I understand confiscating the drugs and the guns, but when rich white dudes get busted for drugs, they don’t take away their cars and money.

@ post 4… If you’re cruising with 29 p’s whether you have a scale or not has absolutely no effect on the charges.

Even by my standards, 29 pounds is a lot of herb. That’s way more greenery than I’ve ever had at my pad. Even more than when Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Coralla came over to puff at the crib:

Trick Daddy used to rap about wearing Polo and rolling a Volvo. And he’s openly admitted to both thugishness and weed smoking.

My three favorite topics on the Dime site are:
1. Weed
2. Gambling
3. Ho’s
Unfortunately, the first two don’t come up very often. So, in Dime tradition, I’m going to do my top 5 best smoking movies. Dime, feel free to make this topic its own thread.
1. Half Baked
2. Friday
3. Pineapple Express
4. Big Lebowski (Not a full blown weed smoking movie, but certainly enough to qualify.)
5. Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
Honorable mentions: Grandma’s Boy, Up In Smoke, Next Friday, Harold and Kumar Guantanamo
My homey Nate Dogg said it best on Chronic 2001: “Smoke weed everyday!!”

Snoop Dogg is probably one of the coolest people on the planet, and Calvin, you are definitely not cool.
@ rocket cat, it’s pretty normal for authorities to confiscate whatever money that’s found WITH the drugs, and seeing it was 30 Gs cash, it was probably in proximity of the bud. I’m not sure about the cars, though.

They do give these guys financial planning help and education. Remember the rookie orientation when a couple of knuckle heads got sent home. Those are the kinds of thigns they teach.

29 pounds would definitely last one person a lifetime. If I smoked an eighth a week, it’d last 71 years.

That would last you and all your homeboys a lifetime…

Ross says:
He looks so sad. Why did he have to sell drugs? Did he not make enough $ playing in the NBA?
December 5th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Ross says:
the rocket cat is right. I’m white, and I once killed a man, and I only had to pay a $250 fine.
December 5th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
that's whats up says:
$250 ???
Did you kill another white man?
December 5th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
LakeShow84 says:

Corie “Blunt” haha
December 5th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Kobeef says:
Seriously, how cool is it for Corie to be a weed dealer (yeah, I’m guessing the 29lbs wasn’t all for him) and have the last name Blount.
He played for Toronto? I don’t remember that….and I bet he doesn’t either!!
