LAFAYETTE, La. (Sept. 18) - Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana after a traffic stop Monday morning on a Louisiana highway, state police said.
The citations were issued after a commercial vehicle inspection of the country music star's tour bus, state police said in a news release.

"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.

Nelson's publicist, Elaine Shock, declined immediate comment.

Also cited were Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Fla.; Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, of Austin, Texas; and David Anderson, 50, of Dallas.

Each was released after being issued a citation.

Nelson, 73, has recorded songs including "On the Road Again" and "City of New Orleans."

Mushrooms and pot, give the guy a break for christsakes....

[DrMaddVibe]

He got a break!

Let's see what happens if YOU get busted with that much!

[Hardrock69]

Shit, if it was yer average joe, they woulda thrown them in prison and thrown the key away.

As it is, charging him with midemeanor drug possession for ONE AND A HALF FUCKING POUNDS? :eek:

Man....

[Coyote]

"Cowboys do more dope than rock'n'rollers..." :D

[binnie]

Sorry, but it's not like he's mainlining crack is it.

Harmless drugs aren't they.

The police should focus on catching real criminals!

[Unchainme]

Didn't this guy smoke pot in the white house as well?

WTF?

[Terry]

Talk about a no-brainer for the cop who ran his Winnebago plates:

"Let's see who this vehicle belongs to...WILLIE NELSON?!"

(cue police sirens)

[Tiki-Tom]

Just one of many times. Ol' Willie really likes his weed!

"On May 10, 1994, Willie was arrested for marijuana possession when a police officer found a joint in his ashtray during an illegal search of his car. He faced six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Months later, he passed up performing at the Grammys to fight for his constitutional rights in a court hearing where he said: "It is becoming apparent in this country that we are losing our rights one after another."

Damn Willie. First a joint, and now a pound and a half. And that's just the times he got caught. Willie sure is good to his crew.

[Matt White]

HA!!!

I heard the reason 5 of 'em were charged...

they all claimed part of the pot...so nobody got hit with the 1 1/2lbs....

That's why the misdemeanor charges......

Crafty!:D


Now the 'shrooms might cause a bit more trouble...

I kinda guessed Willie was the "Space Cowboy":cool:

[Panamark]

I got to give up booze and get back on the Ganja and Shrooms :)

Willie's fookin 73 and doing this shit !!
He looks the same as he did when I was fucking 4 years old....

[Panamark]

And I totally would have voted "Are you kidding ??" :D

The dude looks like he would fire up a scoob before he
gets out of bed !

Wille once said he got along fine with hippies because they smoked the same stuff.

Weed With Willie
(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)

I always heard that his herb was top shelf
I just could not wait to find out for myself
Don't knock it til' you tried it, Well I tried it my friend
And I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and passed him around
The last words that I spoke before they tucked me in
Was I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

I hopped on his old bus, the Honey Suckle Rose
The party was Vegas it was after the show.
Alone in the front lounge with just me and him,
With one parting puff grim creeper set in.

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

Now we're passing the guitar and telling good jokes
I know ones a-comin' cause I'm smelling smoke
No I do not partake, I just let it pass by
With a smile on my face and a great contact high

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My parties all over before it begins
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

In the fetal position with drool on my chin
I messed up and smoked weed with Willie again

LOL !

I read a good version of "To all the joints I smoked before"
somewhere a few years ago too....

I know this is not setting a good example, but fuckit, Im full
of admiration for the guy, he's partying on until he passes on..
No doubts !

Seems to have most his marbles still, too...
(Except I think he needs better accountants looking after him)
