Mary Ann -- More Like Mary Jane!!

Dawn Wells, the actress that played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," was busted with marijuana in her car after driving home from her birthday party in Idaho -- and she's 69!

Wells was pulled over on October 18 after a Teton County sheriff noticed her swerve across the center lines of State Highway 33 and repeatedly speeding up and slowing down. A search produced four half-smoked joints and two small cases to store marijuana -- which she blamed on hitchhikers. Even Gilligan wouldn't buy that one!

Wells is now serving a three hour tour six months of unsupervised probation for the crime. She pleaded guilty to one count of reckless driving and was sentenced last month to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation.

212. "207. "This plant used to be legal in this country, and was legal during the writing of our Constitution and Declaration of Independence and all during the time of our forefathers, and even in the first part of the 20th century. They were wise enough and righteous enough not to ban a plant from men." Zeb

Funny, since it didn't arrive in this country until the first World's Fair held here, as a gift from India. Crack a history book whilst you're toking up.

Hemp dating back to at least 400 BC has been discovered in America.

And farmers were growing hemp in America at least in the 1600's, long before the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence,

And besides, I didn't say it was in the country (but which it was), I said it was legal in the country. There was no law against bringing it to America or having it in America or growing it in America, etc.

Crack a book on learning how to read.

And I don't "toke up." As I said, I don't use the stuff.

221. Impaired driving is illegal and should be.

But - possession of pot? Why is this still a crime?

222. Just another bonehead, washed-up actress getting stoned. It's fortunate that his bozo didn't cause a collision and kill an innocent person. No wonder the majority of Americans have no respect for these idiots.

223. To those of you idiots who think she is sooooo cool. If you want to drink or get high....fine....but don't get behind the wheel and drive! She was crossing the center line and could have killed herself, YOU or maybe even your CHILD. But lets hope most of your idiots never procreate.

224. Please; what's the big deal. Maybe she's selling. At least she's not some psycho running people over. Maybe it's for medicinal purposes. People; get a LIFE!

225. "Crack a book on learning how to read." Seriously? You seriously wrote that? Thank you for the case against weed, genius.

For those of you going, "Cool, Mary Ann's a pothead!", like it validates your behavior somehow, you should know that the court dismissed the charges after some guy who had also been driving the car that day admitted they were his and he was charged.
