NJWeedman Busted in New Jersey PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 06 April 2010 16:36

Ed Forchion, a.k.a NJWeedman, is not only back in New Jersey. The marijuana activist, who now lives in Los Angeles where he runs a dispensary, was arrested on Mar. 31 in the Garden State during a traffic stop and charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute. Forchion paid $50,000 bail and was released from Burlington County Jail on Tuesday.

Ed ForchionAfter allegedly running a red light at 10:12 pm, State police pulled Forchion over in Mt. Holly on Rt. 38. They smelled marijuana in his rented Pontiac and, though Forchion did not consent to a search, obtained a warrant and found a pound of pot in his trunk and $2,000. He was also charged with possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. In addition to the drug charges, Forchion had warrants for unpaid child support and a traffic ticket.

Update: Forchion admits he was in possession of "high-grade" California Kush. "A pound of marijuana is like a carton of cigarettes to me," Forchion says. "What do they think I was going to do? Sell nickel bags on the corner? I'm the Weedman."

Known for lighting up in public places, like at the Liberty Bell or inside the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton, Forchion moved to California in 2008 and opened the Liberty Bell Temple on Hollywood Blvd.

In 1997, Forchion was sentenced to 10 years for distributing marijuana and served 16 months in jail. He spent another five months behind bars for violating parole in 2003.

Clearly, NJWeedman should have stayed in CA.

He's no hero
He doesn't pay child support and violates traffic laws. I don't care how much or less weed he had. Weed has nothing to do with it. He's a loser. There are REAL activists in NJ and he is not one of them. He's a show boater and carpetbagger. If he is such an exile, why does he come back so much? I don't think things will turn out well for him. Well, maybe they might. We'll see...

Its hard to convince people by just sitting and typing and trying to enforce my opinion. So i'll leave you with one thing.

If You are a TRULY Intelligent person, and have good rational skills. I Advice you to watch "The Union" documentary on Marijuana. Dont be so Naive and Educate yourself on Nature and the Gift of GOD.

Peace Will come to This World, But Not until people open there eyes and mind and inform themselves on the TRUTH!

“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”
