Willie smokes pot? no wai!

[olevetonahill]

I know , I was shocked to.

[SicEmBaylor]

Leave Willie alone.

[olevetonahill]

Leave Willie alone.

And while they at it they can leave Olevet alone also :cool:

[soonerchk]

He probably had a plan and forgot.

[StoopTroup]

6 ounces....just enough for a small buzz......

[waynepayne]

Willie needs to get himself some Febreeze - geesh

[Leroy Lizard]

Willie needs to get himself some brains

FIFY

[olevetonahill]

He had some but he SMOKED em

[StoopTroup]

He ain't that stupid....

[Leroy Lizard]

Heh.

Good singer. Not my cup of tea. But he has no more common sense than the average metalhead, which is sad because he should have enough experience behind him to know better.

[Fraggle145]

Maybe he just doesnt give a ****...

[Leroy Lizard]

Maybe he just doesnt give a ****...

Then they should just throw away the key.

[Fraggle145]

Then they should just throw away the key.

No.

Leroid can you get any dumber ?:rolleyes:

Who has Willie Nelson harmed as a result of his pot smoking?

*crickets*

...anyone?

That's what I thought.

The state, which is why the trial is titled "State of Texas versus Willie Nelson" (or something like that). You can't pick and choose which laws you want to obey. (Well, you can. But you have to pay the price.)

Frankly, if he can't obey the law he should probably stay in jail.

[WA. Sooner]

He is 77 and not bothering anyone, leave him the f--- alone

Flagrant violations of state law teaches the public to disrespect state law, especially when involving a popular celebrity.

He knows the law. All the MJ experts tell us that the drug isn't addictive. What excuse is there for his behavior?


He is 77 and not bothering anyone, leave him the f--- alone

The fact that he is 77 makes this even worse. He should know better by now.

(No, I don't think this is a serious crime requiring life in prison.)

Civil disobedience of unjust laws is the responsibility of all citizens of this country. It is all the more important that celebrities and the elderly show an example of civic responsibility to today's youth.

Civil disobedience of unjust laws is the responsibility of all citizens of this country. It is all the more important that celebrities and the elderly show an example of civic responsibility to today's youth.


A U.S. Border Patrol spokesman says country singer Willie Nelson was charged with marijuana possession after 6 ounces was found aboard his tour bus in Texas.

This clearly wasn't civil disobedience, and I'm tired of people confusing it with basic criminal activity. He broke the law and got busted -- hardly an act of heroism or courage.

And the law isn't unjust, as everyone is equally capable of obeying the law.

[StoopTroup]

Leroid....

He consistantly said that if it wasn't for pot he'd have drank himself to death. I think he's showed that he can not only comeback from the government trying to ruin him and make another successful run as an entertainer....he can do it stoned 24/7. He believes it's a much better thing to use than alcohol and for him...it works. As long as he's playing guitar and riding around in a Tour Bus I could give a rats *** whether he broke the law. I think he's a perfect example of why it should be legal for folks who need something to replace the addictions they developed or to fill a need to be social rather than straight and uncomfortable. Drugs have a place in our society. Thety have a place in our World. Those who think differently are either liars / hypocrites or very much the minority in this World. We all are addicted to something....you seem to be addicted to debating concrete walls.

How has he hurt the state of Texas? I have every right to say the law is bull****, ridiculous, and needs to be repealed.

The idea that Willie Nelson should go to jail and the people of the state of Texas should have to pay for his incarceration is just insane. It's government insanity pure and simply.

Willie Nelson has done nothing to "hurt" the state of Texas or the citizens of the state of Texas. He represents absolutely NO threat to society in any shape, form, or fashion.

How about not drinking and not smoking pot? It is quite possible to refrain from both.

This has to be the lamest excuse I have ever heard. "If it wasn't for burglary, I would be loansharking."

Use of the hyperbole "insane" doesn't exactly strengthen your argument. It is only in YOUR OPINION that jailing people for drug use is unreasonable. But others just might disagree with you... enough people to pass the law against it.

Even in tootie fruitie California enough of the population decided to retain the law banning pot. I am sure in Texas the percentage is even much higher.

It sounds like he has serious problems that are completely his own doing. So what sympathy does he deserve? No one put a gun to his head and told him he had to be a druggie.

I can see now that you are just another government loving liberal trying to steal individual rights from the citizens of this country, while simultaneous expanding the size and reach of the government. As a conservative, I will always support the rights of the individual over the state. As a liberal, you are the opposite. I see, now, that there is no further reason for us to debate.

[Leroy Lizard]

So you equate smoking pot to mass murder?

Lame attempt at feigning ignorance of my point.

Smoking pot does not constitute pursuit of happiness. No way, no how.

Now, if the government was forcing Willie to be a plumber for the White House when he really wanted to be a singer, you would have a point. But Willie wanted to be a singer (a legal activity) and wanted to be successful at it, and the government did not prevent him from doing so.

[Leroy Lizard]

He's a great musician who has helped a hell of a lot more folks than you will in your life....

He may have helped some individuals (although I don't know what that's all about), but he then set a terrible example for others to follow. He should have kept helping others AND set a good example. Then he would be more worthy of sympathy.

Has he helped more people than me? Considering my experience in education, dunno.

No feigning of ignorance, just pointing out how ridiculous your example was. There is no compelling government reason for pot to be illegal, there is an obvious compelling government reason for mass murder to be illegal. In the absence of a compelling reason, i believe the government is taking away our right to pursue happiness. You seem to have equated pursuit of happiness to pursuit of chosen profession. There is a lot more to the pursuit of happiness than the freedom to choose a job. And legality is not a legitimate argument either. The government has made a habit of making laws that are later overturned.

[Leroy Lizard]

No feigning of ignorance, just pointing out how ridiculous your example was.

There was nothing ridiculous about it. Both murder and pot smoking are illegal activities. The right to pursue happiness does not extend to criminal behavior.

Your argument would make more sense if there was a compelling reason that you could not pursue happiness without smoking pot. Good luck with that one.

I think you consider the right to pursue happiness the right to do anything you want as long as *you* don't *think* you're bothering anyone else. It doesn't quite work like that.

You have the right to pursue happiness. You don't have the right to pursue it in any manner you please.

And until they are overturned, they are the law of the land. And the process of overturning laws is straightforward. I suggest you try that route.

[DIB]

Your argument would make more sense if there was a compelling reason that you could not pursue happiness without smoking pot. Good luck with that one.

That is the difference between the two of us. You believe that an individual should prove why they have the right to do something; I believe the government should prove why an individual does not have the right to do something

It's a little thing called Farm Aid. many of them were probably gratefull enough to grow him some pretty good pot....:D

http://www.farmaid.org/site/c.qlI5IhNVJsE/b.2723595/k.EE67/Family_Farmers_Good_Food_A_Better_America.htm



Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid has raised more than $37 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture. Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep family farmers on their land.

[sooner59]

Nevermind me. I'm just passing through this thread. Looks fun, but the game is starting. :D

[Leroy Lizard]

That is the difference between the two of us. You believe that an individual should prove why they have the right to do something;

When a law exists, it is up to those who fight the law to prove that the law is unconstitutional. If they can't, then the law is allowed to stand. The government does not have to prove the constitutionality of a law in order to pass it.

I'm no fan of Obama's health plan, but the burden of proof is on the people to prove it unconstitutional.

Otherwise we would have to ditch almost every law we have on the books and clog the court systems with government appeals.

And there would be no hope for a community to pass any sort of ordinances with such a burden placed on it.


I believe the government should prove why an individual does not have the right to do something

Sounds great on a bumper sticker, but it's not very practical.


Then you have reading comprehension problems. I believe that the right to pursue happiness gives us the right to do anything that the government does not have a compelling reason to take away from us.

I believe otherwise, and I have the law and hundreds of years of court history on my side.

So now what?

His own personal money given to farmers would mean something. Not sure how much that is. Just playing at the venue... not so much. (Sure it helped, but he gained personally from the exposure as well.)

[SanJoaquinSooner]

nice box of rocks, vet.

[Frozen Sooner]

1. Unbelievably, and without meaning to, Leroy did an excellent job of giving an example of what "pursuit of happiness" meant in 1776. It doesn't mean "chase happiness." It means "whatever job you want." The phrase was a direct response to the British forbidding colonists certain lines of work.

2. "Compelling interest" is part of the test for burdening a fundamental right, not the test for passing any law. The states have broad police powers to regulate the sale and consumption of products. You're going to have a hard time finding anyone who would agree that smoking marijuana is essential to the notions of ordered liberty, or so inherent to fundamental freedom that it constitutes a fundamental right. And this is coming from someone who absolutely thinks that government should get out of the business of sending people to jail for smoking marijuana.

[StoopTroup]

His own personal money given to farmers would mean something. Not sure how much that is. Just playing at the venue... not so much. (Sure it helped, but he gained personally from the exposure as well.)

You're just being a dumbass about that. People have been doing this for lots of things that gave the money to folks who don't live in the US. He and the others who have kept Farm Aid going for over 25 years have kept the dough rolling in for Americans who have fallen on hard times or gotten sick and not been able to make their bank loans...etc.

Paint it however you want but his Philanthropy (Philanthropy is the effort or inclination to increase the well-being of humankind.) is the kind we need to see more of IMO.

Putting constraints on a guy that has made and lost fortunes and still managed to help so many shouldn't be taken lightly. He's a great Guy and even though he's a Texan....I still think he's a good example of how more Texans ought to act.

Blow it out your *** Leroid.

[bluedogok]

He was searched at a US Border Crossing checkpoint, anyone who has been on I-10 east of El Paso there knows that checkpoint is there. They don't stop everyone but I am sure a bus draw more scrutiny than most personal vehicles. The real idiot is the bus driver who decided to chance getting stopped at the checkpoint. There are enough alternate routes out of El Paso to bypass the checkpoint.

Leroid, I think you woul enjoy life a lot more if you smoked a big fatty first thing every morning. I am sure your posts would make a lot more sense as well, and they would be less circuitous.

As far as what 'right' has been taken, look to the 'right to be left alone'. Jefferson said that is the most important right we have.

As far as comparing murder and pot smoking because both are illegal, try to get someone to explain to you the distinction between "malum in se" and malum prohibitum".

Seriously dude, get a family pack of twinkies and bump the bong a couple a times. You might be a lot more tolerable.

[OUthunder]

yep. sit-ins in Alabama were illegal too. by your logic, Rosa Parks deserved to be in jail.

now, obviously i'm not equating the civil rights movement with legalizing pot, but just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong.

what better way to gain popular support of a law to be repealed than showing the public how dumb it is for someone to get arrested for breaking a dumb law?

marijuana is something that grows naturally from the ground, and can be argued to be less harmful than alcohol, which everyone can agree caused a lot more problems by being illegal than it does now.

How does smoking pot hurt the state?

I'll handle that one for Leroy:

Things are illegal because the State says so, and vice versa. The law must be obeyed because it is the law. If you break any law, you insult the dignity of the State. You must always do what the State says and never challenge the law. Because it is the law. It's all either black or white.

How much clearer do you need it to be?

Leroy is the most hated person on this board
Vet = Willie Nelson, so I guess Vet = Rosa Parks
pot grows from the ground, so it should be legal
something about civil disobedience
Willie does good stuff for farmers so he should be left alone

Forget it, I'm lost.

Willie smokes pot. Got it. He knows it is illegal, so he is taking the risk of arrest, jail, etc. That's his problem.

I would imagine that there are legal ways to get a law overturned/repealed. If you want to smoke a fatty legally, get some other smokers together and get stuff going. Until then, smoke at your own risk.

I think the 40mph speed limit on SE 29th between Westminster and Douglas is stupid, so I guess I'll keep doing 50, at the risk of a ticket from one of MWC's finest.

Nelson 'to sing' way out of jail (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12893244)

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/51886000/jpg/_51886893_nelson304getty.jpg

Country star Willie Nelson has been offered a plea bargain over his marijuana charge - to sing in a Texan courthouse.

Nelson, 77, was charged with possession of marijuana in November last year in Hudspeth, West Texas.

Hudspeth County District Attorney, Kit Bramblett, told local radio station WOAI: "I'm going to let him pay a small fine and recommend community service.

"I am going to say that Willie needs to sing Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain."
Bramblett said it was the Judge Becky Dean-Walker's favourite song and Nelson could sing it in the courthouse in the small West Texas town of Sierra Blanca.

"You can bet your a$$, I'm not going to be mean to Willie Nelson," Bramblett added.

Nelson's tour bus was pulled over in November by police - they confiscated between three and four ounces of marijuana which Nelson said was his and he was released on bail.

This amount qualifies for a Class B misdemeanour, which can be punished by a fine up to $2000 or up to 180 days in jail.

Country star Willie Nelson has been offered a plea bargain over his marijuana charge - to sing in a Texan courthouse.

Nelson, 77, was charged with possession of marijuana in November last year in Hudspeth, West Texas.

Hudspeth County District Attorney, Kit Bramblett, told local radio station WOAI: "I'm going to let him pay a small fine and recommend community service.

"I am going to say that Willie needs to sing Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain."

Way for the government officials in Hudspeth County to take their job seriously. :rolleyes:

The state, which is why the trial is titled "State of Texas versus Willie Nelson" (or something like that). You can't pick and choose which laws you want to obey. (Well, you can. But you have to pay the price.)

Frankly, if he can't obey the law he should probably stay in jail.
