SEPTEMBER 22--Music and marijuana fans alike will appreciate this evidence photo memorializing the stash seized earlier this week from Willie Nelson's tour by Louisiana state police. During a September 18 traffic stop, cops smelled a strong odor of pot emanating from Nelson's bus. A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up about 1-1/2 pounds of pot and a bag of mushrooms. The drugs were later photographed on the hood of a police cruiser. Nelson, 73, and four other bus passengers (ages 75, 59, 54, and 50) were issued misdemeanor drug possession citations and released at the scene.
He had a nice little stash there.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Willie and his buds (pun intended) got off a little light. Misdemeanor charges. It wasn't that long ago a guy got caught with a pound or two of pot and he was charged with a bunch of stuff, including intent to distribute. Is it because it was Willie, or is there a certain weight of stash you need to have before the charges get bumped up?
Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I, Hallucinogenic substance. The possession of marijuana is treated a little differently than the possession of other Schedule I drugs (many of which carry life sentences). Unlike most states, the amount of marijuana in possession, as long as it is less than sixty pounds, does not matter. The penalties for possession are:
First offense: five hundred dollars and/or up to six months in jail.
Second offense: two thousand dollars and/or up to five years in jail.
Third offense: up to twenty years in jail.
Conviction for the possession of other Schedule I drugs can be considered in determining prior convictions for possession of marijuana.
Possession of sixty pounds but less than two thousand pounds: not less than ten years up to sixty years.
Possession of two thousand pounds but less than ten thousand pounds: not less than twenty years up to eighty years.
Possession of ten thousand pounds or more: not less than fifty years up to eighty years.
