Show Notes
The Name "Tosh" is synonymous with Reggae music because Peter Tosh was
one of the founding members of The Wallers who played with Bob Marley.
It was in the 60's and 70's that Reggae music started to become popular
with the anti-war and protest era of the USA. Now his daughter Naimbe is
carrying on the Rastafarian tradition while raising awareness about the
injustices of the failed war on drugs by incarcerating thousands of
people for simple possession crimes. That includes Naimbe's late brother
Jawara who died of injuries suffered in a New Jersey prison where he
was assaulted by fellow inmates. Justice for Jawara now drives Naimbe, a
former school teacher in the Boston schools. Naimbe McIntosh joins In
The Weeds with Jimmy Young on Pro Cannabis Media.
