Archival film copies

The article claims that two VHS copies of the original film were recovered and donated to the Library of Congress on May 19, 1989. I'm guessing here (because the date sounds right) but does anyone know if Jack Herer was the donor? --Viriditas 11:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Accordint to the toatse.com article it links, Maria Farrow, Carl Packard, and Jack Herer (who is the author of the very toatse article) donated it. Added to the article. --ThrashedParanoid 23:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it has merit but should not post it as I am the creator. Please evaluate. Thanks CartoonChick (talk) 00:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm a naive Wikipedia editor, but it appears that www.theinstituteforcannabis.org must have expired and links to it hijacked by a German CBD company. A better url for the links would now be the Archived page at: https://web.archive.org/web/20170830175858/http://www.theinstituteforcannabis.org/history/usda/hemp-for-victory-the-true-story/

How does this rate as notable?

This is just an obscure PD film, and the only sources used in the article seem to either be passing mentions of some other topic or unreliable. At best it rates brief mention in the Hemp article, but there doesn't seem to be any reason for it to have its own article. It's like documenting one specific crack in a sidewalk or your great-grandmother's shirt that happens to be one of the random things in a box in the Smithsonian's basements. 2601:840:8080:4B10:AC73:776A:C945:D4B2 (talk) 09:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
