WOODSTOCK, N.Y. (AP) - "Singer Art Garfunkel, who pleaded guilty last year to pot possession in upstate New York, was charged again Sunday after a marijuana cigarette was allegedly found in the ashtray of his car, state police said.
The 63-year-old Garfunkel, who lives in Manhattan, was charged after being pulled over for failing to stop his vehicle at a stop sign, The Daily Freeman of Kingston reported Tuesday.
Upon approaching Garfunkel's car, a trooper noticed a strong odor of marijuana and a subsequent search turned up a joint in the ashtray, the newspaper reported. He was issued a ticket and is due back in Woodstock Town Court on Sept. 22."
Oh for chrissake enough. Find a joint on anyone over 21 and give them a slap on the wrist, done deal. Hemp is the best natural rope fiber in the world, so 75 years ago the rope manufacturers, who didn't want the competition, lobbied for marijuana to be made illegal for any purpose, and those antiquated laws serve no one any more, so grow up already.
Yeah, yeah I know, the children, the children. Well the children are smoking it whenever they bloody well want but it's expensive so the neighborhood boys gotta rob an old lady when they want to get high, and the neighborhood girls better be capable of tying a cherry stem with their tongues because THAT competition is fierce. The rich kids can buy all they want, most do, and then lord it over those less fortunate. Damn it all, it's GRASS not frickin HEROIN, and no, I don't use the stuff but enough is enough. Don't de-criminalize it, just make personal adult use akin to a parking ticket with no court appearance necessary.
