Nas Busted with a Green Tongue

UPDATE: How's this for a twist. We just got info from the courts -- Nas' DUI case has been administratively dismissed. The reason: Not enough evidence because his drug test "came back negative for drugs, including marijuana." Interesting, especially because Nas admitted to cops he had been smoking weed!

Nas -- aka Nasir Jones -- was driving under the influence of weed when he was busted for DUI, this according to Nas himself.

Nas Busted
As we first reported, Nas was arrested for DUI near his Georgia home back in September. TMZ has obtained the police report, which says, "Mr. Jones had a green tongue with raised taste buds and his pulse was raised to 116 beats per minute."

The arresting officer says he observed "eyelid tremors in both eyes and body tremors." Cops say the car smelled of "raw marijuana."

Nas told officers he had been smoking weed at his friend's house before he was busted.

Nas flunked one of the field sobriety tests -- the walking test -- by taking the wrong number of steps

wtf? green tongue? weed won't give you a green tongue if you are smoking it... and if his heart beat was raised it was because he was getting pulled over by the cops and he's black!

I've never heard of pot smoking giving anyone a green tongue. I could see if maybe he was smoking hash oil and managed to get some of the oil on his tongue.

As for his heartrate, mine is frequently that high if I am anxious or nervous about something, and I can see how the cops pulling you over would just do that alone, even without drugs.

ummm, weed does not turn ur tongue green, nor raise the taste buds on your tongue or make ur pulse quicken. Weed slows you down, uhhh, could it be he was on a stimulant also???

13. So, are the cops taking blood pressure, respiratory rates and temperatures too?

In some places, they draw blood for drug testing, too. Right on the side of the road.

Maybe he disposed of a bag before them pulled him over. Like the scene from super troopers.

The question is, what were the cops smoking? Where do they get the idea that smoking weed turns the tongue green? Or quickens the pulse? Or causes tremors? His eyelids were both drooping and having tremors? With this level of intelligence in law enforcement, I'd feel safer living in Bagdad.

Nas is guilty of DWB. Or maybe of imbibing in a little absinthe? Or a spearmint sno-ball? Or a green apple flavored Jolly Rancher? Or a lime Life Saver? Or ...

This story is so bizarre; however, I would not put it past the redneck Georgia police to come up with such bs. The only thing I can think of is that when they asked this man to stick his tongue out he stuck his "green looking" something else out!

I bet you half the Georgia Police and State troopers cannot count to five.

Marijuana.....what a joke America....wait til the Zetas' come to town. Heard they are already in Atlanta.
