This isn't a shock. He's been well-known for smoking pot for years.
There's an 84 year old man not far from where I live that was arrested over the week-end for poking a police officer with his cane. Several times. No leniency for him.
Finding Willie Nelson holding pot is like finding Ru Paul buying shoes. I mean, is anybody really surprised? Ten to one the judge gives him a suspended sentence, and maybe makes him record one of those "Just Say No" commercials they love to have the famous people do.
*yawns* nothing new for old Willie LOL
Yep, no new news here...he's been popped for it before if I remember right lol. He can afford the consequences involved I'm sure.
On a similar note, I heard a radio personality today talking about this and then said something about a facebook page being started up because of the charges against him, it's called the "Tea Pot Party", or something along those lines.
It's illegal. Period. Until it's decriminalized there's no defence. Simple really.
