It’s clear that David Bowie didn’t want to fall into the same crowd as those busted with tiny quantities on their person – he was found to be carrying no less than ½ lb. of cannabis when he was arrested in 1976. Technically speaking, he could have been handed a 15-year prison sentence but magically and mysteriously managed to get away with it. But then again, this was the seventies and he was David Bowie.
