Willie Nelson Busted in TX

[Slowhand]

I agree with you there. The law is the law & we should abide by it! But also have seen breaks given to friends & myself where I just dumped it out on the side of the road!

Of course 6 ounces is going to be hard to just dump out LOL, My point is its pretty obvious that Willie is a Pro Pot Head & if I was a betting man I would put money if I pulled his Bus over there is a good chance he might have some Weed on him. Thus the cop is just harassing a 77 yr old man that loves America & gives back to this country like plenty of others who just exploit our country & use it & then talk shit about how fucked up our country is! Im biased in this battle cause Willie is a Old Timer & I love his Pro American Attitude & you think the cop could have just left it alone!

I've seen plenty of breaks handed out, but it's never been for much more than a couple of grams. 6 ounces is an entirely different ordeal.

There's also the chance that, yes, the cop used his general knowledge about Willie as his 'probable cause'. But if he was dumb enough to take his tour bus through a border checkpoint with 6 ounces of weed then I'm fairly certain there's a good chance that his tour bus reeked of weed when they rolled in.

I agree to agree! LOL

In that case I've got no choice but to agree, lol.

Total horse shit. Fuck the police. Revenue enhancement officers. They dont protect me from anything by arresting pot heads. They only line their pockets.

Legalize It.

It was Border Patrol agents that found it, not police. They don't fit your tired old cliche of revenue enhancement officers lining their own pockets.

Regardless, police FTW

Whoopty fuckin doo.

I get the debate here, but what I don't get...you're a multimillionaire, riding around in a tour bus through a known checkpoint and don't have a place to stash it on the damned bus? Hell, kids have stash places in their cars so it is not EASILY found.

Oh wait, did dogs find it?

Whatever man, they sure aren't protecting the border by arresting an American citizen for his personal hash stash.

Meanwhile a truck passes through the checkpoint with 80 pounds of blow. The agents were too busy taking pictures with Willie's bus.

Police/ATF/DEA/FBI/ICE/Border Patrol ftmfl.

I don't even smoke. I just find it ridiculous that it is approved for medical use but general consumption is considered so bad.

I don't either, but I still believe it should be decriminalized.

I just think he's a stubborn old fart that doesn't give a shit. He'll make bail, get stoned, and realize he's actually helping the legalizing push with his defiance.

[Jimbo]

So were the founding fathers of this once great nation.

Ha, well done.

6 oz is alot for a personal travel stash. But regardless, what point do they prove by arresting him?

I know law enforcement has to know that a better portion of the population smoke pot, or have at one point. I don't feel like its a gateway drug because I dont want anything else. And to be in the same class as much harder drugs is just ridiculous. One state says it is good for medicine while the other states claim it will make you go insane. Lol... What a joke.

Will they make more money off taxing it, or writing citations?

War on drugs is fine, but war on pot is a waste of time and money. Even if you don't smoke it still effects you.

As illogical as it sounds, it's also logical. However, it's all fun and games until you're just sitting in jail for awhile. Although we all know celebrities have a better experience then normal civilians.

Also, if this were anyone else everyone would not care in the slightest that this person was arrested. Willie is not better then the rest of us Americans and the law is the law.

[YALE]

Legalizing pot so we don't have to arrest Willie anymore is one of the best arguments I've ever heard. I'm for never arresting Willie again. Let's legalize it.

Doing a job is not "harassing".

So do you know what exactly Willie has done? Willie is just helping to give back what this country has given to him for his talents when he's high. He's not the only one, and he shouldn't be given a "free ride" because he's done some good. Have you forgotten about his tax evasion charges? How did that "help" our country?

Hell, I've helped hundreds of people over my 23 years of service, but if I went out and got caught with 6 oz of weed, I'm sure I'd be held responsible.

The IRS got paid in full on that one*. Kris Kristofferson, and some other folks pitched in, and bought all his stuff back at auction. That was also his accountant's fault.

*EDIT: Apparently, by 1993, no less.
