🌿 “Afroman Hits High Note: Cops a Detainment for Weed at Canada-US Border! 🍁💨”
TL:DR; 💡: Afroman, renowned rapper and ganja enthusiast, along with his crew, were halted at the Canada-US border. Amid the maple leaves, the feds found some green – a tiny amount of weed and a bottle of cannabis pain lotion. Though no arrests were made, the crew had to cough up $1000 in fines. 🌿💸
“Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high” goes the chorus of one of Afroman’s biggest hits, and this week he found out the lyrics might have been a bit too prophetic. The Palmdale rapper’s routine border crossing turned into a leafy episode of “Cops: Border Patrol Edition.” 🚔🌿
With a small stash of weed and a forgotten bottle of cannabis lotion, the rapper and his crew learned the hard way that even though marijuana has been legalized in many parts of the U.S., it still isn’t the best travel companion. Especially when you’re trying to cross international borders. 🌎✈️🚫
Our man Afroman, ever the marijuana philanthropist, claimed that he’d given all his weed to his fans and hotel housekeepers before the border crossing. But the pesky bottle of pain lotion slipped his mind. I mean, who amongst us hasn’t lost track of our cannabis-infused body care products? Happens all the time, right? 🤷♀️💚
But here’s the twist: the U.S. Border Patrol also found a whopping $10,000 in the crew’s vehicle. Now, before you ask “What were they planning to do with all that cash? Start a ganja farm?” Chillax! Apparently, the money was declared, so no harm, no foul on that front. 💰🌿
What about the fallout? After a five-hour detainment, Afroman was slapped with a $500 fine for the lotion. His DJ also had to cough up an equal amount for some cannabis gummies. The weed was confiscated, but luckily, no arrests were made. It seems the border patrol recognized it was all for personal use, or perhaps they are fans of “Because I got high.” 🎵👮💰
The big question here is, will this ordeal inspire a new Afroman hit? Maybe something like “Because I got fined, because I got fined?” We’ll keep our ears perked up for that one! 🎵💡
To the aspiring stoners among our readers, let this be a cautionary tale. Weed might be fun, but forgetting about your stash before a border crossing? That’s a high price to pay. So, what’s your take on this? Does the punishment fit the ‘crime’? Or should border authorities just chill out about a little bit of green? 🧐🌿
Remember, this isn’t advice, just some good ol’ Turnt Up News reporting. And while we’re puff, puff, passing this info to you, we’re not suggesting you take up the ganja gauntlet yourself. 😉
Here’s a question for you: Should international laws be more lax when it comes to carrying personal amounts of weed? Or should border crossings remain strict to prevent potential drug trafficking? Leave your blazing hot takes in the comments! 🔥🗨️🍁
