Should have claimed to be in the country illegally.

So we're worried about marijuana but we're not too worried about child trafficking

Album sales will go through the roof now.

Legalize marijuana federally. Stop digging in our pockets

[gearjammer]

Well if he’d been at the White House this would’ve been no problem……

[SJ-niiy]

This is the real reason they don’t want to legalize weed. Cops wouldn’t know what to do without the old “I smell marijuana” excuse

[dapawaz]

I've never understood how something that grows outta the ground can be illegal.

[BirdieSenpai]

Don't y'all think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand? What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand.

[drsmith]

If a cop wants to search your car they just say they smell weed or alcohol.

[jamiblair]

Leave Jamey alone he's not hurting anybody he's a good singer and he's a good person leaving be there's bigger problems out there that need to be addressed😮❤

[mikecollins]

A musician smoking weed? What has the world come too 😮

[debbrarobinson]

I’m a huge Jamey Johnson now and always! ❤

[TheBambooZeezer]

They censor every bit of marijuana references in country music on the radio, however almost every country music song has a reference to or is about alcohol.

[sparkling]

Aww Jamey. I absolutely love him & I wish him the very best outcome with this. His voice is awesome! I’m a country singer from Scotland & I saw Jamey in Nashville. He’s friggin’ awesome! He’s the real deal. xx

This is the south in a nutshell. Illegal moonshine? We’ll let it slide. Marijuana? Devils lettuce.

[BlondeVolDoll]

How do they even let you go and then OVER A YEAR LATER decide to charge for something like that.😬 It’s weed, who cares! 😡

[recoveryrocksMN]

Welcome to America 🇺🇸. Its absolutely ridiculous we are talking about ANYONE being arrested for weed. ALCOHOL IS THE ROOT OF EVIL

[demo]

Seems to me that TN LEOs would be more concerned about all of the Venezuelan gangs infiltrating the major cities, and the number over 600 people arrested for DUI that weren't even drinking (a news story that was out about a week ago) than to go after minor charges. OH thats right country singers are the heartbeat of our nation and are an easy mark for money. TN must be hard up!

Nothing wrong with weed, pot, bud, flower whatever you wanna call it. Overcoming alcohol is a rough time..Everyone I mean everyone has had something to overcome. He did it leave him alone. A little weed .maybe good for some other people. Congratulations on stopping. I myself stopped in 86. My kids were my reason.
