Once again we see more cracks from Number Nine. As I was around them in the late '70s and early '80s. I can recall sitting around the second floor with Dana's favs and seeing firsthand the Jim Jones effect on the young who were hoodwinked into thinking this was a change. As for Alice, well.......

All The People With AIDS that Dana Beal Ripped-off
Why the cat-piss pot? Why your son stole $3,500.00 from the "Literary Society"? Why Alice Torbush's rants-and-raves against you and against Dr. Tracey Blevins? Why are you a drunk? Yes, the JIM JONES of Bleecker Street gets his just desserts. Alice Torbush hates you and so do we all. You scammed people with AIDS, cancer and MS - this according to everyone in the East Village who hates your fucking guts. DRUNKARD's bottles outside of Number 9 told your very sad, sad story.

OCEAN BEACH MARYLAND never looked so good ;)) - hey Alice Torbush u wun? (also a drunk, she lives off of her dead parents' money ...) Letitia Tarrayo and Gilbert Baker continue to scam away AIDS patients ;((

Would some please publish the name of the Judge and address of the Court where Dana will be sentenced? This is the person who needs to show mercy. Hopefully we can generate compassion.

People run that much or much more daily in Cali and Michigan. That could have been a portion of his medicine he was just bringing home. Most people who grow for medical in other states produce much more than that in one crop.

Dana Beal runs Cures Not Wars and organizes the annual Global Marijuana March each May. He is a proponent of "Addiction Interruption," a process of curing alcohol, cocaine and heroin addiction, and other obsessive behavior using Ibogaine Therapy, which is available in Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Slovenia, Netherlands, Brazil, South Africa, United Kingdom and New Zealand. Meanwhile, in the US, I believe we are still struggling with whether curing all those people might exacerbate the problem of having too many Clear-headed People with Vision... :-)

Justice my ass... these idiot cops make me sick. I bet they were probably thinking something like, "Sure, tons of people in pain won't get their medicine tonight, but who cares because we're gonna get hella paid! I mean, at least we kept it away from those little punk kids with their skateboards and devil-worshipping music, right guys?" ;)

A friend's considering registering in the Republican Party this coming year just so he can vote for Ron Paul in the primaries, a vocal enemy of the War on Drugs. If we ALL did that Dana and others could simply "walk," and we'd indirectly marginalize the GOP's Religious Right element too!

wow, those cops in the picture look like the biggest fucking tools in the world. "YEAH MAN! LOOK WHAT WE DID! THINK OF HOW MANY LIVES WE'VE SAVED BY GETTING THIS POT OFF THE STREETS! WE'RE WINNING THE WAR ON DRUGS, OR, RATHER, THE WAR ON INNOCENT, MORALLY REVERENT PEOPLE WHO JUST LIKE TO HAVE A TOKE!" fuck you. your families should be ashamed of such downtrodden, sad, no pussy getting dickheads who had their wives fucked in high school or college by someone who smokes weed, and they cant take it.

What a damn shame! When is this Police State going to get hip and leave us pot smokers alone? Never, I guess! I served time on a Florida chain gang and suffered greatly. Hence I will never forgive this country for doing that to me for possession of a little weed!

Liberate Dana Beal Now!!!!!

These police officers are sociopaths, stealing a safer substance for the sake of protecting more dangerous ones.

I was around the Yippies in the early '80s in the East Village. Dana was known as "JIM JONES OF BLEECKER STREET" (see Soho News)

Those cops are smiling with that bust but they don't realize that if there is a hell, they are going to be writing tickets in it. I know they don't make the laws, but if you are the iron fist inside the velvet glove, if you are doing the devils work, then ignorance of the law is no excuse, or however they say it.
I'm trying to speak in terms that religious people (like cops) can think in. I don't actually believe in any of that mind control organized religon. let me shut up now.
