Nelson was busted over the weekend in Texas for possession of six ounces of marijuana. A criminal defense attorney in Austin tells us 6 ounces could get Willie 6 months minimum and 2 years max. But Bruce Margolin, director of the L.A. chapter of NORML, tells TMZ Willie has an ace in the hole -- convincing a jury he just forgot that the California-grown pot was on the bus -- and California is ok with medical marijuana. Or he could just try the, I'm Willie Friggin' Nelson!!! defense. See also Willie Nelson Busted for Pot Willie Nelson's Haircut -- Yay or Nay?

2 Willy is a bit old to still be stoning. Come on Willy, leave that shiz to the kids. Posted at 12:46 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by Cartman 5. This is such a WEAK A$$ bust...any yokel cop knows Willy's bus and they figure it's a sure bet if they pull him over...the man is HOW OLD...and if this is such a "Gateway Drug"? I think he's busted that gate wide open...yet here he is, still touring and doing his thing... Leave WILLY alone! Posted at 12:54 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by Lori 6. Damn Malcolm that was so well said I think many won't follow it. lmao. And I agree... Free Willy! Let the man be to smoke his pot. He's hurting no one. Texas is one of the worst states to get busted in too. In 2010 their laws are just ridiculous. Posted at 1:42 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by just sayin 7. I'm getting sick of this ****! Can't even smoke a little God healing herb, leave us weed smokers the fcuk alone. I've got chrons disease and no weed right now which basically means i'm fcuked. I've had diarreah all day cause I ain't got one small bowl hit that could totally releive my simptoms. but you know what, when I have weed, I feel GREAT! no diarreah, no feeling horrible cause anytime I feel like crap I just light up a bowl of that stickey icky and all the simptoms disappear. Weed heals! but you stupid fcuks don't want to legalize it so we won't be bothered by the nosey a$$ cops wanting to know if I smoked a little bit of weed, Mind your own fcuking business, nah you know what, go hit some weed and get back to me when you realize how much marijuana is needed in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted at 3:06 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by str8balln 8. Just like Waylon sang..."ain't no God in Mexico...Ain't no way to understand...how that border crossing feeling makes a fool out of a man." That whole song was about Waylon getting set up and busted in Mexico. I agree with #6, the law knew it was a sure thing to pull over Willie Nelson's bus. I love Willie (and Waylon), even named one horse Willie and one Gypsy! I know...play "Seven Spanish Angels" with Willie and Ray Charles before the court!! Surely they'll have mercy on him then. There wont be a dry eye in the house. FREE WILLIE!! Posted at 3:20 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by Kelly 9. There will be no competent evidence that Willie legitimately got this as medical marijuana in Calif. So the guy at NORML is on drugs. Also, #8 and #9 are probably on drugs, their comments just belie why dope should not be legalized! BTW, Malcolm, ya don't commit "treason" against the Constitution, and, the Feds have pre-empted the whole area of law affecting controlled substances like marijuana, so it matters not what the states might do with medical marijuana or dope, it is a legitimate exercise of federal power under the Constitution and it has nothing to do with what you say. So, Straighten Out and Fly Right. So there. Posted at 3:46 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by Hugh Jass 10.

When you have done so much and reached a certain age, you should be able to do what you want within reason and be left the hell alone. Posted at 3:51 AM on Nov 29, 2010 by Anon E Mouse 13.
