Tennessee police ignore pot at state official’s home

[DreamSmoker]

Authorities in Tennessee are being accused of a coverup after marijuana was found at the house of a state official.

Tennessee police reportedly found marijuana in plain view when they entered the home of Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC) Director Danielle Elks to check for intruders.

The commission is in charge of eradicating marijuana in the state in addition to regulating alcohol sales.

An unnamed ABC employee came forward to tell WSMV that it was unfair Elks had not been investigated.

“I grant you, if that had happened to any of us (ABC employees), we would have been made an example of,” the ABC employee said. “We would have been in headlines in the papers, the news, and everywhere else.”

3. hang on a second

OK. Let me get this straight. The Charlie Daniel's band's keyboardist's wife is the Tennessee ABC director?

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but that seems sort of a crazy connection.

4. It seems that everyone wants to 'eradicate' weed these days.

So that's what they call it now, 'eradicate' yeah that's the ticket. One toke at a time.
