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.

105. How incredibly STUPID to arrest people for marijuana. What a waste of resources, time and energy.
I HATE seeing arrests for "narcotics" when we are only talking about weed. MJ needs to be reclassified for what it is.
AND-cigarettes and alcohol kill people....do your homework people....hundreds of thousands of Americans die each year due to ALCOHOL and CIGARETTES....not POT. The only difference is all the money the US GOVT collects in taxes. Therefore- ALCOHOL and CIGARETTES will continue to keep killing people BECAUSE the GOVT gets their share. $$$$
It's all about money. (Don't even get me started on the pharmaceutical companies versus weed and the govt!)

Quit believing what your government tells you & follow the will of 80% of Americans today-LEGALIZE IT ALREADY.
