23 pounds or 230 pounds,,who cares? It is what we do up here Stupid bastard could have gotten a drivers license though and at least put the weed in the trunk. But who gives a shit about him driving weed. People grow it,sell it smoke it,,,,some body has to drive it,,,,but again,,,,he got pulled over because of some thing with his driving. Not because the cop knew he had 23 pounds. If your going to drive with weed? Do it right.

more likely driving while asian (in a small town) was his only offense … the cops are profiling more than ever around here…would be really nice if they added meth’ers to their profile list…
