This Picture of Willie Nelson and a Major Democratic Pol May End Pot Legalization
How can weed possibly survive the scandal of being seen with Terry McAuliffe!
Seriously, could weed's reputation take a bigger hit, especially now that it's trying to go street legal all over the country?

It will make conservatard law makers go more apeshit about weed for a while. No one else will notice. So what's changing? This is going to end legalization? Umm, I think not.
Nick is attempting to be wry, Hyperion, you humorless hipster doofus.
Now Soave's poop is posting? I'm out.
The contact high made him do it.
Willie, check your wallet! Terry McAuliffe is going to try to take your money!
This.
That does look like it is trafficking weight (over an once), so McAuliffe was pictured laughing it up with an outright felon. Hey, that's nothing he isn't used to.
*rimshot*
Over *half an once.*
onc?
Seis.
Oh come ON, he looks super hip! And paying totes indirect lip service to relaxation on the penalties for possession of the demon wheed are exactly what drooling would-be Stein voters need to see.
Where is it? What am I supposed to be looking at in that pic?
Behind the remote, and to the right of Willie's eyeglasses.
Uh..huh. That's certainly....Why is this news, exactly?
I mean, I can't even with McAuliffe bullshit. He exists just to make things suck.
It's oregano. Willie Nelson loves him some Italian seasoning on everything.
So does Princess Peach.
I suspect there's a gaze that needs narrowing right about now.
No. That was perfect. The only issue is whether the correct terminology is Princess Toadstool.
Peach is her first name, Toadstool is her House name.

Oh great!
Now MJ must suffer through the endless questions regarding its dubious relationship with Gov. McAuliffe.
MJ's quest for the Oval Office is now over, and to think how much money I sank into MJ's campaign.
Life is shit.
Pwned.
Does McAuliffe always look that high?
And that's a grinder behind it too. (the black thing)
Is he still trying to increase the Democratic turn-out, I mean restoring the civil rights to ex-felons who are victims of Jim Crow disenfranchisement?
"Upon giving individual consideration to the case of [name], I, Governor Terry McAuliffe, hereby restore his/her voting rights."
"Damn, my hand hurts from all that signing, how many of these do I have left?"
"Just a few thousand more, Your Excellency."
Hey, serious question, if Willie smokes that much weed while he's on the road, wouldn't every article of clothing be setting off the "bomb detectors" like apeshit because I suspect he flies a wee bit more than I do.
He's probably rich enough to own the plane. That airport Gestapo crap is for the peasants.
I think he just takes the bus everywhere. Kinda like Madden.
Both your answers are good. But as a famous dude, eventually he's going to do, I dunno, what shows are still on TV, Johnny Carson or Jack Paar or something-- whatever the kids these days watch-- and he's gonna get on a commercial flight. I mean, he'll fly fist class fo sho but... damn. I got swabbed in Hong Kong (heading back to the states) and I was more than a little nervous-- and I don't even partake. I was just concerned about a false positive or something.
*Draws triangle connecting remote control, canister of weed and eye glasses*
Clearly an Illuminati signal.
Pack it up boys, weed isn't cool anymore. Out job here is done.
I actually don't mind McAuliffe- I didn't vote for him but he has been an OK governor because he hasn't really done anything.
Ok, where is the weed in this photo?
I blew up the photo, and there is no clear evidence of any marijuana there. Yes there is a jar, with Willie's Reserve on it, but there is paper all around it, making it impossible to tell if there is anything in it or not. Seems to me to be a whole lot of who-dabble-lo about nothing. As for all the talk about indications of a illuminati sign when referring to the remote, glasses, and canister, I don't see it, however what caught my eye was the fact that it looks as though Willie is giving the 666 sign with his left hand at the elbow. Which brings me to my point, people see what they want to see in pictures, and sometimes people have a really active imagination.
