This photo-realistic mural of the late Jack Herer is by artist Brian Garcia (a.k.a., TAZROC). You can find it at 1501 Pacific Avenue in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. Herer was a well-known activist and book author advocating for the legalization of marijuana who was sometimes referred to as “the Emperor of Hemp.” The mural is on a building that at the time it was painted was occupied by the Nile Collective, a cannabis clinic that has since moved to the beach town of Playa del Rey a few miles south.
