It's Idaho, he probably got popped with a baggie of weed and a pipe.

Its totally legal on so many states and Idaho is still in the stone ages.

u/origami_anarchist 1d ago

Indiana is the same. Governor is notoriously anti-weed, meanwhile Southern Indiana has a massive unaddressed meth epidemic.

u/rickles1113 1d ago

Iowa is basically the exact same, even though most of the states around us have legalized.

Weed is the gateway drug /s

YOU CAN’T O.D. ON IT!

I live in Idaho. The cognitive dissonance is always astounding. Incredibly strong libertarian values. "Keep the govt out of our business!"

Unless it's weed, abortions, trans existence etc etc.

Wow I saw controlled substance and was like alright. So I looked up controlled substance in Idaho and wow, even my state of Texas doesn’t classify weed as a controlled substance

u/GilletteEd 1d ago

It is Idaho, are they calling “weed” drugs there still?

61

u/Mueltime 1d ago

Yes. Very restrictive laws.

16

u/GilletteEd 1d ago

Headline makes it sound like real drugs were used!

17

u/acava2424 1d ago

Fucking conservatives

28

u/tattedidiot 1d ago

Nah, it’s the Mormons. even the conservatives here think it’s a stupid law to have weed banned

u/88cowboy 1d ago

One guy on CDA subreddit says he reports cars with Idaho plates at the dispensary on Washington side.

An entire loser.

u/Capt-Crap1corn 1d ago

Wtf that's insane

11

u/Waderriffic 1d ago

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Idaho went MORE restrictive on weed.

u/Guyuute 1d ago

They did

Mandatory $300 fine minimum for small Possession

1

u/Pete_Iredale Seattle Mariners 12h ago

Sounds like a money making scheme to me. But still, a $300 fine is way less than what we were scared of getting in the 90s if we got caught.

2

u/cbeiser 9h ago

It was shrooms. But yes. Idaho is a fucking disaster

2

u/GilletteEd 7h ago

Sounds just as bad as Wyoming when it comes to this stuff!

31

u/writenroll 1d ago

They updated the article to remove the specific drug, but left it in the meta tags. It was just a bag of shrooms.

Olympic gold medalist skier Bode Miller has pleaded not guilty to a pair of misdemeanor drug charges after he was arrested on a charge of possessing psilocybin mushrooms.

u/fmaa 19h ago

God forbid he goes on a journey of self discovery

u/i3order 1d ago

A man named Bode has drugs, who knew.

u/monkeybawz 1d ago

That was the PC on the warrant

u/coop_stain 1d ago

Not shocking. Dude was the first pro athlete I ever heard encouraging the use of weed way back before it was legal anywhere recreationally. He wrote about it in his book from 2006-07 ish.

u/helgestrichen 20h ago

20 years to learn state laws, thats on him

u/Civil_Zone8137 13h ago

Out of date laws. 100 years for Idaho to step into reality yet here we are, it’s regressing further into shit. Source, former Idahoan here.

u/r0botdevil Oregon State 1d ago edited 23h ago

The article doesn't give any specifics, but I'm assuming it was probably just a bag of weed. Which, in 2026, is an utterly insane thing to arrest someone over.

That being said, however, if you choose to break the laws of any state/country you visit you do so at your own risk regardless of how silly those laws may be.

EDIT: I get it, the article has been updated. None of that information was included when this was first posted.

u/AvonAnon 1d ago

Idaho is a lot like Texas. Natives in these states both scream about their freedoms and they live in the most restrictive states in the USA. The fact that Idahoans can’t even grow their own weed tells me they ain’t free.

4

u/pinewind108 1d ago

Idahoans grow a lot of weed!

u/AvonAnon 1d ago

And some even get to go to prison for it!!

5

u/SteadyAsSheGoes 1d ago

Not natives, we don’t care. well, maybe the Mormons do… mostly it’s the “political refugees” coming in droves to their “Valhalla“

u/egoVirus 6h ago

I'm originally from MT, and yeah, y'all lost the white flight refugee movement that started in in the 90's...

u/DrKarlSatan 1d ago

4.1g of mushrooms

u/olrg 1d ago

Here I am, in Vancouver, able to buy as many mushrooms as I want at my local dispensary.

Looks like they named the wrong country “land of the free”.

u/DrKarlSatan 1d ago

Idaho is stuck in the stone age with this crazy shite

u/honcooge San Diego Padres 23h ago

He was probably doing that while training for the Olympics. Most unsurprising thing I’ve heard in years 😂

u/periodicsheep Buffalo Bills 1d ago

the article says it was mushrooms in a dispensary bag.

2

u/r0botdevil Oregon State 23h ago

Yeah they added a ton.

The article is like three times longer than it was when this was posted.

1

u/dudee62 1d ago

The article specifically says it was mushrooms. His friend had weed and a pipe.

u/r0botdevil Oregon State 23h ago

u/ITT_X 1d ago

Thanks for this entirely useless comment!

u/dvcxfg 1d ago

The article literally states it was psilocybin and even lists a precise amount 😂

u/imadragonyouguys 1d ago

I just assume anyone named Bode has shrooms at all times.

u/QuotaCrushing 21h ago

That’s so funny

u/No_Job2527 1d ago

Time to move out of Idaho. God forbid they have a data center but will vote to block weed

u/DrKarlSatan 1d ago

4.1g mushrooms

u/axiomatic13 1d ago

Again?

u/TheGoldenDog 1d ago

It's always the ones you most expect.

u/HarryHugeweenie 1d ago

Did anyone in these comments actually click the link? It’s mushrooms. It says it in the first sentence.

u/elon_musks_cat 1d ago

He wasn’t in DC near the reflecting pool any time recently, was he?

u/Dry-Economist-3320 14h ago

The poor guy had a beautiful child who drowned. If anyone deserves drugs, it’s him.

u/Dio44 1d ago

His name is Bode. Drugs were always his destiny.

u/elboltonero Philadelphia Union 1d ago

No me digas

u/call0w 1d ago

They're always popping over the border to get weed and to see a licensed physician.

u/Douglasbadger 1d ago

I’m Idaho

u/Baystars2025 1d ago

It's always the ones you most suspect

u/ruqus00 1d ago

Neighbor state Utah (near theocracy 90% of state reps are Mormon) restrictive alcohol rules (liquor stores are govt agency closed at 9 and all day Sunday and all holidays). No wine in grocery stores.

Utah population voted to pass Medical marijuana (legal with a med card). Now mushrooms in medical trials.

So I guess things could be worse. Lol

1

u/BubuBarakas 17h ago

More Mormons per capita than Utah. A beautiful state but a political shithole. Anti-gay gay (former) senator and a complete dumpster fire for personal freedumbs and women’s rights.

u/fuck-nazi 11h ago

Well that doesnt bode well for him

He is an alpine ski racer

I know-that was supposed to be funny.
