Country singer Willie Nelson was arrested Friday on charges of marijuana possession by the U.S. Border Patrol in Sierra Blanca, Texas, CNN has confirmed.
No further details were available, and a message left for Nelson's publicist has not been returned.
So freakin what man
I support you Willie!!!! If "they" would legalize Marijuana I can almost guarantee the world would be a much happier place!!!!!!! Marijuana mellows an individual, it doesn't make them want to go KILL, FIGHT, DRIVE FAST and if a person on marijuana does drive ..... they are usually in the slow lane, CRUISING. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA PLEASE! If they would legalize it then a lot of the hard core crimes could be eliminated. There are a lot of people selling it illegally and even go to jail which could free up some space at your local prison.
I am truly shocked that a Willie Nelson would do such a thing.
who cares
Leave the guy alone.
An old school doper who should know better.

Not only was I once let go by the Mexican Border Patrol for a few roaches in the ashtray, I had a cop find my dugout in my car in Houston and when the one hitter fell out, he picked it up, put it back in my car, and let me go. It all depends on the cop. I've been neighbors with cops before. One was awesome. The other was a total loser (and I caught him drinking in his truck off-duty.) The one that arrested Willie will be known as the biggest bung-hole in the history of SIerra Blanca, TX- wherever the hell that is. I'm from Texas- and this is the first time I've heard of it.
The War-on-Drugs has been so expensive that the pursuit of rapi$t$ has been largely abandoned.

At least we aren't in danger from pot smokers
It's Willie. Leave him alone.
no information was available .... there is a great story on this on http://www.cbc.ca .... i wonder why CNN chooses not to run the full story ... very strange as most stories are cut and paste from one news site to the next ...

leave willy alone!
Oh well like this is a first for Willie!
Yes! Arrest this old man,border patrol! I mean, it's not like there's murderous Mexicans doing anything that may be a bigger issue that you should be more concerned about!
He wasn't driving his tour bus. As long as driver did not smoke nor drink, Willie can smoke and drink as much as he wants as a passenger of a large tour bus.
