Maroon5 Before They Were Maroon5
We were lucky enough to discover Kara's Flowers in 1999 ... before they changed their name to Maroon5 and became famous, winning Best New Artist at the 2005 Grammy Awards and toking up on the pages of High Times. "Emperor of Hemp" features two exclusive songs by the band and a third written by lead singer Adam Levine. Also on the soundtrack: songs by Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, Kris Kristofferson, The Rascals, and others.
10 Years and Counting
In the 10 years since the release of "Emperor of Hemp," our humble low-budget marijuana documentary has been seen by tens of thousands all over the world and has aired on PBS stations in major U.S. cities. There is now even an Espanol version in Spain and a French version on Planete No Limit. We receive email all the time from viewers who say the documentary has enlightened them to the truth behind marijuana prohibition. One viewer claims to have seen it more than 400 times! 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. And now you can watch it all on our digitally remastered DVD!
A Grassroots Campaign . . .
In March 2001, the National Educational Television Assn. put "Emperor of Hemp" on a satellite for America's 350 PBS stations to download. Since then, local PBS stations in such major cities as San Francisco, Denver, Houston, Louisville, Miami and Buffalo have aired it at least once. That's right. A pro-marijuana film on PBS! There's no reason why your local PBS station couldn't do the same. They listen to their viewers. If you could gently prod your local program director on our behalf, it might make a difference. You can get the phone number or email address by going to PBS.org.
Many thanks!
