LAFAYETTE, La. - Willie Nelson and four others were issued misdemeanor citations for possession of narcotic mushrooms and marijuana after a traffic stop Monday morning on a Louisiana highway, state police said.

The citations were issued after a commercial vehicle inspection of the country music star's tour bus, state police said in a news release.

"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odor of marijuana," the news release said. A search of the bus produced 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and 0.2 pounds of narcotic mushrooms, according to state police.

Nelson's publicist, Elaine Shock, declined immediate comment.

Also cited were Tony Sizemore, 59, of St. Cloud, Fla.; Bobbie Nelson, 75, of Briarcliff, Texas; Gates Moore, 54, of Austin, Texas; and David Anderson, 50, of Dallas.

Each was released after being issued a citation.

Nelson, 73, has recorded songs including "On the Road Again" and "City of New Orleans."

Once, I thought I was possessed by the spirit of Willie Nelson.
Turned out that it was just a bad reaction to a 'shroom.

Thank you....I don't have any stats, but I'll bet alcohol abuse does more damage & costs more lives than smoking weed.

Starbucks is liquid cocaine. This is coming from someone who has actually tried both but you don't see anybody in jail for selling this coffee on every corner.

And has been quoted as saying, "Marijuana is like sex. If I don't have some every day, I go crazy."

Ew. I don't wanna picture him doing either activity. But he did write Crazy, and it's one of the most beautiful songs ever (unless you've heard LaToya Jackson's wrecked version of it).
