Rick Ross Busted for Marijuana Possession

Rick Ross, the boss of Maybach Music was busted for marijuana possession over the weekend, but was released after a couple of hours. The police found just a gram of marijuana in his possession.

Big night for the coppers down in Shreveport, LA -- rapper Rick Ross and Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Peters were both arrested last night in separate incidents. First, let's talk about Ross -- according to police, he was busted last night for possession of marijuana. Cops say they detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from his hotel room and when police investigated, they spotted approximately a gram of it in plain view. (TMZ)

That's how i got the story off sohh.com. What do i have to say about this? What the hell is a gram of marijuana...why should that be a big offense? It was probably be for personal use. And what were the cops doing by his hotel door? Where they patrolling the whole hotel corridor or something? This is just absurd to me. I mean, a lot of people die of overdosing on Cocaine, and you are tripping over someone smoking a herb? Common! Artist have been known to use one form of stimulant or the other since the time of Elvis Presly, and weed is not even addictive like them other drugs. Unless they were trying to get him on something else, i do not see the necessity in this bust.
