In an exclusive to CelebStoner, Willie Nelson responded to his latest marijuana arrest in Texas by calling for a new political party: "There's the Tea Party. How about the Teapot Party? Our motto: We lean a little to the left."
When Nelson's tour bus was stopped at a border checkpoint in Sierra Blanca Friday morning, authorities smelled marijuana, searched the vehicle with K-9 dogs and found six ounces of marijuana. Nelson posted a $2,500 bond and was released four hours later.
"Tax it, regulate it and legalize it," Nelson continued in his email to CelebStoner. "And stop the border wars over drugs. Why should the drug lords make all the money? Thousands of lives will be saved."
Nelson has been arrested three times for marijuana - once before in Texas in 2005 and in Louisiana in 2006. The total number of Americans arrested for marijuana in 2009 was 858,408.

If that was anybody but Willie Nelson they'd have gotten possession with intent to distribute and a few years in jail...

I was just telling my friend the same thing. He's the only person in the world that can get busted with a large quantity and only get a possession charge.
I think the last time it was even more cannabis and mushrooms too and he only got a misdemeanor possession.
-------------------- Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

Part of the reduced charge deal is for Willie to start a web movement for people to join an anti drug war movement. Everyone who signs up will have an auto forward to the DEA.

I mean, more power to him, but still the judicial bias that exists today is just wack, to put it lightly.
