posted (January 7, 2015)

The US State of Minnesota will legalize medicinal marijuana on July first 2015, but it seems one Minnesotan was trying to get a jump on that her in Belize.

Forty-two year old Mario Silva Brown, a Honduran who lives in Minnesota, was fined $250 today by Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser after he pled guilty to a charge of possession of 0.9 grams of cannabis – less than one tenth of an ounce. Brown, who works as a bathroom and kitchen designer, was ordered to pay forthwith. He paid the fine and he was released.

He was busted on Monday, January 5, in San Pedro while on vacation. The police were on patrol in the Boca Del Rio area when they stopped Brown and found the cannabis in a grey knapsack.
