CBS reporter arrested on drug charges

And this is why:  MSM reporters on crack, or whatever.

CBS reporter arrested on drug charges

A veteran CBS Radio News correspondent was arrested early Saturday on drug charges after police searched his Northwest Washington home, and found marijuana plants growing in his yard, authorities said.

Police arrested Howard Arenstein and his wife at their home in the 3500 block of T Street and charged them with possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Arenstein is married to Orly Azoulay, Washington correspondent for Yedioth Ahronoth, the largest and most widely read newspaper in Israel.

Police executed a search warrant at the home Saturday after a tip from an area resident, and found 11 fully mature marijuana plants and six two-ounce bags of marijuana inside the home. Each plant is considered by authorities to equal one pound of marijuana. Early Saturday evening, the porch light of the home was on and there was a small pile of mail on the doorstep, but no one answered the door.

OK, it was just pot.  But, maybe these MSM types need to put down the bong and grasp reality.  (I am over five years alcohol and stone-you-to-the-bejeezus-ganja free and I'm much better now! And, no, no prozac either.)

And BTW I want to add to the last post for any partakers that took offense at the last post, yes, I am all for decriminalization for what it's worth.

Don't stone me.

On another note, maybe it's time to look into Howard Arenstein and what he has been putting out there.

Bless you, dude, for having the moral values to acknowledge/defend others' rights even if YOU do not condone or participate!

de nada

I guess I'm lucky that I never got in any trouble myself all those years.

Those laws were written (often) and voted in (in the 30's) largely because of racism anyway. If you look into the history of criminalization, this was one of the major forces behind it.

And to this day, drug laws impact minorities the most.  It is institutional racism as Carmichael and others would say.

Yeah, I never meant to make a new thread about this, but no biggie.

It wasn't really crucial stuff for the thread I started about media anyway.
