    I don't even know what to say about the marijuana issue anymore. Legalize, regulate, tax, end of discussion.

      I agree... and have authorities patrol the border and find criminals instead of chasing a talent and a descent human being

    Wille is from Texas Right? The Bush presidents are from there or have property there too.

    OMG, Willie Nelson uses pot!?!? Who would've ever guessed? It probably took a crack team of FBI profilers to uncover this heinous crime.

    Come on Willie! Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand? I know your Mama Tried, but you turned out to be the only hell your mama ever raised. Stop this and trust me, there ain't no good chain gang. Good thing it happened in Texas though, cause there ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no comfort in the can, when you're down in Matamoris getting busted by the man.

    This is pretty Silly. Firstly,the US and the states are losing millions in tax revenue for not making it legal. Secondly, if you are an addictive personality, anything will move you to the next level, thirdly, the cannabis is so much better when you get it from growers on this side of the border, then the crap you get from Mexico. Willie is great, just seems like he made a bad decision on this one.

  12. joe the govt worker..

    what about the mexicans ruining this country? Mexico is the toilet of the US so if a turd snuck up through your shower drain would you let it just sit there and spread disease and smell up the area? Why do we let ILLEGAL mexicans do it?

      Seriously, this is the best visualization for the disgusting and criminal illegal immigration problem I have ever seen! That's right, illegal = criminal, for the bleeding hearts.

    This must have been some kind of sting on him after the Letterman show earlier in the week. Letterman and Billy Bob Thornton was talking about how much pot is in Willie's bus during the show. I was cringing the whole time thinking they're going to go free Willie after the show.

    It's funny because when I think of the name, "Willie Nelson," I cannot help envisioning a marijuana leaf regardless if he makes the news, or not...
