Willie Nelson Cited for Drug Possession Sep 18 1:06 PM US/Eastern

Willie Nelson and several members of his band were issued misdemeanor citations for drug possession early today during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish. The traffic stop was conducted on Interstate 10 near Breaux Bridge.

Trooper Willie Williams says troopers smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.

During a search of the bus, Williams say approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and approximately 2/10 of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.

The 73-year-old Nelson of Spicewood, Texas; 59-year-old Tony Sizemore of Saint Cloud, Fla.; 75-year-old Bobbie Nelson of Briarcliff, Texas; 54-year-old Gates Moore of Austin, Texas; and 50-year-old David Anderson of Dallas, Texas were issued citations for possession of mushrooms and possession of marijuana and released.

But what about Blue Bell Ice Cream out of Brenham? I heard the cows think it's heaven there?

[Sir Gawain]

This event argues against the notion that marijuana is not habit forming.

Anecdotal evidence argues nothing.

Pot does not change a person's beliefs.

Wanna bet? Let's say you don't believe in eating Cheetos. Then you smoke...

[justshutupandtakeit]

ummm, cheetos.

[kittymyrib]

Was that during or after Cindy Sheehan's sleep-over at his place?

[Heyworth]

Then he started smoking it again and I believe it contributes to him being a derelict and misfit.

Care to compare net worths with that derelict?

" ... The milk of more than 50000 cows from Jersey and Holstein herds on farms within 200 miles of Brenham is delivered to Blue Bell's plants every day ..."

Smoking pot doesn't make you not know what you are doing. It makes you not care.

Well, I just googled and read a little more than I wanted to know about psilocybin 'shrooms.

Apparently, some people with cluster headaches, vascular headaches and migraines are now swearing by psilocybin and LSD treatments, lol. The 'shrooms are legal in Amsterdam and for medicinal purposes, some places in the UK.

I don't know if that includes the British Virgin Islands, where they have a mushroom tea party at one bar every full moon. It's illegal to sell the tea, so they give it away. I've heard about tourists falling down the hillsides behind Bomba's Shack while going out looking for more 'shrooms there.

Anyway, because of all this interest, there are now mail-order growing and indoor cultivation kits available, so no messy cow-tipping to get at them. Sales and possession of the psilocybin spores themselves are not illegal, *according* to the websites.

"When I attended college, (Auburn University aka The Cow College), a couple of our best football players were caught walking around pastures picking mushrooms. I always giggled picturing them spending hours in a field of cowpies searching for the rarely present shroom."

When I was in college we went to a Coleman dairy farm a couple of times to pick shrooms and they were everywhere you looked. The field would be full of people just before sunrise out there with big plastic bags and flashlights. You could be in and out with a bread bag full of nice shrooms in just a few minutes. You could get out quicker if you didn't leave a few of the bigger ones that were opening and dropping their spores, but proper shroom picking etiquette required that you left a few in every spot where you found them to make sure enough spores would drop to keep the field going. The folklore at least was that the bigger ones weren't any more powerful than the smaller ones anyway so you'd have to consume a bigger portion to get the desired effect. They were pretty nasty tasting. We'd wash them and then boil 'em, mash 'em, strain out the pulp and mix a lot of grape Koolaid mix and sugar with the remaining purple/black "tea." You didn't want to do that more than a couple of times. That was twenty years ago and I gag thinking about it.

Bullsh#t.

Okay. That's it.

I'll Never Smoke Weed With Willie Again.

Doesn't God also grow wild hemp?

Maybe it just makes people think that things aren't as serious as they think.

Nowadays it's not much different, I used to live in Upstate NY and people had huge bags of mushrooms from the cowfields up there. The problem with that is that not all of the mushrooms are "magic" and some of them just make you sick. Then I started working with this band, and one of the guys had been a mycologist (mushroom expert) in college. He had a mycology degree, textbooks, and everything. Well come to find out, his attic was decked out as a pretty good mycology lab, he grew several pounds of mushrooms every month. At $200 a pound, that's not a bad side operation.

I've only eaten them a few times and don't really care for the "high" you get. I'm not a fan of drugs having never done anything other than smoke a lot of weed in my day and I ate mushrooms a few times. I wouldn't suggest running out and trying them, but they are pretty much harmless and what it does to you is short-lived (a few hours plus a "hangover" the next day), but the experience is interesting.

Here's an article from CBC detailing some mushroom experiments: Mushroom drug creates mystical experience: study

Yes, and He does a good job of it!
