Cannabus canna-busted: 'A lot of wasted resources'
EUGENE, Ore. - The Cannabus got canna-busted by Coburg Police on Monday afternoon on I-105 in Eugene near Interestate 5.
Police said the officer stopped the 1988 GMC bus for an unlawful lane change.
The officer reported "smell from vehicle overwhelmingly that of green marijuana," the police department said in a press release. "During a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers found over an ounce of marijuana and hashish."
Police cited passenger Kristin Flor for Unlawful Possession of Less than an Ounce of Marijuana.
The driver,Cash Williams, was cited for Unlawful Lane Change and Opearting a Vehicle without a Valid Operator's License.
Stacy Theis, one of the riders on the bus, said the group of activists are affiliated with "CannaSense" and advocate for medical marijuana in states where the drug is not legal for medicinal purposes.
"I help educate patients," Theis said. "It's frustrating that a plant, a natural plant that does so much good for people wastes so much money. Federal law versus state law is really causing a lot of horrible suffering for people and wasted tax dollars. And as you see, we are pulled over right now: a lot of wasted resources."
Theis said someone on the bus was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia. KVAL News has not been able to independently verify that information.
free the cannabus! heard they are supposed to be introducing 2 bills in the senate that would let states decide to legalize it or not and give them the ability to tax it. you can always count on greed to get things moving i guess. i think both bills were introduced by oregon senators. i think its about time, a lot of time and money has been wasted busting peeps that are doing no one else any harm. think the passage in washington and colorado is really pushing this issue.
my girlfriend was always giving pills for her neck oxys and other really strong meds, now she smokes alittle no pills, works everyday and like you say acts properly, that cops seen a bus with weed on it, gee captian wonder whats inside??bet three drunk drivers and ten pounds of white dope drove by as you waisted everyones time
Careful, you're describing alcohol. That prohibition didn't work either.Â
When marijuana cures cancer and other illnesses, then I'll say "Sure, legalize it" but until then, it's a drug that inhibits a persons ability to think or act properly.
