Did I read that article right? 1 1/2 POUNDS of marijuana and they got misdemeanor citations? Here that would be poss. w/intent to distribute=felony.

i know right? they probably started out with two pounds. In Texas someone would have gone to jail, maybe even the penn...

Would it have been a distribution charge if all five of the senior citizens claimed possession?

I did the division before I made the comment--still each charged would have had more than 28 grams, which is enough for poss. w/intent to distribute here. Don't know about La., but they are lucky as hell, Willie or not, if they got misdemeanor cites. Still could face up to a year in jail though.

I wonder why he carries that much? I caught him at an outdoor show last year (getting pretty weak, even though he is a hero) and folks must have thrown 1/2 lb. worth of rolled joints onto the state.

Does the way that the weed is packaged matter in distribution cases? Maybe they had it all in one of those gallon-sized freezer bags as opposed to single ounce baggies.

I remember when one joint could send you to the joint...

They probably had a hunch that Willie was gonna smoke all of it.

Its pretty discretionary here, but with that much, I promise he would be charged with a felony just on the aggregate weight. I have a case like that now I represent a doctor's kid who is a student at a very expensive college. He bought two oz in 1/4 baggies from a guy that was selling out of a drive through restaraunt window. This kid drives a $40K vehicle, had $6K in his bank account when busted (allegedly ran a stop sign, had it sitting in the car in plain view, plus the cop could smell it), has good grades and the money is forensically traceable as coming directly and entirely from his father. He had no cash to speak of on him when he was busted, no empty baggies in the car, ect.... He bought 2 oz at the time, so he could keep it in his freezer and wouldn't have to risk getting busted by exposing himself to multiple buys of smaller amounts He is charged with felony possession with intent to distribute. I think they will have a hard time proving intent to distribute, but probably are bluffing so I will offer to plead him to "possessing more than 30 grams but less than 250", which is still punishible by up to 1 year in jail and $1K fine, whereas as currently charged as a felony, subjects him to up to 3 years and $3K fine.

It was all he could stuff in his jeans without drawing suspicion? The local cops smoked the rest? The other half was in his bong bowl?

Leno's gonna love this one.

PS Does conviction mean he can't be Kinky's Secretary of State?

He's supposed to be Kinky's Energy Head, whatever that means....

I'll bet I can get a little inside dope on this. Er. Eh. Um.

You know, that Willie Nelson guy, always driving around in his tour bus with his friends causing trouble...

Ain't it the truth. And that Supreme court nominee who was found out to have smoked it in college. Clearly his academic credentials and subsequent legal career was all fraudulent as he couldn't have done any of that if'n he smoked reefer.

Willie is now being quoted locally as saying something to the effect of:

"Good thing it wasn't spinach. I'd probably be dead by now."
