   You can't be serious. Slow day at the border? It's not like Willie is driving the bus. His "stash" is for consumption not for sale. Give this a rest. It's rather amusing that anyone is wasting time on Willie getting wasted. Leave him alone. Pot doesn't kill. Alcohol kills, LEGAL drugs kill. No one has ever been prosecuted for violent crimes related to pot usage. Free Willie. He should have a free pass for the rest of his life. This man has contributed more to our society than any politician.

   Hey, let's hear it fro the troopers! I say we have some kind of award ceremony to commend them for their bravery. Must have taken some real courage to board ole Willie's bus. Well, at least the real criminals have nothing to worry about.

   Free Willie...I think it would better serve us if more energy was put forth to get Bin Ladin. Besides, how hard could it be to find a six foot arab tethered to a dialysis machine ????? Come on Larry King, tell these idiots to watch your show where Willie admitted he used weed. No big secret, hell how many million tuned in that night to see one of our natioal treasures talk ??? Didn't willie say he smoked weed on the roof of the White House when invited there to do a show for the Bush's?

   First of all, this is not news. Secondly, arresting people for marijuana is absolutely asinine, and a complete waste of time and resources.

   Willie only got caught with weed because he had already took all his mushrooms and forgot about the weed.This tired,old idiot ought to learn by now that with his money he could have a second vehicle follow and hide his stash in that one!...Wake up,Willie!

      His health is his own concern, not yours to mandate. Live your own life.

      When one shows genuine concern for the health of another, that is being compassionate and caring about their well-being. When another person tries to justify what that person does which would lead them to continue doing something harmful to themselves and even others, that is not caring. So, what's your excuse, Tommy!

      My excuse is that it's just weed, Cranter. Scientific evidence shows that there are a lot worse legal things you can do for your health. It's not about whether the concern for another's health is genuine, it's whether you feel like you have a right to make his choices for him.

      Tommy, I can see that you plainly don't get it. If someone goes out and robs a bank or goes out and kills someone just because they felt like it, what you are saying is that the law doesn't have any right to interfere with their choice. Well, I've got news for you buddy, it does! Anyone who does something that is against the law is going to end up paying for it whether it is the law that catches them or a citizen who reports them. That is just the way things are done in this country like it or not and it is the right thing to do, otherwise crime would run rampant much more than it already is with lax laws and just leaving it up to people to pick and choose which crime they want to engage in. That's the point that you need to truly understand.

    This is news? Man bites dog is news. Willie getting arrested for pot possession is more dog bites man. Willie has stated numerous times that he won't stop smoking pot and he doesn't care how many times he is arrested.
