Wow, with 1.5 pounds of marijuana and some mushrooms I know I wouldn't be just issued a ticket.  I thought LA was suppose to be hard on people like that.   Salvia's even illegal there.

LAFAYETTE, La. (Sept. 18) - Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana after a traffic stop Monday morning on a Louisiana highway, state police said.

The citations were issued after a commercial vehicle inspection of the country music star's tour bus, state police said in a news release.

"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odor of marijuana," the news release said. A search of the bus produced 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and 0.2 pounds of narcotic mushrooms, according to state police.

Nelson's publicist, Elaine Shock, declined immediate comment.

Also cited were Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Fla.; Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, of Austin, Texas; and David Anderson, 50, of Dallas.

Each was released after being issued a citation.

Nelson, 73, has recorded songs including "On the Road Again" and "City of New Orleans."

Yeah some of them are even older than us, old buddy.

May the universe bless Willie Nelson for not giving an inch!

Toby Keith was on Colbert or the the Daily Show telling cannabis related stories about Willie and his tour bus. Call me paranoid, but I couldn't help but wonder if public statements of that nature were really in Willies best interest.

Yea, that may or may not be in his best interest.  I wouldn't sit around telling Willie stories right now.  I heard they cited so many people because everyone keep insisting it was their stuff and wouldn't let the others take the fall, so the cops finally just ticketed everyone.

LOL Sounds like they went down in style.

Btw, Toby Keith was flipping his flap on national tv days before Willie was busted. Now I'm wondering if TK was the guy who wrote the song about Willie/his bus and cannabis awhile back. Funny as hell..... but advertising of that sort might cost as much in jail time and fines than it brings in as royalties, no?
