James E. Gierach Takes Time 4 Hemp

In this compelling episode of Time 4 Hemp, host Casper Leitch, joint host Al Byrne, and technical editor Al Graham sit down with James E Gierach to discuss his book, 'The Silver Bullet Solution'.

James E. Gierach is a name that resonates powerfully in the realm of drug policy reform. Based in the Chicago area, James has built an extraordinary legacy as a former assistant state’s attorney of Cook County, municipal attorney, and retired general practitioner. From his early days as the youngest delegate to draft the 1970 Illinois Constitution to his runs for Cook County state’s attorney and Illinois governor in 1992 and 1994, James has remained steadfast in his mission to address the pressing problems of drug prohibition with innovative, transformative solutions.

For over 35 years, James has been a relentless advocate for ending the global War on Drugs, a failed policy that has left a trail of violence, injustice, and wasted resources in its wake. As an author, international speaker, pamphleteer, and former director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), James has brought his expertise to the global stage, drafting groundbreaking amendments to the United Nations drug-control treaties. His proposals, presented at side events for the Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna and Ecuador, have sparked critical dialogue about drug policy reform worldwide.

His book, 'The Silver Bullet Solution: Is It Time to End the War on Drugs?', has earned accolades from reformers, three national drug czars across three continents, and even a member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy. This work serves as a rallying cry for those committed to reshaping the conversation around drug policy, industrial hemp, and cannabis legalization.
