A Milwaukee judge has dismissed a drug paraphernalia possession charge against Montel Williams. It turns out a marijuana pipe the the former talk show host was busted with has tested negative for marijuana.
You may remember back in January, Williams — a card-carrying medical marijuana advocate, was busted by TSA agents at Milwaukee’s airport after they uncovered the pipe in question during a security check. Williams paid the $484 citation, but disputed the ticket he was issued.
Here’s what Montel had to say:
“I’m thankful that episode behind me . I use marijuana legally to relieve the chronic pain caused by multiple sclerosis.”
Cases like Montel’s are nothing more than a waste of tax payer’s money. America is close to $14 Trillion in debt — legalizing marijuana would only put money back into the economy. Our government spends over $19 Billion a year on the war on drugs, including pot which should be legal.
I say put some of that $19 Billion back into the economy, so the government can pay our school teachers better. Countries where drugs are legal have proven to have drug usage at an all time low (much lower per capita than the USA).
