Virginia man named Stoner arrested on pot charges

2014-08-22

[FREEP] A Virginia man with the last name Stoner is facing drug charges after police found more than $10,000 worth of marijuana plants at his home.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office says 42-year-old Paul Scott Stoner of Unionville is charged with growing marijuana and having a firearm while in possession of more than a pound of marijuana.

Media outlets report that the charges stem from an ongoing investigation related to the alleged sale of marijuana to children in Orange County. Further charges are pending.

Authorities say they acted on a tip that Stoner was selling to children and during the search last Thursday seized marijuana, marijuana plants, drug paraphernalia, prescription drugs, needles, spoons and guns.

#3 A caricature of the stoner:
Unkempt, unemployable moaner;
In love with his boner
But not quite a loner --
He'll always mooch weed from a donor.

No offense to the cheerful, industrious stoners of RB, who doubtless outperform me by every metric. No sarc.

#2 The narco trade has become the entrepreneurial fabric of urban America. Legalization simply allows the gov't to harvest sales taxes and licensing fees on storefront businesses.

Two things make the world go around, and the other one is money.
