Man Smokes Weed During Court Hearing For Possession Of Weed Charge

Man Lights Marijuana During Court Hearing For Possession Of Weed Charge

A man did the unthinkable by lighting up and smoking weed during his court hearing in Lebanon, Tennessee for marijuana possession charge.

While America hasn’t federally legalized weed, many states have begun to legalize the plant for recreational use but Tennesse doesn’t appear to be one of them.

According to ABC News, a man with the name Spencer Boston made a concerted effort to advocate for the legalization of cannabis inside of a courtroom recently. Boston was in front of a judge on Monday when he reached inside of his jacket for a doobie and lit it up while the court was in session.

Spencer Boston was facing the charge for simple weed possession when he began to advocate for cannabis. The man took two hits off of the spliff before the bailiff grabbed him and escorted him out of the place.

“The people deserve better!” He declared as he was being escorted out. There were different reactions to his act but most people in the court reportedly just laughed it off.

He was later charged with disorderly conduct and simple possession of cannabis, as well as being held in contempt of court. He’ll be spending 10 days in jail for contempt before being eligible to post bond which is set at $3K.
