Slightly Stoopid Escape Drug Bust ... Slightly

All puns on the band name aside, when Slightly Stoopid passed through the U.S./Canadian border recently, they gave customs (and us) something to write home about: they were caught with an eye-raising amount of marijuana and paraphernalia -- a whole three ounces and more than a dozen glass bongs. Oh yeah, and a handful of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Fortunately for them, border patrol knows the cred that bringing home autographed CDs might get you with the kids. According to the website Celebstoner, the band escaped with two members getting written warnings, a $5,000 fine and a proverbial "tsk-tsk" (for felony charges that carry possible imprisonment). A band-issued statement claims that afterwards, the officer "asked for an autographed CD and told the band to have a good show in Fargo."


To those with decent deductive reasoning skills, this news should come as little surprise. After all, Slightly Stoopid has toured extensively with Snoop Dogg's boys, 311. So nobody thought they were stocking their bus with bubble gum and lollipops. Now, Kool Aid, on the other hand ... it's electric.

by the sound of that story i would bet that shauns and your dads story is a little diff. than yours lol nice try

Unfortunately, that's exactly what I thought some Stoner like you would say. I agree it's sounds a little far-fetched, but you might want to take the time to look up the info before you dis me . . .

Look I could care less who smokes what or when. However I do care when it involves my welfare and a couple criminals.

My father is listed on Megan's Law / The Welcome to California Website. And if you are coherent enough at this time of the Night or Day - Shaun Eric Wright's case is documented all over the Internet. It's not hard to find.

As for my father . . . he's listed on

The only thing that keeps me from smoking macoña (brasilian for weed) is that it's illegal.
It should be legalized and the price would drop from $120 to $10 per ounce; even better, home growing would put the bad guys out of bussunes.

Look up Shaun Eric Wright. His case changed California Law for Posession and Transportation of Medicinal Marijuana. He was granted a Prescription for Weed by some Beverly Hills "Voodoo Doctor" because he had a Tummy Ache. Shaun was caught with a Digital Scale; a Kilo(+); Several Baggies of Ready Weed For Sale in his Truck; plus a couple Joints in his shirt pocket and had just finished smoking a Joint. He "claims" that because of his Tummy Ache, he had to grind-up Weed and put in his food in order to ease the "Pain".

That's Funny . . . I thought Shaun said he needed to grind-up the Weed and put in his Food . . . Is that why he was Smokin it??? Or Wait . . . Is that what the Baggies were for??? Or wait a minute . . . It wasn't Shaun, it was his Imaginary Friend! No . . . It was Shaun's Evil Twin . . . . .

Anyways . . . Shaun Eric Wright spent a Year in Jail (that's where he met my father) while awaiting his Infamous Trial in Orange County, California. After all the evidence presented, he was actually "Acquited" because . . . . The Huntington Beach Police didn't make him take a Breathalyzer Test - (to prove he was loaded or something?)

What?? Are you kidding me! It just goes to show what kind of representatives are running California.

After spending in year in Jail, housed on the second floor (for inmates that are convicted child molesters, or require medications, etc.) he befriended my father.

Now he is my Father's Elder Care Giver and the Sole Beneficiary of my Father's Will. That ought to be enough for Shaun to purchase Weed, comfortably for the rest of his life - for that little Tummy Ache that he has.

But that's not all . . . After Shaun Eric Wright became aware of and the beneficary of my father's will, he decided to step right into our personal family business. He called the Police to our home (because my elderly mother and my physically disabled self)claiming that we would be violent towards him and that he was afraid of us. When the Police showed up at our front door with Shaun, he handed the Police a fictitious court document. The Police demanded that we hand over eighty thousand dollars in Gold Krugerands to Shaun that he was supposedly trying to recover for my father. NOW, my father is in a rest home.

Hmmmmm . . . I guess when someone is in Jail, it's usually for a good reason.

I am physically disabled and have pain all the time, yet I didn't run to some Wack Job in Hollywood as an excuse to smoke Weed. My father never, ever assisted me monetarily my whole life. Now I have become a stain and drain on the System; yet some deceitful Asshole Tweeker walks away with my father's money??

I am not done with anybody yet . . . . .

wow clap clap clap clap clap I live in texas and went to jail in high school because they found one bud in my car and it completely ruined my education, i spent 3 months in jail a year on probation which forbid me from going to a college that had accepted me but it didn't matter because my acceptance was revoked b/c of a misdemeanor I still don't know how much farther i'd be in college if the law was just a lil bit more educated on what weed actually is, it does not merit the punishment they give to some people especially casual users, good for these guys glad to see the world starting to come to its senses

The use and/or possession of marijuana are the least of our worries in society today. There are so many other issues that legislators, law enforcement, and civilians for that matter ought to be dedicating their time to. That isn't to say that just anyone should use marijuana. There obviously those who are capable of functioning in society and those who are not while using. It should be more a priveledge than a right but there will always be those who abuse their priveledges. It is unfortunate that the argument has become less contingent on the facts and more on the stereotypes that society has created.
