According to reports, the bust went down yesterday (February 11) afternoon when cops noticed he did not have his seat belt on.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Benzino was stopped by Atlanta cops late Wednesday afternoon simply for failing to buckle up, but then they found a pot stash in his ride. Benzino was hauled off to jail for the belt violation, suspended license and possession of marijuana. Bail was set at $2,269.00. (TMZ)

Details of the shocking bust landed online in late January.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Benzino put his carry-on bag on the conveyor belt at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. A suspicious TSA employee dug inside and found a loaded 9 millimeter firearm with 7 rounds in the magazine. Benzino didn’t make his flight to L.A., but he did get his very own escort to the local jail. He was released on $3K bail. (TMZ)

  1. This cat will have you thinking brains are in the neck!!! Ol water head boi!!! No wonder he never had a hit and couldn’t slang magazines!

  2. This is the basic SCIENCE of the medicinal value of CANNABIS OIL [the ESSENTIAL OIL] as it relates to cancer: The CANNABINOIDs [the main constituents in cannabis, e.g. THC and CBD] are the counterparts to the ENDOCANNABINOIDs [just like morphine is the counterpart to our endorphins] produced naturally in our bodies [such as ANANDOMIDE]. When these cannabinoids link up with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in our body’s ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM, a substance called CERAMIDE is released. It is the CERAMIDE that seeks out cancerous cells, destroys the mitochondria [the energy-producing organelles], and thus kills the malignant cells, while leaving healthy cells intact. There has been plenty of research on the relationship between CANNABINOIDs and CANCER. These studies show that not only do CANNABINOIDS inhibit tumor growth, but also that they INDUCE CELL APOPTOSIS [programmed cell death]. This is a fact that even the US GOV’T admits on their own website cancerDOTgov [linked below]. Furthermore, Dr. Manuel Guzman [Complutense U. of Madrid] conducted a landmark study that showed: “Cannabinoids are selective antitumour compounds, as they can KILL TUMOUR CELLS without affecting their non-transformed counterparts.” Also, research shows that CANNABINOIDs PROTECT the brain against neurodegeneration. We all know how SMOKING cannabis is therapeutic in certain ways, but the HIDDEN SECRET [thanks to RICK SIMPSON and his film: “RUN FROM THE CURE.”] is that the REAL MEDICINE is in extracting the ESSENTIAL OIL [this is NOT the seed oil found in health stores] and using it topically on skin cancer, burns, rashes,… or ingesting it for internal cancers and other ailments. Check out the links to the scientific research. Also, check out the clip of the PBS special “Clearing the Smoke.” In it, Dr. Donald Abrams [professor at UCSF & oncologist at SF Gen. Hosptital] & Dr. Prakash Nagarkatti [U. of South Carolina] explain the human body’s ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM and a study that shows that CANNABINOIDs KILL CANCER CELLS in test tubes and in mice. Lastly, DENNIS HILL [biochemist, formerly of MD Anderson Cancer Center-Houston–one of the top-ranked cancer facilities in the world] most eloquently explains for the layperson how CANNABINOIDS KILL CANCER CELLS, and how he cured his STAGE 4 prostate cancer in 6 months, without chemo or radiation therapy.
