Shocked! Shocked I tell you! Willie busted

[Dakota rube]

I cannot believe this news: Willie Nelson was busted for pot and mushrooms!

"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odor of marijuana," the news release said. A search of the bus produced 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and 0.2 pounds of narcotic mushrooms, according to state police.

Just for personal consumption, officer

Think of it as the Costco approach.

Wow, he had quite the stash.

Take a moment of silence, and burn one down for The Legend.

Love the man, love his music. Ran the Willie Nelson 10-K for Farm Aid as my first footrace, and was heartbroken that I couldn't stay for the concert, which ran from around noon to around 10-ish on a Sunday night. I'd hate to have been drug tested the next day. The Mrs. got pictures of Willie, one where he's waving to her.

Normally I detest drug use in all its forms - and their users - but for Willie I have a major soft spot. I can't explain it, but Willie without weed just doesn't work for me.

why can't they just leave the man alone. he's like 106 years old, for cryin' out loud.

Is that a lot or a little?

In that book he wrote to settle his debt with the IRS he talks about visiting Jimmy Carter in the White House. At night he went up to the roof and smoked a doobie with a Secret Service sharpshooter. Now that would be pretty cool.

EDITED for clarification: Willie smoked the joint, not President Carter.

Who's the douche bag cop that busts Willie. What an asshat. I mean seriously, I'm usually against special treatment for celebrities, but it's friggin Willie for Christ's sake. Stupid whore cop.

Btw, shout out to the insult thread.

I was actually more concerned that the sharpshooter was hitting the bong.

true, and according to that Toby Keith song, "I'll Never Smoke Weed, with Willie Again," Willie gets some pretty mean pot.

I'm just glad it wasn't a Texan cop. Pretty sure "Don't arrest Willie for possession" is one of the first things they learn in the police academies here.

Tragic.
