Juvenile’s latest recording session went up in smoke yesterday as police arrested the rapper on marijuana charges.
The bust went down at a house in the New Orleans area that Juvenile, whose real name is Terius Gray, uses as a recording studio.
What’s really interesting is what led to the bust, according to New Orleans media reports. Apparently, police were notified after neighbors began noticing the flagrant aroma of cannabis wafting out of the building sometime in the afternoon. When your neighbors notice the smell, it’s probably an indication that someone may want to cut back on their toking habits. That or write it up as a screenplay for the next Cheech & Chong movie.
Local TV station WDSU notes that when Juvenile’s producer, Leroy Edwards, answered the door when police came a’knocking, a cloud of reefer smoke rushed out the door.
Police then searched Edwards and found some marijuana, which led to officers obtaining a search warrant for the premises. The subsequent search resulted in the discovery of more pot in the building’s kitchen, which the rapper claimed was his own.
Juvenile and Edwards were taken to jail, booked on marijuana possession, and both were released just before midnight, according to MTV.
This isn’t the first time Juvenile has been arrested on marijuana charges. The rapper was busted for possession in 2008 during a traffic stop in Mississippi.

THIBODAUX — When Matthew Zugsberger surveys his California garden, he sees what he calls a “beautiful” sight: dozens of marijuana plants in different stages of growth. Their leaves will be smoked, sold or given away, he says, to other people with medical marijuana prescriptions.
Such a garden — legal in the state where Zugsberger lives — would be illegal in Louisiana because the state has no law permitting medical use or possession of marijuana.
But Zugsberger, who faces drug charges in Lafourche Parish, aims to change that.
Zugsberger is scheduled to appear in Judge John LeBlanc’s courtroom Thursday morning. He seeks to quash the indictment charging him with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.
“The smartest thing they could do if they don’t want to make case law is to drop the case,” said Zugsberger, a 33-year-old who suffered a collapsed spine while working as a deep sea diver in 2005.
Zugsberger argues that he had a prescription from a doctor in his home state for more than two pounds of marijuana that State Police seized from him in Thibodaux on June 19, 2008. Medical marijuana helps ease his pains better than other drugs, Zugsberger said.
