• Moonshine and marijuana were found on Willie Nelson’s tour bus Thursday night. Six band members were cited – but not arrested – for possession. Nelson was not present when the officers issued the citations.

According to the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Division, “The band members were very respectful of law enforcement.” Also, “We did it (processed the band members) as fast as possible so it wouldn’t delay the concert.” …More @ starnewsonline.com

• Seems Colorado’s legislature would like to curb the number of medical users in the state by passing a bill to make obtaining (or renewing) a medical card more difficult. One state senator believes that such a bill could cut Colorado’s MMJ users by a third. …More @ 9news.com

• Speaking of Colorado, a Denver laboratory that tests pot potency so dispensaries can better advise their patients was raided by the DEA Wednesday. No information regarding the reasoning behind the raid has been made available as of yet. Samples of medical pot were seized but no arrests were made. More @ denverpost.com

• iGrow, a “15,000-square-foot superstore” dedicated to all things medical marijuana, opened in Oakland Thursday. The store sells equipment and offers classes for growing medical pot and even boasts an on site doctor to accommodate qualified patients who don’t yet have their recommendation. Plus, there’s the “Grow Squad,” expert cultivators who provide complimentary advise. Also, the store has the outright support of several City Council members. …More @ mercurynews.com

• Some folks get creative when smuggling marijuana across the border. Some get caught with 25 pounds of pot hidden under wet clothes in a laundry basket.

i met willie at the fillmore in san francisco a few years ago. sat on the infamous bus, burned a few down, gobbled up some shrooms, and hungout with them all night long.

a little out of place
a little out of tune
sorta lost in space
racin' the moon
climbing the wall
of a hurricane
still over all
i cant complain

all i wanted was one chance
to let freedom ring
they told me i had to get a permit
tags and everything
i never made it through the red-tape
i got this paper hat
i got a job working weekdays
do you want fries with that?

Crack dealers sling their poison out in plain sight. The cops won't go after them because they are scarred. It is much easier to pull over a giant bus that they know might have entertainers or high profile people on it. Come on law enforcement, have some balls! Stop this redonkulous stereotyping and go out and look for real threats! Herion, meth, cocaine and pharmicies are the real problems (and alcohol). How proud you must feel, you took a little weed from people minding their own business. Wow.

Willie is known for two things, music and his love of cannabis. The police know when they see his bus that there's a good chance someone has something inside. The police can say they smelled this or that but we all know that they were just getting an easy mark. My question to law enforcement is, are your towns so broke that you have to go around busting people for simple possession just to keep the money coming in to your departments?

I wonder what the probable cause was for the lawbots to pull over or search Willie's bus. The bots probably knew it was an easy target...

And after I get my horticulture degree, I'm movin' to Cali!

CONCERNING THE RAID ON THE MARIJUANA LAB.
IT'S AN INFORMATION GATHERING JOB BEING DONE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOING A NAME CHECK AND OF COURSE THERE'S LOTS OF MONEY THEY'RE INTERESTED IN TOO.
DO'NT BE SURPRISED TO SEE FEDERAL CHARGES TO BE BROUGHT AGAINST THE "BIGGER FISH".,ANYONE ELSE MIGHT AS WELL BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST FROM THE LOCAL POLICE TOO LOOKING FOR EASY BUSTS TOO PROVE THEIR WORTH TO THE PUBLIC.

LIMITS ON THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS?!?! BY WHAT MEANS?
DO YOU HAVE TO "PROVE" YOUR NEED BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT IN A COURT OF LAW?!? IS THAT WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE?!?!?
WE ARE ALL PRESUMED GUILTY IN OUR COURTS OF LAW NOWADAYS SO..., WE MIGHT AS WELL BE PRESUMED NOT AN ACCEPTABLE PATIENT FOR MARIJUANA USE TOO!!??!!!?? RIGHT?!?

GIVE THE GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER ANYTHING AND YOU GET AN EVER GROWING BEUROCRACEY AND HOOPS TO JUMP THROUGH TOO!!!

Welcome to the Future lyrics

When I was ten years old
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight-hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I'd have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I've got it on my phone

Chorus:
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future

My grandpa was in World War 2
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed them from his base in the Philippines
I wish they could see this now
Will they say it's changed a note
'Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo

Chorus:
Hey, everyday's a revolution
Welcome to the future

Hey, look around it's all so clear
Hey, wherever we were going, well we're here
Hey, so many things I never thought I'd see
Happening right in front of me

I had a friend in school
Running back on the football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the homecoming queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who'd seen what he'd seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream

Chorus:
Hey, wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future

A vaporizer is much better than a joint in my opinion. I bought a Super vapzilla (SP?) a while back and for at home it does just fine.
I have never cooked with the used material, but I'm going to guess that you need a large amount to get anything decent out of it.
I did run one OZ through the vaporizer twice when times were tight and I was able to catch a buzz, just not like the first time.

back by popular demand and still fighting the man in Georgia. do you think i would get tickets for shine and weed and be on my way?

?????????????

Jan 30 2010, 3:01 pm

Can anyone tell me if the high from smoking from a vaporizer is as good as a joint??? IF so, what is the best vaporizor to use???

Do you throw out the vaped weed or cook with it???

How easy would it be for a vacationer, to hook up on some good seed in California??? Would you just approach someone outside a medical shop, that has a license???

?????????????????????????????????

Damn, if I said it once I said it a 100 times; "I ain't never gonna smoke weed with Willie again"!
The last time was in northern Louisianna in '06. We weren't a botherin' nobody and up comes these here Sheriff's ...
Fortunately nothin' bad happened after Willie bought a 1000 tickets to the Parish's Annual Policeman's Ball.

For all of you up tight types I was actually on the Gulf coast. The whole tour bus got off and a 1/4 lb was confiscated. Factual lies and fictional facts. You go with yoself Willie!!!
