LAFAYETTE, Louisiana (AP) -- 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 11/2 pounds of marijuana and 0.2 pounds of narcotic mushrooms, according to state police.
A call to Nelson's publicist wasn't immediately returned.
Also cited were Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Florida; Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, of Austin, Texas; and David Anderson, 50, of Dallas, Texas.
Each was released after being issued a citation.
Nelson, 73, has recorded songs including "On the Road Again" and "City of New Orleans."

I'm having visions of Jeff Spicoli's van door opening, and all the smoke pouring out.

I was thinking of Cheech and Chong's "Nice Dreams" with the cop asking if he could have some munchies.

I can think of better ways for the police dept. to use their time. Unless he was driving, which I don't think he was.

Bj makes a great point ...I have not used in many many many years ...alcohol was my poison ...drugs just kinda became uninteresting to me very early on ...kinda just grew up
too much time and money is spent locking people up who come home roll a joint and fall asleep naked in front of the tv watching court tv with a papa johns pizza ...are those really crooks ..i think not ...
we have rapist and child molesters running the streets ( thanks charlie crist ) ...but we spent money aressting joe pot smoker ...senseless

Yeah I know a guy who got arrested because cops in a Nat Gaurd blackhawk saw a single plant growing next to his garden. Hundreds of thousands of dollars went into arresting him, giving him 90 days in jail (suspended) a years probation and a $600 fine.
The judge was pretty irritated about that one.

This constitutes poor use of police time? People are driving around while using narcotics. Will you be saying the same thing when they plow into your car, or a car carrying some other member of your family? Probably not, considering it's a bus. You'll likely be dead.

Maybe you can read my post again. Please note that I said "unless he was driving"
