Richard Nolan was arrested by the Illinois State Police after they stopped the 66 year old for “improper lane usage” and found eight duffel bags filled with marijuana. All told, Nolan has 118 pounds of the wacky tobacky in the car while driving on I-55/I-70.

Nolan’s picture (right) illustrating his jubliant demeanor means that it was either taken just before they told him that he won’t be taking his luggage full of weed with him, just after he helped himself to that special brownie in his pocket, the mugshot guy has really mastered the “look at the stuffed animal to make people smile” technique, or it’s just true that fat old people really are just jolly all the time.

Pro Tip: Always check your bag of weed before giving up the money. It may drive you to shoot a guy.

Ryan Harris (right) paid Michael Maybearry (dead) $20 for a bag of weed, got home, found the bag was empty. That made Harris angry, so angry the first thought through his mind, as told to police was: “I gotta kill this guy.” Harris sounds pretty highly strung. He really could have used that weed!

Harris allegedly fired two rounds through the back of Maybearry’s rear window as Maybearry drove away, and Harris drove after him. Once on southbound Old Highway 21, Harris pulled beside Maybearry and fired six rounds into the driver’s side as the cars were moving, court documents say.

Maybearry crashed into a ditch and hit a tree. Harris went to the car and found Maybearry inside groaning. Harris told investigators that he demanded his money back, but Maybearry said he couldn’t move.

“Dammit it dude! Give me my $20 dollars back!”

“Well ok. You just shot me and drove me off the road in to a ditch, so I’m having some trouble reaching my back pocket right now. Things hard enough to reach in your car even when you haven’t been shot and been in a wreck you know?  Stupid jeans pockets. Am I right?! …anyway, I’m bleeding pretty bad here and it was just $20 bucks, so if you could just give me a hand…”

Harris said Maybearry aggressively grabbed his wrist when he reached into the car and Harris fired three more rounds into him.

Real nice.

Harris said Maybearry’s hand released in a “weird” manner and Harris knew he was dead, court documents say.

“Weird” like as though he was just shot in the chest three times? That kind of weird? You don’t have many pets do you Ryan?

KSDK’s MomsLikeMe.com loves them some polls, and for the first time, it’s an interesting one: Do you smoke weed? Ah, of course, the majority don’t…but not quite the majority one might assume.

Over 30% are toking it after putting junior on the buss! …well we hope they wait that long. We fear that some may not. Don’t want to point any fingers here, but the mom two driveways down. You know. Crazier than normal morning hair…the only one on the street polishing off a bag of Funions at 7:15am? Yeah. Her.

A man in Cauthersville, MO, which is located just six miles from Whogivesacrap, is facing charges for marijuana possession after being arrested, for the same crime, twice in one day.

The Sikeston Standard Democrat reports that the man was first arrested five minutes after midnight Sunday at the Caruthersville Community Center. Police say they found several baggies of marijuana and several hundred dollars.

…and then, the next night, but technically still the same day…

At 11:10 p.m., the same man was stopped for improper vehicle registration. Police say a search of his vehicle found several baggies of marijuana.

“Aw man. I totally spaced. I could have sworn this just happened last night.”

A rough 24 hours for the still unnamed man for sure, and though there is little doubt that getting busted for the same crime less than a day later is stupid, it isn’t as stupid as saying “You know what won’t give me diarrhea? Subway. Maybe I’ll go there for lunch.” Wrong choice buddy. That Subway melt, that looks good on the weird commercials with the kid-voiced adults, won’t look as good a few hours later with the only bonus being you’ll really start to understand how Jared got so thin eating those subs. That man must have a golden butthole.

St. Charles County voters voted down not one but two medial marijuana proposals even after Cottleville, MO mayor Don Yarber pushed for the bills because of his own wife’s success with medial marijuana.

Apparently St. Chuck voters think Mrs Yarber is nothing more than a pothead. At least that’s the clear sentiment from one voter interview after leaving the polls by KSDK:

Ladonna Johnson, said she voted “no” on the initiative, saying there are better ways to solve medical problems than with marijuana.

Congratulations Ms Johnson! You somehow managed to throw out a quote that was surprisingly stupid even for someone named “Ladonna”.

“There are better ways to solve medical problems than with marijuana.”

First, unless we are mistaken, you aren’t Dr. Ladonna Johnson, so how the hell do you know if its not the best solution to some medical condition?  Secondly, what are your “better ways”? …let us guess: Other drugs. Would you feel safer if it was a marijuana pill? We don’t want to trip you out Ladumbass, but there are illegal drugs in pill form too.

We don’t mind disagreement, but the least  you could do is come up with an argument that has more to it than “Because.”

Rodney Wells took the measure to heart Tuesday. The St. Charles County man says he uses the drug to counteract the effects of epilepsy and adds that it works for him.

Early Tuesday, Wells showed up on a corner near the Cottleville City Hall with a sign supporting the marijuana bills. He says some people honked and waved in support, and others showed their lack of support in other ways.

We’d say there’s no reason to be rude, but this is St. Charles County we are talking about. The home of “Christian” values, sweater vests and happiness for all…unless you are gay, mexican or hold any opinion other than the norm. Is that a generalization? Of course. But you gotta admit its damn close to spot on.

In the meantime, these measures, like all marijuana measures failed. It turns out all of those that are for legal marijuana in any form tend to be more prone to having important tasks like voting slip their mind.

At least there’s still K2. Oh wait. I guess those of you that need your weed will just have to go buy it from your usual source…Ladonna Johnson’s kid.
