The headline bears repeating: any story involving “Memphis” and “10 Lb Bag of Marijuana” is going straight to the top of the site. This represents a matter of both personal experience and scientific fact forming opinion.
Meeting someone from Memphis, one should go ahead and congratulate them to making it to whatever ripe old age they are, since all residents of Memphis are liable to be eventually caught in the swirling vortex of graft, violence, and mayhem surrounding the city like a fetid puddle.

Jones suspended, weed possessed, one Fulmer Cup point makes Memphis rust and sag with pride as they enter the college football offseason’s Felonious 500.
With the facts out of the way, let’s go by the really reliable, interesting stuff: message board innuendo about the case. Again: we spray a whole tub full of ALLEGED ALLEGED ALLEGED solution all over this whole thing. Consult the chart, however, to see if any of this would be surprising.
