<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Country singer-songwriter Willie
Nelson and several fellow musicians were charged with
misdemeanor drug possession by Louisiana police after a search
of their tour bus on Monday turned up marijuana and psychedelic
mushrooms.</font></font></p>
<p>
<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">State police spokesman Willie Williams said the bus was
stopped early on Monday morning about 7 miles east of
Lafayette, Louisiana, for a routine commercial inspection, and
a state trooper smelled marijuana inside the bus.</font></font></p>
<p>
<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">State Police seized about 1-1/2 pounds (0.7 kg) of
marijuana and two-tenths of a pound (91 grams) of mushrooms
from the bus, Williams said.</font></font></p>
<p>
<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">Nelson and four other passengers on the bus were cited for
possession and released, while the driver had his commercial
driving privileges suspended in addition to being cited for
possession. Nelson faces possible jail time of up to six months
and an unspecified fine, police said.</font></font></p>
<p>
<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">&quot;There was no trouble whatsoever,&quot; Williams said. &quot;They
were all cooperative.&quot;</font></font></p>
<p>
<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">A spokesman for Nelson said she had no information about
the arrest.</font></font></p>
<p>
<font face="Verdana,Sans-serif"><font size="2" color="black">Nelson, 73, has been an advocate for the legalization of
marijuana. He became famous in the 1970s as part of the outlaw
country movement that included influences from rock, jazz and
folk music.</font></font></p>

not to be a potty pooper but if this was the average&nbsp; man caught on the street corner with a pound and a half of weed would it have been a misdemeanor(sp?)

[suggums]

I always heard that his herb was top shelf<br />
I just could not wait to find out for myself<br />
Don't knock it til' you tried it, Well I tried it my friend<br />
And I'll never smoke weed with Willie again<br />
<br />
I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town<br />
He fired up a fat boy and passed him around<br />
The last words that I spoke before they tucked me in<br />
Was I'll never smoke weed with Willie again<br />
<br />
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again <br />
My parties all over before it begins<br />
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend<br />
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again<br />
<br />
I hopped on his old bus, the Honey Suckle Rose<br />
The party was Vegas it was after the show.<br />
Alone in the front lounge with just me and him,<br />
With one parting puff grim creeper set in.<br />
<br />
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again <br />
My parties all over before it begins<br />
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend<br />
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again<br />
<br />
Now we're passing the guitar and telling good jokes<br />
I know ones a-comin' cause I'm smelling smoke<br />
No I do not partake, I just let it pass by<br />
With a smile on my face and a great contact high<br />
<br />
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again <br />
My parties all over before it begins<br />
You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend<br />
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again<br />
<br />
In the fetal position with drool on my chin<br />We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Furtherman]

I thought that people just agreed to let him smoke wherever, whenever, decades ago.&nbsp;

[blakjeezis]

Can we fucking leave Willie alone, please. I mean c'mon, seriously. I tell you what. Bust me instead. I'll do the time, pay the fine, whatever. Jesus Christ, it's Willie Nelson. Can everybody fucking relax. Turn it down several hundred notches. <br />

[Dirtybird12]

<p>I feel safer as an american knowing that bad guys like Mr. nelson are being arrested for spending the last few years of his life enjoying natures candy. </p>
