A pair of Rhode Island political hopefuls, who aspired to be The Ocean State's governor and attorney general, was arrested Thursday after police allegedly uncovered 48 pounds of illegal marijuana in the duo's West Greenwich home.

State police said they arrested Anne Armstrong, 58, and Alan Gordon, 48 -- the Compassion Party’s candidates for governor and attorney general, respectively -- after a search at the pair’s home uncovered nearly 50 pounds of marijuana.

“On way to the Wickford barracks under arrest for cannabis again,” Armstrong tweeted Thursday morning from what appeared to be 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.”

A 15-year-old child was inside the home at the time of the arrests, police said.

The pair, who are leaders of a Christian sect – The Healing Church – that uses marijuana for religious services, appeared in court Thursday afternoon. They 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 pair’s stance on marijuana has sparked previous run-ins with police. In one lawsuit filed against the state, Armstrong and Gordon claim the enforcement of state marijuana laws against them amounts to religious discrimination and violates the U.S. Constitution.

They also argue the term “marijuana” is racist and prefer the word “cannabis.”

Look more like Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Christopher Lee.

I think he played The Tall Man in Phantasm. Or maybe she did.

It seems to me that, at least lately, the average American (if he / she still exists) is surrounded by people who can only be described as bizarre.
This story would illustrate that point.
Or maybe its just me.....
Oh.... And thank you, Jesus, for the non-racist cannabis!

If they were running as democrats they would have been ok.

Time to leagalize the debbil’s lettuce ...

IF you have that much on hand, either you're smoking way too much weed, or you're dealing...

Representing the people. Doesn't everyone in Rhode Island have 48 pounds of dope in their house?

It's Dave, man. Open up. I think the cops saw me come in here.

So where are the Cheetos?

Um, no. Definitely not.

First of all, haha.

You can tell from the photos they've been trimming and drying/curing it, using those Mason jars for that is super common, and the branches hanging which is what precedes curing.

They're either growing it, or helping a grower, given the photos...

Nobody I've ever heard of buys 48lbs in unfinished form like that.

If there was truly 48lbs of dried, finished, buds (which I doubt because of typical Police Math, which often weighs the dirt and the buckets and the stalks and everything), it would have taken about 200+ plants to net 48lbs of sellable weed, so, I dunno, like 3-4 regular 2car garages worth of flowering plants, or a whole house full, something like that, maybe more.

Jesus, which one is the dude? or am I not allowed to ask that anymore?

47 “gender orientation” choices ... why not 48?

"Atrocity"? They set a very low bar if they believe an atrocity has been committed against them.

Yeah, that should be the takeaway from this story.
