Montel Williams will not be charged with drug paraphernalia possession, the Associated Press reports, after a judge dismissed all charges against the former talk show host Wednesday in Milwaukee, Wis. Williams was briefly detained back in January at the Milwaukee airport when a pipe typically used for smoking marijuana was found in a piece of his luggage. The pipe, however, had tested negative for marijuana.
Williams, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, says he uses the drug legally in order to treat chronic pain. “This isn’t about somebody trying to do something illicit,” he said Wednesday. “I’m really just trying to take my medication. Hopefully this issue and this incident will spark some conversations that will help more rational minds find a way to solve the problem and take the patients off the battlefield.”
why isn’t marijuana legal yet?
Because we need all the closed-minded uptight older generation politicians to die off. It will be legal within 20 years
Jay you are an idiot. “Close minded”, you are the one that is close minded. Clowns like yourself think you have all the answers and everyone around you is some dummy. You are so self-righteous that you can’t even comprehend that others may know better than you? But you cannot conceive of this. You also don’t care about anyone with MS or any other disease for that matter. All you want to do is be able to smoke pot and complain. And you do this anyway.
What a waste of money trying to prosecute someone with MS who uses w33d to help cope with pain. They only found a glass bowl? This makes me sick.
Dummy airport security people. EVerybody knows when you go to Jamaica you buy two pipes. One you use and leave at the front desk for the next guy checking in and the other you keep as a souvenier or to “take your medicine” when you get home.. DUH!

I hope he gets rebated the $484 citation he did pay. But I am glad they did not have some crazy agenda they wanted to make an example out of.

Does Wisconsin actually have a paraphernalia law?
I love Montel and support his battle 100 %.I can only hope his fight will help us (users) in the long run.
