Again, Willie?
FREE WILLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll never smoke weed with Wiliie again, in the fetal position with drool on my chin, I'll never smoke weed with Willie again!
Our government and its "Reefer Madness" is out of control – Child Molesters have an easier time with the law than a grown adult with a joint. Our government is disgusting.
you are so right Rick!!!! Enough already go after the real criminals leave Willie alone – he's old and deserves to be left alone. He's not hurting anyone.
we need to change this before its too late.
TOTALLY agree.
I'm going to play on both sides. AP picked this up yesterday, and it was reported he was caught with six ounces. Any cannabis user on here knows that at an ounce you automatically get charged with intent to sell, deliver, or distribute. At least for most Americans. His bond was extremely low for six ounces and he was charged with simple possession. If this were Snoop or Lil' Wayne this would be a totally different story. On the other hand, no one cares about cannabis except Congress that probably own stock in private prisons. Reagan is the reason that someone who is almost 100 can get arrested for this drug. Yes, the "War on Drugs" was a Reagan policy that has failed miserably. It has opened a lot of private prisons, but clearly it hasn't stopped anything. Congress could at least take it off as a Schedule 1 drug, especially since there were always medicinal uses for it. Also, there is mounting evidence it's less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco. They should smoke one just to see that they will either order a pizza, take a nap, or laugh a lot more in the next few hours.
AMEN!
WELL SAID, Sir!
> They should smoke one just to see that they will either order a pizza, take a nap, or laugh a lot more in the next few hours.
Wouldn't this then be covered under Michelle Obama's war on obesity?
It was a Nixon policy, Reagan just kicked it up a notch.
... It was Nixon who first uttered the words "War on Drugs." His administration wanted a way to show Americans that the Federal Government was "our friend," and could have a "positive" effect on a state-to-state level.
D2-I wasn't alive or thought of around the time of Nixon, so I just know that Reagan pushed it. He's the reason people get double digits for small amounts of cannabis.
Jeff-This has nothing to do with the Obamas. I am sure that if Obama could take cannabis off of the Schedule 1 list, it would have been done when he first got in office. Congress won't let it go because they have too much to lose if they do it. They're afraid the senior citizens aren't going to vote if they take it off when most senior citizens I know would love for them to take it off the list. They don't like going to dangerous areas to get something they want either. There is a market for it, it will create jobs, and cities would get some of the revenue they are losing now.
yes – well written!
Good post , must say that Nixon was the one. Reaguns never had a thought not scripted.
think of all the people willie nelson is hurting by smoking pot.
uuuuum....NONE!
what happened to our personal liberties????
why aren't people allowed to do whatever they want to themselves as long as it doesn't adversely affect the rights of others.
RON PAUL 2012. time to restore the republic!!!!
Ron Paul 2012............NOT!
I lived in Texas during the 2008 election. I had to WRITE in my vote for Ron Paul!! In his OWN State!!! Shameful!!
Puuuuullllleeeeeezzzzzzeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Leave Willie alone!
And the idiotic war on drugs continues . . . . .
The Bored Patrol had nothing better to do?
I am granting my royal pardon to Willy Nelson. Set him free.
my willie is free alredy
Free Willie.He's 72 for Christ sake.He's not driving,no danger he deserves a free pass for life.Go get the REAL criminals you so called cops.
The idiocy of us Americans - thinking it's okay to make pot illegal but alcohol is just fine!
Many people in the USA are struggling financially, but have no problem seeing much of their taxes wasted convicting and locking up people for nothing worse than having a couple of beers after a bunch of hysterical idiots 70 years ago outlawed pot.
Let's make alcohol illegal too then
I agree with your train of thought. BUT, you gotta watch, because MADD and the dummies like IGOR here would like to outlaw alcohol also and not legalize pot!!!
Why can't the Border Patrol do their job of arresting illegal aliens rather than harass Willie?
Because Obama and Eric Holder won't let them. Bad career move to catch Illegal Aliens if you are a Border Patrol Agent. Obama and his cronies need the Hispanic vote, Illegal and legal, for the 2012 elections. They are counting on it, especially now that ACORN is gone and they cannot register any more ghost voters.
Our country is in need of a revolution. It has been along while since we have had one. The people need to rise up and take control of this country again! For the people, by the people of the people! The people that control this country whether it be political or corporate they are no good for this country. How many americans have to be squeezed and strangled to death morally and financially before we have the rich and the poor nothing else. 1% control 99% of the money in this country and 99% have the 1% that's left. Our countries founding fathers and mothers are rolling in their graves at what this country has become and will continue to be. The freedoms and rights that all americans have are being slowly tested and twisted and if we don't stop these people at the top that want to tell us how to live every day life, we will lose our freedoms 1 by 1 until we are nothing but molded americans that they succeeded on creating.
keep writing this crap and one day you'll get a knock at your door...
I have been ready for years now. I won't lead, but I WILL follow. I wonder how many others feel the same way. Talking doesn't help. Yelling doesn't help. Tea Party's don't change much. Maybe it is time to get a rope and make some changes. Nothing else seems to work.
People like radiator hose are cows to be led to slaughter. Look, the 1% only think they are in charge. History always repeats itself. The US is Rome and Rome fell due to greed, this is inevitable. Deal with it. The masses can only be kept down for so long, then "POP". Then when will the rich hide, and they will hide.
@Radiator Hose-I dont think anyone who says "My Willie is already free" has any right to tell people about the "crap" they are writing!
We NEVER had control of this country. Information availability is making us more aware of how ridiculous govt is. Since winners write history we THINK we used to have some influence. We do need to do something, but need to remember we don't live in a vacuum. Seems like things are so bad, but we've never had it better except for around 5-10 years ago. Things will improve as long as we have sound logic as our guide, not irrational emotions.
Arresting Willie for weed? Why bother? He won't stop. Neither will the millions of other non-violent Americans that smoke weed. This country's legislation needs some major overhauling.
No one is above the law, he just plain messed up this past Friday by havin' it on him.....
Willy violated no "Law," he broke a rule, a regulation.........dippidee doo dah day.
Tell this to the corporate CEO's and companies like Haliburton. Tell this to the shadow government leaders that good old crooked GW put into effect. IF the law is the law, then why are there so many illegal "visitors" in this country. Where is justice, it is in the toilet for the top 1%, they don't have to follow the laws they wrote, because they are above the law, at least they think so.
