Celebrity Justice
You Might Be a Redneck If You're Busted for Pot

Comedian Ron White, who performed with Jeff Foxworthy in the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, was busted today. Once again, they caught Tater Salad.

Vero Beach FL cops took the funnyman into custody for possession of marijuana, under 20 grams. He was also booked on possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was released after posting a $1,000 bond and is presumed to be wearing a wife-beater and cutoff jeans.

61. Pot makes you mellow? Why do all of the marijuana smokers beat up the nonsmokers? Lots of nonsmokers want marijuana legalized, but the pot smokers still attack the nonsmokers. Beats me, I guess the pot smokers are simply superior beings who are entitled to beat everyone else up.

63. The headline to this story doesn't even belong to Ron White. That saying is a Jeff Foxworthy saying. Now come one TMZ. If YOU are going to do a punchline get your facts straight. Ron White is famous for TATER SALAD!!!!!!

65. please don't make this guy out to be a good guy, yes he is funny but you know how much of life he is missing
due to be high and drunk. i have never done drunks or drink and i have had alot taken from me due to a family
member that chose to ruin his family by doing this. you can be happy in life without being high. again i think
the guy is funny in the shows with jeff foxworthy but try life straight it really is not bad. you can lose so much because
of this stuff.

66. I don't see anything wrong with pot. No i don't smoke it...but would if i had cancer and needed it for pain relief. Pot should be legal but in certain amounts. I think Alcohol is the worst drug out there and kills far more then any drug! Also where was Ron busted at? Was he driving while smoking the pot? Cause if he was.....then that's a big NO! NO!

67. The story fails to mention the reason for initially approaching mr. "salad" .
Or was it the fact that he was in cut offs and wife beater ? add a pair of flip flops and you have the Florida National Gaurd uniform.
I'm not a "Blue collar" fan , but I am a Ron White fan. It is a shame that the law and ignorant people compare "weed" with meth and coke.
I'm sure he will be fine , but it is rediculous to pretend that the police "protected" anyone.

68. We all know, had this been snoop, ALL the coments would have went a different way.. Way should he be excused. But, everyone hates Snoop for smoking weed.. Are you kidding me? I think they both should be locked up for doing drugs..

71. Oh geeze... under 20 grams and they go through all of this?? He'll have to show up in court? What drug paraphernalia, a bong or pipe?
He is hilarious! Can't wait till his new stuff comes out.... my guess is he'll get lots of mileage out of this bust.

Pot needs to be legalized so it's ok to have an ounce or less for personal use. It's so much better than alcohol. Not that anyone should drive loaded, that would be bad. I know, I tried to 25+ years ago. I knew better after that attempt and never drove high again. I'm thankful nothing bad happened and that I realized very quickly I shouldn't and pulled over immediately to have my passenger drive (wasn't high). Now... if I had been drunk I most likely would have thought I was 'ok' and kept driving.
