"Even now, ten years into his career, Woody Harrelson comes with a good deal less packaging than the average multimillion-a-picture movie star. When he spoke out against the Gulf War in 1991, he not only got dropped as the grand marshal of the New Orleans Mardi Gras parade but was canned as a spokesman for the Miller Brewing Company. Now, with his advocacy of industrial hemp and his embrace of New Age spiritualism, there's a very real possibility that he'll inherit the title of Ultimate Hollywood Flake from Shirley MacLaine. The question is, who's handling this guy?" - from "Karma Chameleon" by Rob Buchanan, Premiere, October 1995

Actor Woody Harrelson isn’t one to tread lightly when it comes to environmental issues. Acts of civil disobedience have him awaiting a response from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and facing charges in a Kentucky court. In his 1995 tax return, he withheld money from the IRS and sent them a letter airing his grievances with the government’s disregard for the environment in its spending policies and legislation. His concern about deforestation has led him to promote industrial hemp as an alternative fiber source for paper and building materials. With the planting of four French industrial hemp seeds in a Kentucky field, he is challenging the constitutionality of a Kentucky law that fails to distinguish between industrial hemp and marijuana.
