<\/span><\/h2>\nThe first culprit on our list is of course Jimmy Hendrix<\/strong>, who was arrested in 1969 at Toronto International Airport for possessing hash and heroin. The artist\u2019s lawyer alleged that a fan placed a vial in Hendrix\u2019s luggage that he believed to be legal medication. He was absolved of any wrongdoing and set free after paying a 10,000 Canadian dollar fine. Just a few years before, Steven Tyler<\/strong>, singer for Aerosmith, was also arrested in New York for cannabis possession.<\/p>\nDavid Bowie<\/strong> is another in a long list of rock stars that have been arrested for cannabis possession. In 1976 he was arrested from his New York hotel room during his Isolar tour. His mug shot soon became one of his best-known pictures, considered one of his best poses of all time. Bowie was also released after proving that someone else had placed the cannabis in his room.<\/p>\nPaul McCartney<\/strong>, in 1980, had a similar experience in a Tokyo airport when he was touring the country with the Beatles. Border control retrieved 200g of cannabis from his luggage, although after 10 days in a local jail he was set free and deported free of charges.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/justin_bieber-300x165-1.jpg\" "\\"Arrested")

<\/span>Bieber, Macaulay and McConaughey<\/span><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s not necessary to go so far back in time to find celebrities caught with that good herb. In 2014 the polemic singer Justin Bieber<\/strong> was arrested for participating in an illegal street race in Miami after consuming cannabis and alcohol. Something similar happened to Gossip Girl actor Chace Grawford<\/strong> \u2013 he was found in a public parking lot sharing 50g of cannabis with a friend. He was set free after paying bail and in 2011 the charges were dropped.<\/p>\nAnother well-known actor was also caught out for drugs; Macaulay Culkin<\/strong>, known for his appearance in the Home Alone franchise, was discovered to be in possession of cannabis as well as tranquilizers without a prescription. The actor, since then, has appeared to clean up his act.<\/p>\nMatthew McConaughey\u2019s<\/strong> arrest in Texas, 1999 is somewhat of a historical event in the states. He was arrested for resisting authorities, public disturbance and cannabis possession. The police were sent to his house after being called by a worried neighbor, and he was found playing the bongos in the nude. He later declined the drug chargers (that were eventually removed) and was charged with disturbing the peace \u2013 he pleaded guilty and was made pay a 50.000 dollar fine.<\/p>\n<\/span>Spain<\/span><\/h2>\nHere in Spain there\u2019s also a few celebrities that have dabbled publicly in cannabis, although not many \u2013 this is probably due to the stigma surrounding the drug still. Public figures such as Mercedes Mila<\/strong> or Melendi<\/strong> have admitted to having consumed cannabis, as well as the Catalonian duo Estope, who sing about cannabis in their songs quite a lot.<\/p>\nJoaqu\u00edn Sabina, Alaska<\/strong> and Serrat<\/strong> have also let loose over the years that cannabis is linked to their artistic careers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A lot of people have unfortunately been pressured by the police and although they\u2019re only doing their job, it\u2019s still quite a pain.
