Fiona Apple has been a bad, bad girl. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, 35, was arrested for hashish possession at a West Texas Border Patrol checkpoint, according to the Associated Press.
Apple "had a little tiny amount of pot and hash," sheriff's office spokesman Rusty Fleming told the AP, explaining that she spent Wednesday night in jail and was released Thursday after posting bail.
Police found about four grams of marijuana and about four grams of a substance that tested positive for hashish on the singer's tour bus, and she admitted the drugs were hers, the sheriff's office said in a press release.
Marijuana possession in small amounts is a misdemeanor, but the Texas Controlled Substance Act says possession of hashish -- a drug prepared with the resin of the marijuana plant -- in any quantity is a felony, according to the AP. Do you think being arrested for pot -- or hash -- is a big deal? Or is it all a big deal over nothing?

The problem is your proposal makes TOO MUCH sense. You need to dumb it down a bit and find a stupider reason to legalize drugs to have any chance of the idiots in power to consider it.
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ZERO TALENT!
Don't want to take that chance. Keep alcohol out of cars to prevent vehicular alcohol assumption.
The history of why pot was made illegal in the first place should have been enough to repeal the law years ago. It's a travesty.
The large medical companies don't want pot legal because they will lose billions of dollars in their own phony, over-priced, and dangerous chemicals, and they actively work to keep pot illegal. Who needs Luestra (please read the side effects for that piece of garbage) to go to sleep when two hits off the pipe for 1/10 the cost of a single pill works the same way?
They will never let pot be decriminilized or legalized. If the feds would just repeal the pot laws but regulate the growing and distibution, they could make billions in tax revenue, but Big Pharma (among those other "BIGS" who actually run the government) is not in the habit of giving away billions or trillions of dollars to anyone.
There are several Western states now about to have votes on legalizing pot (though the feds are saying they will still enforce federal law there) so let's see what happens.

For the guy down the comment list who was saying that hashish should be a felony because it's so much stronger than pot, it's just pot resin, chucklehead. Hash is to pot what whiskey is to beer.
NO ONE should ever be going to jail again for the responsible use of pot. Yes, I said responsible use: Don't smoke and drive or operate machinery or anything else. There are potaholics just like there are alchoholics.
ALL GOOD THINGS IN MODERATION. People will always abuse pot just like people drink too much or eat too much or smoke cigarettes too much or...you get the idea.
The bottom line is that pot should be decriminlized at the least or legalized and regulated.
And the answer is NO, I don't smoke pot, or cigarettes, or drink alcohol. I'm clean.
