Mary Ann -- More Like Mary Jane!!

Posted Mar 11th 2008 1:41PM by TMZ Staff

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.

226. "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.

228. "216. Why, in this day and age is marijuana still illegal and a Schedule I drug by the federal gv't??? Our gv't spends more $$ on fighting marijuana than any other drug, it's ridiculous. Now we have a bunch of teens addicted to Rx drugs that are more harmful and chemically addictive than weed.

Because of powerful drug cartels making billions off of drugs like hemp being illegal.

If hemp was legal, it would be free, 'cause people would just grow their own, and it would put a lot of rich drug suppliers and corrupt government officials out of the illegal drug business.

Just like the government of England was the principle opium dealer for centuries, so also are governments involved in the illegal drug trade today. Most of the government talk against it is just hype and cover, just like the former governor of New York's hype against crime and so forth but now he's been found out to be a criminal himself.

This is hows the real world works. It's full of fake, corrupt politicians and others in positions of authority.
