On February 21, 2017, Jawara McIntosh, aka Tosh 1, son of legendary reggae artist Peter Tosh, was beaten into a coma at Bergen County Jail in New Jersey while serving a six-month sentence for ma*****na-related charges. He almost died. Doctors had little hope of his recovery. But, his will and purpose in life is strong, and his belief in his connection to Jah, is slowly, very slowly, inching him back to us. InI continue to pray every day for his recovery and for justice; to get to the true reason behind the attack, and to address the issues which put him in the position to have this happen.

MAC STAGING CAUSES LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION OF JAHARVESTFEST 2016

Mac Staging Company was hired to do the lights, sound, and staging for Jaharvestfest 2016. They were supposed to set-up on Friday the day before the concert. Arrangements were made with the Fairgrounds and the site was available all day. We were contacted Friday morning by the owner of Mac Staging, asking when they could start set-up. He was told that the venue would be open all day for them to setup as we had planned. He assured us that his "crew" would be there and have everything setup by 8am Saturday.

His "crew" of 2, arrived at the venue around 8pm with half the staging and nothing else. They called the Rev to inform him that they only had one truck available and that they would have to setup what they had and go back to pick up the rest of the stage, lighting, and the mains for the sound system. (The major part of the sound system, we were informed on that Thursday was subcontracted to a Sacramento based sound company, and we had to pay them their share of the deposit and the rest sent to Mac Staging which was the first violation of our agreement, but it was handled and we moved on.) The two crewman then informed Rev that they would need to go back and pick up the rest of the staging and that the owner would be driving back with them and another truck with the rest of the sound system and lights so they would be set up no later than noon Saturday. Their only problem is that they had been sent out with a truck that was supposed to be fully gassed up and wasn't and they needed a couple hundred dollars of their balance to get back to pick up the rest of the equipment. So, after rehearsals the Rev met with them at the fairgrounds to give them the money. This was around 1am. They promised they would be back and have everything ready for the sound to be setup by noon. That didn't happen.

They didn't get back until 2pm because they were delayed by the owner, and when they got back the lights and the rest of the sound were still with the owner who never left because he had a "seizure". The sound company offered to get the lights and the rest of the sound from their sources but they wouldn't be able to be ready until 7pm. That meant losing 4 hours of music, which was unacceptable. So we very reluctantly cancelled the event. All the artists were here and ready.

We have been producing all kinds of events since 1976 and this is the first time this has happened to us. It will not happen again. So once again we apologize to all the massive effected. We will be doing more events soon.

Blessed Love,

Peter Tosh was not a man of peace. He was a revolutionary. "Peace," he told the feverish 40,000-strong crowd at the famous One Love Peace Concert in 1978, is "the diploma you get in the cemetery", written on your tombstone: "Rest in Peace!"

It's been a testy six months but Tosh 1 is out of the belly of the Beast thanks to the great work of lead attorney Ralph Smith of Cannabis Patients Unite. Ralph is a long time herb activist; since the late 60's. But there is still more to do as the Babylon prosecutors are still trying to enslave our brethren for life. What they have really done is release the spirit of Peter Tosh in the guise of his youngest son Jawara and brought together some powerful and livicated forces to the battle to free-up our Holy Herb, and the countless political prisoners sitting in the belly of the beast because of the war against our Holy Herb. Read the article and visit the cpunite.org and learn more about this movement. Then join InI!!! For more info about Tosh 1 contact AO Management.

TOSH 1 RELEASED ON $200,000 BOND: “IT’S OVER FOR THE CORNY!”

December 14, 2013. Posted in TOSH News

Jawara McIntosh, youngest son of Reggae legend Peter Tosh, walked out of Bergen County Jail last night, six months after he was arrested on charges of possession of ma*****na with intent to distribute. Like 73% of prisoners behind bars awaiting trial, McIntosh was unable to pay the $200,000 bail set for his release. Nor did he have the non-refundable $20,000 he would have had to pay to the bondsmen. A donor who believes, like a growing number, that having to serve time behind bars just because you are poor, is unconstitutional. These are citizens who are innocent in the eyes of the law, until proven guilty. Yet, today, Prisons-for-Proft, regularly trade in human beings who have not been convicted of a crime. They make money off of them. This trade has a name: Slavery.

The secret is over” said Tosh. “Sometimes it’s the things we don’t say that mean the most. Sometimes its the things we don’t do that get the most done. Sometimes its the questions we don’t ask, that reveals the truth.

Tosh 1 is out!

Yesterday we had a great work day. We planted eight trees at the compound. Special thanks to T.J., Dave Gaskins, and Cat for their help. The trees are happy in their final home after being in pots for many many years.
