A Pasadena father and son were arrested Friday for allegedly possessing marijuana with intent to distribute, police said.
At about 6:45 a.m. Friday, Pasadena Police Department officers made an enforcement traffic stop for a sign violation, said PPD Lt. Chris Russ. The driver, Thomas Graham Sr., 42, looked “very nervous,” Russ said. When officers ran his driver’s license information, they discovered Graham was on parole and searched his car. Authorities found 50 packed bags of marijuana, which is consistent with drug distribution, Russ said.
PPD officers arrested Graham as well as his son, who was a pssenger in the vehicle. Graham’s son was identified by authorities as Thomas Graham, Jr., 25.

This sort of crime would be eliminated if marijuana were legal.
Our current marijuana laws are impossible to enforce. Despite decades of marijuana eradication and despite arresting 800,000 people a year, pot is still easier to buy for most high school kids than beer.
Keeping marijuana illegal does not benefit our children. It benefits special interest groups: drug cartels, the prison industry, police departments, and government bureaucracies.
It is immoral to prevent responsible adults from choosing to use a less harmful substance in place of alcohol. If pot were legalized, alcohol use would decrease along with its associated social costs.
If you want marijuana to be legalized, taxed, and regulated for adults, YOU can make it happen. Tell your legislators to support California Assembly Bill 390. It’s easy. Visit yes390.org
