Rapper Snoop Dogg Arrested on Marijuana Charge in Sierra Blanco, Texas

How is it possible that rich and famous people just get around the law like this? I support legalization, not just for medicinal use, but recreational use also. But is really makes me angry when the laws just dont apply to people with money. He got busted with 10 lbs. Last time i checked thats a pretty serious felony, not a class C misdemeanor. #$%$

marijuana help me through my cancer i couldnt eat with out it.

Glad the media reports this stuff so maybe the stupid #$%$ lawmakers will get the big picture weed is harmless and need's to be legalized for god sake! When was the last time you heard of some getting hi and beating there wife or kids? When was the last time you heard of some one over dosing on it? Yes the amount he had was just for a few day road trip he must be cutting back lol

hey that won't his four year old just got popped frontin at school......sippin on gin an juice....

Only 10 pounds? Snoop Dog must be trying to kick the habit!

weed's illegal, but its okay to get wasted on alcohol and be a sloppy drunk killing machine

In other breaking news, scientists have determined that water is wet.

Shoot only ten pounds! I got much right here!!

Has anyone ever died from smoking to much weed? i didnt think so,but i guess crack,cocaine and heroin is ok...opps forgot about meth...wow this is a serious crime ,wonder if Texas will execute him? Legalize it and be done with it! Smoking pot is better than smoking Cigarette's

caught...whatever.

Obviously financing the drug cartels in Mexico is no big deal. The U.S. should make up it's mind before more people die. Are drugs legal or not?

When oh when will we stop the crazy prohibition on weed! Federal laws suck! Here's token to you Snoop.

What the ? legalize it, stop the maddness, put criminals in jail, fed laws suck and so does the political system that makes these stupid laws, old men with thier tighty whities so tight that that they cannot think or see the real issues we are facing in America, send um all packing, vote no in November to um all.

And this is news.

I never smoked it. Medical marijuana prescriptions help patients who suffer from conditions including: MS, HIV/AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease, nail patella, cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe/chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, epilepsy, muscle spasms, anorexia, arthritis, migraine, decompensated cirrhosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, painful peripheral neuropathy, MD, inflammatory bowel disease, and other serious conditions. In 1998, 69% of the citizens in Washington, D.C. voted to legalize it. Republican Congress at that time blocked implementation by withholding funding. It passed unanimously in 2010. Cannabis extracts killed cancerous tumors on patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma. Montel Williams has a few videos on youtube that will educate you out of your stereotypical concerns. 16 states already legalized it and Washington DC. For the last 37 years, every month on the 17th, patients around the US received cannistars of marijuana grown and dispensed through a program out of the University of Mississippi. The Fed. Gov. gave itself a patent on the 3 chemicals that were identified through research paid for by the Fed. Gov. in the US and countries like Israel because within the next year the patent on a chemical called marinol, which is sold here in the US, will run out and there are pharmaceutical companies lined up to fill the void with a generic real cannabis based product rather than synthetic. The initial reaction people have to legalizing it is that it will be hijacked by drug dens to sell drugs. That's not what is going on. A serious protocol has been set up in Sacramento California to be followed by the 16 states and Washington DC. and in Israel where since 1997, doctors dispense this to their patients at state run hospitals on a monthly basis in a way that makes it no different than any pharmaceutical agent. They’ll also reach out to the other 9 countries that have changed their cannabis laws as well to allow compassion for the people who can utilize it as a medical agent. The laws are not written to allow public access. Washington DC has the most stringent laws over any other and will be the final followed protocol. There is a serious limit to the amount that the facilities can grow and dispense which also kills any idea of it being a money making opportunity for dealers, etc. It is monitored more stringently than any of the commercial drug stores out there. People are suffering and currently being over prescribed in narcotics. This legalization would make cannabis a viable option. This has been going on for a lot of years and constantly made more stringent to eliminate the possibility of it being hijacked by drug dealers, etc. The current narcotics being prescribed are causing too many undesirable consequences. Diamorphine is prescribed to people with cancer and that is less than a molecule away from Heroin and is prescribed by doctors every day. That doesn't affect a lot of illnesses that would be affected from various parts of the cannabis plant. The scientists and doctors are finding the chemicals in this plant that will provide the medical capabilities that patients need. Our gov. has already confirmed it's medical efficacy. The main issue now is getting it to the people that need it. The most current protocol and legislation written makes it impossible to violate. There’s a serious limit to the amount that can be grown and dispersed. The growth facilities are closed facilities not accessible by the public. Only secured outward access to take them to a dispensory. At the dispensory you must be a registered doctor with a vailid recommendation for a registered patient. Patient must be registered which informs the community that the patient is receiving medical marijuana for a medical condition. Sacramento California facility can be inspected any time.

I agree with the Kinks----give the people what they want! A legal marijuana ,taxed and regulated ,would pay for many people's health care!

Take weed away from Snoop Dogg??? May as well change the colors of the US Flag!!

What? I thought they gave their confiscated stash to Snoop for "disposal"

The dog (not the Dogg) sniffed the bus, walked away and demanded a six pack of White Castle Burgers with fries but settled for a large bowl of Pedigree Chicken, Rice and Vegetables.

Last week news. Slow day on the news front. No more Tebow, #$%$ it.
