Lil Wayne enjoys a lil weed

The US Border Patrol found small traces of marijuana on a couple of rapper Lil’ Wayne’s tour buses (cannibuses?) near the Texas town of Falfurrias and the hip hop (hemp hop?) star is currently being detained, as are 11 others in his posse.

Here is a photo of one of the buses held at the Falfurrias checkpoint:

Details are sketchy at this point, but according to TMZ Lil’ Wayne’s entourage were part of a random search by Border Patrol agents that resulted in pot being found on two of the vehicles. It seems pot was not found on any of the persons, and contrary to the misleading headline of this post, no arrests have been made. Lil’ Wayne ‘n’ company are currently being detained at an undisclosed Border Patrol checkpoint. Lil’ Wayne was scheduled to perform tonight at the Laredo Entertainment Center at 7:30. No word yet if that show has been canceled.

UPDATE 12:14 PM EST – TMZ is reporting that Lil’ Wayne will not be facing any charges stemming from the incident – this according to his lawyer. “His lawyer tells TMZ that while some people did receive citations, Lil’ Wayne was not one of them.” The Laredo Entertainment Center has announced Weezy will be playing tonight to make p for his canceled show last night. Here are the details from their site:

The Show Must Go On!!! Lil’ Wayne Tonight!!!!!

Last night’s ticket will still be valid for tonight’s show. Despite any set backs, Lil’ Wayne has been gracious enough to put on a great show for his Laredo fans and the surrounding communities. The doors will open at 6:30pm and the show will go on!

If for any reason, you can not make tonight’s show, refunds will be made at the original point of purchase. Please call (956) 791-9192 for more information.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding with this matter!

Hope to see you here tonight

UPDATE 2:05 AM EST – Texas must treat pot busts like fishing because the AP is reporting they did the “catch and release” with Lil’ Wayne and his entourage. According to the article, the 12 people were briefly questioned and let go and the case is now in the hands of the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office.

UPDATE: According to Pro8News.com: “The Laredo Entertainment Center is saying tonight’s concert is ‘postponed until further notice.'” Pro 8 also reports that more than a pound and a half of marijuana was found in a number of baggies. Here is their video report which includes interviews with angry fans out side of the Laredo Entertainment Center just after it was announced the Lil’ Wayne concert had been canceled:

Though I don’t have any sources to confirm it, I can pretty much guarantee one thing – anything having to do with marijuana in the state of Texas eventually leads to one man: Willie Nelson, or as he is known in the hip hop community, “Wil’ Nelson.” If that turns out to be the case then Lil’ Wayne will be covered under Willie’s blanket Presidential pot pardon signed into effect by Jimmy Carter and renewed by Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, which means he will get to walk away scott free. The pot will be confiscated and distributed by Willie among his numerous charities.

If Lil’ Wayne’s possession of Mary Jane has nothing to do with Willie Nelson then according to Texas state law he will be put to death.

Remember kids – life is better if you know Willie Nelson!
