of the Spring in western South Dakota.

Its premise has always been the Cultivation of Sustainable Living and the Destruction of Counterproductive Laws.

The South Dakota Legislature continues to cling to beliefs about hemp created by massive disinformation campaigns and superstition.

Joe Stein died. Dale Gatzke moved on to other pursuits. Another Person is under a court order that prohibits him from saying that hemp is not marijuana.

The 10th Annual Black Hills Hemp Hoe Down devotes the 2010 Hemp Hoe Down to the warriors -- all of us who defy the absurd governmental convention that "hemp is marijuana."

That includes everyone who comes to the Hemp Hoe Down.

Come early, stay late. This is gonna be a great party!

Emperor of Hemp

With marijuana arrests at an
all-time high, there has 
never been a more urgent
time to watch
 "Emperor of Hemp"
and discover for yourself
the real reasons behind
this brutal war on pot ...
and pot-smokers.

Grass

The history of the American
government's war on marijuana
in the 20th century.

Hemp and The Rule of Law

Blending history with current events,
"Hemp and the Rule of Law" traces
the crop’s legendary past in
U.S. agriculture and chronicles
the politically-charged debate
to return the crop to
American farmers.

Jack Herer, the Emperor of Hemp (June 18, 1939 – April 15, 2010), was an American cannabis activist and the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, a book which has been used in efforts to decriminalize cannabis.

Without Jack and The Emperor Wears No Clothes, there would be no Hemp Hoe Down. Jack died April 15.
