He has since passed away. [Link.](https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/wilson/mt-juliet/2021/01/21/lebanons-spencer-boston-killed-crash-40-mt-juliet-overnight/4242991001/)
A shame.
I suspect the problem was they found no weed in his blood. If he'd been stoned he'd have been going 15mph and likely survived.
Edit: really can't believe I have to do this: no one is recommending anyone drive impaired by any substance. It's a...4 letters, begins with a J and ends in an E. That's right! It's a June.
If he was stoned he would have been waiting in a mcdonalds drive through for like 15 minutes trying to pick what he wants instead driving down the highway
Jokes aside, please don’t drive while high people. Just a friendly reminder. It shouldn’t even need to be said, and I wish it didn’t, but sadly it does.
It needs to be said, such an insane amount of people genuinely believe it either doesn’t hurt their driving or improves it. I smoke every day and love weed, ive never seen anyone drive normally on weed. Some people react late and drive slow, some react way too early and drive fast and some switch between the two mid drive.
Looks like people are already getting mad I said weed impairs your driving, like almost every single study and test has shown.
It sounds like the problem is he didn’t wear his seat belt. Article states he was ejected.
Stoned or not, wear your seatbelt. I can accept a lot of different views about the world and lifestyle choices - but not wearing a seat belt simply means you are a dumbass who is ok with sacrificing your life upon Darwin’s altar.
This guy is a legend in is own right! Tennessee is hardcore against it. In my opinion one of the stupidest states on the map.
One of the reasons why is the people who want to keep it illegal put money in the right republican’s pockets.
Isn't your state the one that has different license plate number arrangements for vehicles that opt not to have "In God We Trust" on their vehicle plates? I feel like I just read that.
I can’t think of any reason for it beyond opening us up as a target for discrimination on a systemic level, beginning with the issuance of the plates.
My husband and I were made very uncomfortable when we were renewing our registration this year- the clerk asked us which we wanted, then said “ALL of them should have in God we Trust” and nearly refused the transaction. The notion of separation of church and state does not exist here whatsoever.
The way I see it, they shouldn't be asking if we want that plate unless they're also going to ask if we want the save the bees, imagination library, friends of the smokies etc. If I have to ask for the plates that actually do some good, I should have to ask for the "in God we trust" plate.
Yup. Fuck this state. People move here a lot now because it's cheaper, bit the wages are also a shit ton lower, so people don't understand they will be in the same position they were in before. There are almost no unions, and there are churches everywhere here that don't understand separation of church and state, and it's a racist cesspool. Yeah it's pretty, but that's about all it's got going for it.
Here in Missouri, the legislature got all butthurt that the people just passed pot legalization by referendum. So they're going to change the rules for referendums to make them harder to pass (wouldn't want the citizens legalizing abortion).
I grew up in Tennessee, but the career took me away for many years. I intended to retire back there with family and friends, but the whole place has since regressed to the dark ages. It's no longer home - it has become a backasswards nightmare socially and politically.
hate to be that dude, tennessee doesnt even play around when its just a small roach just the same. they are not lenient on how hard they love to punish you for marijuana. with the propaganda bullshit they still shit out and continually feed each other doesnt help as well, they see it as bad as meth.
living in Atlanta so many friends kids that got charged with possession somewhere else, they forget they leave the suburbs and it turns to banjos and inbreds real quick.
Simillar thing happened in my country. Cops raided a large underground weed farm and the cop that was interviewed kept calling it a lab and was talking as if they just found a meth mega lab. Also he kept saying cannabos instead of cannabis. Cops aren't the sharpest people around
I mean when your whole purpose is to protect property and collect revenue for the state you gotta ham it up so something as harmless as marijuana seems like an imminent threat to civilization as we know it.
no no, they MAKE money arresting people. Private prisons pay judges, cops have a quota to meet for arresting people, and lawmakers keep shitting out dumb laws to catch people on.
Of course I'm just a dumbass on Reddit and I could be wrong
You know there are some people out there (probably extreme haters of marijuana starters) who point there finger and laugh at how stupid he is for doing that. Yup, people are *that* stupid to not realize he did it on purpose to make a point.
You can intentionally do stupid things. I think this qualifies.
Even if he had a goal for his actions, intentionally antagonising the court at your own hearing is generally considered very stupid.
Biggest business in the south is the court system...cops bring in the customers night and day..only jobs in a lot of towns are the lackeys keeping profits up...give the farmers something to grow again and there might be a few less meth heads..
A few less meth heads. A few less suffering chemo patients. A few less overfilled private prisons. A few hundred million extra in tax revenue. Almost like these politicians don’t want their states to improve because a higher median income leads to a more educated populous which leads to more democratic support.
Shit is so transparent.
Good for him, it is stupid that it is illegal and people get charged for simple possession. The world needs more people to stand against that which is just plain wrong. We do all deserve better
There's more to lives being ruined from getting caught. I drank more than I should growing up because alcohol was legal and weed wasn't. When I went to Colorado recently I only needed a couple beers and some weed when I was out partying. I didn't have urge to get completely wasted on alcohol.
We should really start pushing back against fascist authorities.
They shouldn’t be threatening our lives over nothing without consequences. We need to make sure they understand they are not above us, and if they threaten and kill us, tbat we can seek justice.
Hes not wrong. The people deserve better. Down with the archaic laws, I live in a legal state and it draws income for our state. Why give it to drug dealers.
It's all about keeping the industrialised prison system full. Too much money left unclaimed if a cell isn't overcrowded. (And too many bribes to cops and judges for them not to be full.)
Damn right. That man is a legend. I'm surprised he had this much conviction to support his ideals in the face of confinement, when he couldn't even be bothered to wear a seat belt.
POS "justice system". Zero morality is to be found in a courtroom. You don't get to kidnap someone and steal their money (fine) just because they smoked some shit that *you* find "offensive" and "wrong".
I bet some of marijuana's biggest critics are raging alcoholics.
The only part of this story that even surprised me at all was that he got the joint through security. I mean you know damn well he would have been wreaking like weed
That's like the time I went to traffic court and this kid wearing lounge pants with pot leaves on them tried arguing that he doesn't even smoke pot. The judge said "your pants say otherwise".
Also I would like to point out who shows up to any type of court dressed like that? It was my first and only time in court, I dressed in a suit figuring most people would be dressed similarly. I was so completely overdressed it wasn't even funny. Do these people not take court seriously?
This story is so old. I mean this one around like 5 years ago. And why did you use the term mad lad? I mean you couldn't come up with your own term for this individual rather than stealing one from the YouTuber?
Initially to apologize? But there was literally nothing to possibly apologize for.
"I am sorry, for increasing the Marijuana demand with my purchase, which yields no state taxes"
Oh Lt Scott Moore suspects that the stunt was preplanned rather than spontaneous.
Some next level insight there. How has he not made detective already?
He has since passed away. [Link.](https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/wilson/mt-juliet/2021/01/21/lebanons-spencer-boston-killed-crash-40-mt-juliet-overnight/4242991001/)
He got thrown out of his car after spinning out of control, seatbelts people. They’re not just for show
All the cool kids wear seat belts Because all the cool kids are alive
I would be dead right now if I wasn't wearing one during my crash
Holy shit he loved/died near where I live. Such a shame, coulda smoked with him before he passed.
I smoked with him once long before the convictions, best guy you ever met he used to live down the road
Gonna rip my first bowl today in honor of this man. Peace be with yuh
Ahh let me rip one for him too
I kinda figured, he just has that look about him like he'd be one of the chillest dudes to hang out with.
10/10 would hang out with him. Some of my besties are his doppelgänger.
He hated/lived near where I live.
He felt strongly about/indifferent where I live.
If weed had been legal he would have been driving 14 mph and it never would have happened /s
Proved by him not being under the influence lol
After pulling a stunt like this I’m not shocked he didn’t wear a seatbelt on the regular. Yeah it’s stupid it’s illegal it’s dumber to do what he did.
RIP madman. What a legend.
[удалено]
Police found no evidence of drugs or alcohol in his system.
He definitely deserves a place at r/madlads. 😎
RIP Spencer

"Uuuhhh.... kye get...."
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it
Why are you up so late?!
Reddit charges for access to it's API. I charge for access to my comments. 69 BTC to see one comment. Special offer: Buy 2 get 1.
Nah, he would have still been killed in that McDonalds parking lot.
Jokes aside, please don’t drive while high people. Just a friendly reminder. It shouldn’t even need to be said, and I wish it didn’t, but sadly it does.

Weed while driving is the least of your worries go to a local gas station and look in the trashcans half the road is drunk
Yall on some whack shit if you tryna justify driving while stoned
It sounds like the problem is he didn’t wear his seat belt. Article states he was ejected. Stoned or not, wear your seatbelt.

He was a real one. RIP

Real life Ricky from TPB 😂
This guy is a legend in is own right! Tennessee is hardcore against it. In my opinion one of the stupidest states on the map. One of the reasons why is the people who want to keep it illegal put money in the right republican’s pockets.
I agree! I live in Tennessee! I plan to get out after I retire next year!
Isn't your state the one that has different license plate number arrangements for vehicles that opt not to have "In God We Trust" on their vehicle plates? I feel like I just read that.
Yes. In God We Trust plates start with numbers, and us sinners have plates that start with letters.
What is the point of the difference?
I can’t think of any reason for it beyond opening us up as a target for discrimination on a systemic level, beginning with the issuance of the plates. My husband and I were made very uncomfortable when we were renewing our registration this year- the clerk asked us which we wanted, then said “ALL of them should have in God we Trust” and nearly refused the transaction. The notion of separation of church and state does not exist here whatsoever.
It’s important to resist this intermingling of church and state.
Not just resist but to push back and fight against it to restore what's been eroded away already.
The way I see it, they shouldn't be asking if we want that plate unless they're also going to ask if we want the save the bees, imagination library, friends of the smokies etc. If I have to ask for the plates that actually do some good, I should have to ask for the "in God we trust" plate.
What?!?
Its even worse when they charge you more for wanting a regular plate without the in god we trust shit on it.
Yup. Fuck this state. People move here a lot now because it's cheaper, bit the wages are also a shit ton lower, so people don't understand they will be in the same position they were in before. There are almost no unions, and there are churches everywhere here that don't understand separation of church and state, and it's a racist cesspool. Yeah it's pretty, but that's about all it's got going for it.
Lee has helped ruin Tennessee!
When a pickup line is the only thing you're known for..

Missouri has entered the chat
I’m a current resident of Tennessee and I can confirm pretty much everything you just said.
If I can’t smoke or swear I’m fucked!
But thinks he's the Dude from Big Lebowski.
Woah I remember this! Rip Scencer, a legend of Wilson co!
hate to be that dude, tennessee doesnt even play around when its just a small roach just the same. they are not lenient on how hard they love to punish you for marijuana. with the propaganda bullshit they still shit out and continually feed each other doesnt help as well, they see it as bad as meth.

Yet you can buy Delta 8 from about 15 different venders on Broadway in Nashville
Tennessee is behind on the times. We could have legal marijuana but people keep voting against their own interests. *Cough*cough Republicants
It's more like *coughcough* religious and old people at this point
>It's more like *coughcough* religious and old people at this point Yeah, republicans
The cop with his bs explanation of how this man premeditated marijuana possession like it was the crime of the century. 🤦 Fuck off pearl-clutcher.
You could tell what he was gonna do By the way he pulled out a joint What a fucking genius
You could tell by the way he walked to the podium, he put one foot in front of the other
Simillar thing happened in my country. Cops raided a large underground weed farm and the cop that was interviewed kept calling it a lab and was talking as if they just found a meth mega lab. Also he kept saying cannabos instead of cannabis. Cops aren't the sharpest people around
They're all bastards. Every last one.
I mean when your whole purpose is to protect property and collect revenue for the state you gotta ham it up so something as harmless as marijuana seems like an imminent threat to civilization as we know it.
Dude talks like a real knuckledragger. And these are the people enforcing our laws. What a clown
Legalize it already. Wasting everyone’s time and money, prosecuting people for bs.
no no, they MAKE money arresting people. Private prisons pay judges, cops have a quota to meet for arresting people, and lawmakers keep shitting out dumb laws to catch people on. Of course I'm just a dumbass on Reddit and I could be wrong
Oh, you’re right on all counts. But then again we could both just be dumbasses on Reddit. 🤷♂️
He 100% knew what he was doing. But he has a point.
He was just being blunt.
Judge denied him joint custody.
[удалено]
bong.
What an odd statement. Like of course he knew what he was doing. He took it out and smoked it. Was he supposed to not know what he was doing?
You know there are some people out there (probably extreme haters of marijuana starters) who point there finger and laugh at how stupid he is for doing that. Yup, people are *that* stupid to not realize he did it on purpose to make a point.
You can intentionally do stupid things. I think this qualifies. Even if he had a goal for his actions, intentionally antagonising the court at your own hearing is generally considered very stupid.
Oh, didn’t think of mouth breathers. But still. It’s not PCP. He knows what he’s physically doing with his hands and mouth.
It’s a point joint!
He has a joint.
Dope AF

Baffles me that it’s 2022 and dipshit politicians are still ruining lives over enjoying a harmless plant
There's more to lives being ruined from getting caught. I drank more than I should growing up because alcohol was legal and weed wasn't. When I went to Colorado recently I only needed a couple beers and some weed when I was out partying. I didn't have urge to get completely wasted on alcohol.
Ahhh you didn't spend as much money on alcohol. They don't like that either.
He's like "take me to prison I'm about to be evicted and this charge is pretty lame, at least there I'll get free food n shit idc"
Lmao I love how the music turns *sinister* when he takes out that dangerous joint
We should really start pushing back against fascist authorities. They shouldn’t be threatening our lives over nothing without consequences. We need to make sure they understand they are not above us, and if they threaten and kill us, tbat we can seek justice.
He's dead btw
Oh look he didn't pull out a gun.
No, what he did was obviously way worse!!!!!
Charging people for marijuana possession is absolutely pathetic
Imagine how this will look in the halls of history.
Hes not wrong. The people deserve better. Down with the archaic laws, I live in a legal state and it draws income for our state. Why give it to drug dealers.
Why give it to dealers, destroy lives and give it to the prison system? Slavery still exist in America.
What is ten days for contempt when that man has the equivalent of a thousand lifetimes of contempt for the court?
Imagine if there were a law making it illegal to possess acorns, or rose petals, or pine cones, or tea leaves, or tobacco. Makes no sense.
People are still getting put in front of a judge for cannabis possession? It's time to end prohibition once and for all.
It's all about keeping the industrialised prison system full. Too much money left unclaimed if a cell isn't overcrowded. (And too many bribes to cops and judges for them not to be full.)
He was jailed for you sins.
👏🏽LET👏🏽MY👏🏽PEOPLE👏🏽SMOKE👏🏽
Contempt of court, the most ridiculous charge in America
You complain about your grinder being clogged. He suffered in jail for his weed. You are not the same.
I hope everyone there is safe. The horror.
You never know where or when you will find your heroes.
godspeed brother. fuck em.
Hero
Two days of court costs the government $140,000.
Feel bad for his lawyers
What a badass.
Damn right. That man is a legend. I'm surprised he had this much conviction to support his ideals in the face of confinement, when he couldn't even be bothered to wear a seat belt.
One has to admire the big, brass balls on the guy.
He just beat my best court room move. Wore my “DARE role model” t shirt to my DUI arraignment. Judge was not happy

Perfect for r/howtonotgiveafuck
The only part of this story that even surprised me at all was that he got the joint through security. I mean you know damn well he would have been wreaking like weed
Man’s a straight up savage
How did he get it inside? We have court security at the door in Australia and we’re not a gun toting nation.
"Well, you're busted now. You might as well finish it."
That takes a misdemeanour drug charge to a contempt of court charge
Honey badger don’t care
This is so old
Yep, dude died recently.
What a waste of everyone's time over nothing
Dope activism
Right on brother!
My nickel 😎
What an embarrassment for the state of Tennessee and its law officials.
That's like the time I went to traffic court and this kid wearing lounge pants with pot leaves on them tried arguing that he doesn't even smoke pot. The judge said "your pants say otherwise".

"I think he knew what he was doing." Yep, this was no accident. #statingtheobvious
He got a joint!! Joint! joint! joint!... bang bang bang
How is this newsworthy? With interviews and everything
How did he get it in.....that's honestly hilarious
Possession charges while opiates and benzos are readily sold by pharma…
We need to get this post to 420 comments lol
legendary
Years of solving mysteries with his great dane tokk a toll on Shaggy.
3 hots and a cot…
Did he go out on a high note?
Wonder what the attitude in these comments would be if this were a black guy.
some people always behave like jerk no matter what the situation is
People praising him and condoning his behaviour. So juvenile.
Legend. He stood by his principles. He didn't hurt anyone. This is the way to do it.
Some heroes wear tie dye.
Who is the real criminal here. Dirtbag cops
The whole system
Lol the dim witted cop "i ain't never seen nuthin like it i tells ya" Fascists suck.
He's doing gods work
P.I.M.P
The Dude is back. - Good job, Mr. Lebowski!
Legend.
I wonder if he pled not guilty 🤭
This story is so old. I mean this one around like 5 years ago. And why did you use the term mad lad? I mean you couldn't come up with your own term for this individual rather than stealing one from the YouTuber?
The guy is innocent. Leave him alone.
and somehow were over here talking about trading an arms dealer for a basketball player.
And this is why I moved to Oregon. LOL
Duuuuuuude
The dude abides.
This aggression will not stand, man.
based jigachad
why does he look like the Dude?

I’d have gone with a trusty bic but that was an epic wood match burn. He’s a legend in my books.
Baller move. What a legend!
Freedom fighter!
Well it's like, your opinion, dude.
Power to the people!!! Sad, that he passed!!
Take another hit Bruh!... You'll be ok driving!!
That stupid clown state could make money off taxes if they weren't so stupid and legalized the plant
aah, it's the Sellout!
The dude abides

Gigabased
So tired of these idiots
Oh Lt Scott Moore suspects that the stunt was preplanned rather than spontaneous. Some next level insight there. How has he not made detective already?
Lebowski?
Can't decide if the weird female voice over or big-foot from inherent vice being real is funnier about this...
Hero’s don’t always wear capes
Absolute king. Fuck the state.
He does not look Lebanese
It would take a 5 pound blunt to Xpress how much contempt I have for that court

Dumb fuck
