RI gubernatorial and AG candidates arrested with 48 pounds of marijuana

Imagine waking up next to one of them

Two political hopefuls turned out to also be dopefuls as they were arrested Thursday after police uncovered 48 pounds of illegal marijuana in the lovely couple's West Greenwich, Rhode Island home.

State police arrested Anne Armstrong, 58, and Alan Gordon, 48, both Compassion Party's candidates for governor and attorney general, respectively, after a search of their love pad uncovered almost 50 pounds of marijuana.

They didn't like the word 'marijuana' however, claiming that it's a racist term, and said they preferred the term 'cannabis,' which is not racist, proving that anyone with a minimally functioning brain can run for political office and people with minimally functioning brains will vote for them.

"On way to the Wickford barracks under arrest for cannabis again," Armstrong tweeted Thursday morning probably from the back of a police cruiser. "I guess our poll numbers were high enough to scare them into committing an atrocity. Pray for our police."

Oh man, speaking about 'high,' it wasn't just the poll numbers.

The couple's home was searched after a complaint of a "strong odor of marijuana emanating from marijuana plants being illegally grown outdoors."

Cops found pot "growing outdoors and in plain sight" without the required state-issued tags for growing medical marijuana.

Five aluminum trays heaped with trimmed pot were found inside the home with other trays used for drying the product.

A 15-year-old child was inside the home at the time of arrest. Pray for him or her.

The dynamic duo are leaders of a Christian sect--The Healing Church--that uses marijuana for religious services, and to get messed up in the head. They appeared in court Thursday afternoon but did not enter pleas on charges of marijuana possession and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

They were ordered held on $25,000 bail.

According to the Providence Journal, the duo's stance on pot has created previous encounters with police. In one lawsuit filed against the state, Armstrong and her friendly sidekick Gordon, claim the state's enforcement of marijuana laws against them amounts to religious discrimination and violates the U.S. Constitution.

It is believed that between the two miscreants, there are only 27 active brain cells.

Pray for them.
