At 77 years old, Willie Nelson still loves playing music and he still loves smoking pot. The latter vice got him arrested outside El Paso on Friday. His tour bus was stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint and 6 ounces of pot was discovered on the bus. Willie was arrested but posted bond and was back on the road pretty quickly. If Willie is convicted of the charge he could spend six months in jail. I would say he is probably looking at some probation and that is about it.
Marijuana laws are ridiculous.

over-rated white trash.
ReplyDeleteIf pot were not found on a Willie Nelson tour bus, it would not be a legitimate Willie Nelson tour bus.
ReplyDelete@Jenny: if they hadn't found pot, they would've arrested everyone on site, and demanded to know what they did with Willie Nelson and his road crew.
ReplyDelete@d: True! LOL
ReplyDelete^^^you are all funny today. I'm still in a turkey induced semi-coma.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that marijuana laws are ridiculous and feel that pot should be legalized, the fact is that currently, it is NOT legal in most parts of the world. So, if you don't want to be charged with drug possession, don't carry drugs. It really is that simple.
ReplyDeleteFree Willie!
ReplyDeleteduh. why would they bring a bunch of weed at the biggest border patrol checkpoint in the us.....
ReplyDelete@Maja
ReplyDeleteOr be smart about it and not hotbox your tour bus in an area that has an overabundance of police.
@looserdude - I was JUST about to write that.
ReplyDeleteSo ridiculous. I saw Saget on Friday night and he was railing on about how Nelson had just been arrested for this. He's Willie F'cking Nelson. Leave him alone!
ReplyDeletelol - I'm with RocketQueen.
ReplyDeleteIt's WILLIE NELSON - duh.
Willie Nelson should have some kind of a stoner pass that he keeps in his wallet.
ReplyDeletedo they not have anything better to do? like i dunno figure what the fack is going on in Mexico?
ReplyDeleteWe can all feel safer knowing a hardened criminal like this has finally been caught. I'll sleep better tonight. Jay-walkers, you're next!
ReplyDeleteCome back to CO Willie. It's practically legal here and the places that allow it are making a fortune in taxes.
ReplyDeletewell if they caught willie then Jenn Aniston and chelsea Handler should be safe hanging out at Joe Francis house with their weed
ReplyDeleteis anyone safe at Joe Francis' house?
ReplyDeleteAwww, Willie is so not overrated.. he has a specific style and grace to his voice. I loathe most country music, but the man has a soothing voice I can't help but enjoy.
ReplyDeletejax made me lol.
ReplyDeleteAt 77, he should be able to smoke all the pot he wants. Them old joints ache. Marijuana laws are ridiculous.
ReplyDeletejax - good one.
ReplyDeleteDamn Enty you should have said
ReplyDeleteHe posted bond and was ON THE ROAD AGAIN. (So the song would be stuck endlessly in all our heads)
Willie and Snoop Dog should hook up maybe throw in Tom Petty go on the road for the SMOKIN' & Tokin' Tour.
Those must have been rookie cops that busted him. Anyone who's been around knows better than to bust Willie Nelson for pot. That's like trying to get James Bond to go to AA & Sexaholics Anonymous...it's just stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd Willie smokes that good shit, too...I'm jealous.
What is so sad about all this is that my husband's brother works as a BP agent in ElPaso. He does the dog patrol. Been there for over 10 years and loves it. But, he is the asshole type who would bust an almost 80-year-old LIVING LEGEND over a bag of the green stuff.
ReplyDeleteFree Willie!!!!
Nightmare Child - which better person for rookies to practice on than Willie Nelson? It was a sure bet.
ReplyDeleteHighly doubt he will do any jail time.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Willie. He was my very first concert when I was about 6.
