why not just walk yourself down to the police station and turn yourself in? that shirt is just asking for trouble.

How so?

I think because you're 'advertising' you use pot.

I think you're ok unless you're trying to cross a border to Mexico or Canada.

In New Orleans no one gives a shit about ganj. As it should be across the 48 states and Hawaii. Alaska... any state that has Sarah Palin as a resident should be punished.

I agree.

"As Colorado and Washington license pot growers and sellers, cops elsewhere continue to carry out marijuana busts at a rate of one every 42 seconds. If you drop a gram of Sour Diesel on the sidewalk in Seattle, a police officer may help you sweep it up. Do that in New Orleans and you could face 20 years hard labor."

In October 2010, Bernard Noble, a 45-year-old trucker and father of seven with two previous nonviolent offenses, was stopped on a New Orleans street with a small amount of marijuana in his pocket. His sentence: more than 13 years.

Doesn't look like New Orleans is embracing the green revolution quite yet.

That's from 2010. It's changed.

You are correct. It's changed in some states, and in many places they don't much care about middle-class white people like me, but the pot laws are still used as a vehicle to harass the urban black population and others.

My user name here is a tribute to a guy who was harassed and busted by the Texas cops for a joint or two, with horrendous consequences for his life (this was in the 60's . . . look up the story of the 13th floor elevators, a seminal band from Texas). Today, many people are in jail for pot where I live, the great liberal state of NY, but of course they are mostly minorities.

Back on point, I don't think the Stones care about that sort of copyright infringement on the tshirt. I think they figure the publicity is always good and what's the point of going after a little guy like that. Disney is more likely to have a problem with that shirt, but I don't know if the Mickey hands are copyrighted.
