MARIJUANA ADVOCATE IN A TOUGH FIGHT
WAHOO, Neb. - Back in the '60s, Dana Beal was one of the original
Yippies - the radical, counterculture group known for disrupting the
1968 Democratic National Convention and advocating legalization of
drugs and a nation powered by people and not profit.
Years later, Beal organized marches calling for the legalization of
marijuana and helped open a New York City clinic that dispenses pot
to AIDS patients for medicinal purposes.
He's also the poster boy for the legalization of ibogaine, a plant
extract that he contends can inexpensively and quickly cure addiction
to heroin and methamphetamine.
