Drug agents and police planned to arrest a Jamaican national in his Jefferson Hills townhouse Thursday on charges of selling drugs after a year-long investigation.But they didn't expect to find 450 pounds of marijuana sitting in the living room in compressed bales.
Authorities said Courtney I. Shaw, 27, was part of a national marijuana ring.Shaw was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute it.Dominic Braccio, who heads the Pittsburgh office of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said there are cells of Jamaican drug traffickers across the country who are supplied by couriers from California.One of the drug traffickers, Robert Ramsey, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court Jan. 6 to conspiracy to distribute marijuana.Federal authorities said Ramsey, who lived in California, would ship bales of marijuana to Pittsburgh by using couriers who would rent limousines and drive the deliveries into town.A criminal complaint said Shaw had distributed 800 pounds of marijuana in the Pittsburgh area between August of 1997 and January of 1998.

I like marijuana
I like weed. You shouldn't arrest people for seelling or smoking it. The only reason people get arrested for selling weed is because the government don't see any money from it.Even the president smoked pot.
