AN ORIGINAL YIPPIE ON A POT MISSION
WAHOO, Neb. - One of the original Yippies, a counterculture group
from the '60s, is hoping to turn a criminal case against him in
Nebraska for hauling marijuana into a judicial showdown over allowing
pot for medical treatments.
And, like the protests the Yippies helped organize at the 1968
Democratic National Convention in Chicago, he plans on bringing
activists from across the country to help plead his case.
Dana Beal, now a frail 65-year-old with heart problems and a hernia,
took the first step toward that legal strategy during a brief trial
Monday morning in Saunders County.
