Willie
Willie Nelson's bus was pulled over by LA state troopers and searched the other day, and Smoky said there was a "strong odor of marijuana" emanating from the bus. No shit copper its Willie! The fuzz found a pound of grass and it looks like Willie may be in trouble. Shouldn't an American icon, great songwriter, singer, and all around legend like him get a free pass? Hell he's 76 he's just smoking for his cataracts! That trooper should get his ass whooped.

Hell, it was probably just biodiesel...
Yeh, maybe thats why he was really pulled over, because he is not buying into big oil, maybe W sent his henchmen to bust up shotgun Willie because he is showing Americans that there are ways to get around without petroleum.
I have to admire Willie. The only CD of his I have is Stardust, and that isn't even "country"... but I love his voice. And if that trooper loves Willie's voice too, he should realize that decades of dope smoking has probably contributed to that wonderful rough, crackly, mellow, nasal vocal quality and singing style. The trooper should have gotten onto the bus, shared a reefer with the Old Master, then gone on his merry way. Instead, we will probably get a bunch of punitive-minded Republicans trying to put Nelson in jail for using.
I think it's HIGH time (horrific pun intended) that pot was legalized. I believe that if our government had half a functioning brain cell it would grow pot, and sell it to adults in government shops like some states do with liquor. Think of the money they would make, and they wouldn't have to worry quite as much about druglord dope-producers making so much money. And while they're at it, the government could un-demonize hemp, so we could use it for better-quality paper, clothing and whatever else, as it has many, many uses... Of course the timber industry is a big paper producer and a big GOP supporter in general, so Washington would have to experience a sea change about cannabis/hemp in order for 1) hemp to be more widely used and grown, and 2) people to use marijuana without being punished... but I think it will eventually happen. To me, it makes too much sense NOT to happen.
I agree legalizing marijuana would free up millions of dollars in law enforcement and unclog the prisons. Not to mention the tax revenue you spoke of, I am not a smoker but I have plenty of friends that are and I have to say that it is a completely benign substance, alcohol is a much more destructive substance. Legalization just makes sense.
I agree a whole pot, with elvez73.
The man has age to be grand pa of everyone, let him smoke quietly.
