Snoop Dogg Arrested for Marijuana Possession in Texas

FilmMagic

Rapper and medicinal marijuana enthusiast Snoop Dogg was arrested this weekend in Texas when a drug-sniffing dog discovered marijuana on his tour bus. The agents claim that a red prescription bottle with several joints was found in a trash can towards the back of the vehicle.

While Snoop is legally prescribed with his medicine of choice in California, Texas has a zero tolerance policy towards weed. When stopped and caught at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Snoop admitted to that the cannabis was his, was arrested and given a citation for misdemeanor drug possession.

Sierra Blanca is the very same town where fellow weed enthusiast and Snoop's "brother from another mother" Willie Nelson was busted in 2010, provoking Snoop's now-famous "They better leave Willie the f--- alone" rant.

Under a half-ounce of cannabis was confiscated from the tour bus. Snoop Dogg has been released but could face up to 180 days in jail if convicted of the drug charge.

Let’s keep celebrities and everyday citizens from crowding our courts and jails contributing to the money pit that is the War on Pot. When will our Government realize it can profit more from taxing the sale of the harmless medicinal herb than by jailing people for it? Groups are organizing all over the country to speak their minds on reforming pot laws and defending this plant. I drew up a very cool poster for the cause which you can check out on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-teapot-2011.html Drop in and let me know what you think!

Seems like a waste of time. What prompted them to stop the bus. I'm sure he wasn't driving. Live and let live. To many people in people's private lives.

What a society that makes things illegal that were created by the allmighty God.
To me it's unbelieveable that the Government believes there Omnipitent.
