Sumo Wrestler Arrested for Pot Grass

Wakanoho
For a sport that no one outside of Japan seems to care about, Sumo Wrestling has been in the news quite a bit lately…and today it’s back.

Soslan Aleksandrovich Gagloev, aka “Wakanoho,” was arrested yesterday after authorities found a third of a gram of pot in his wallet.

They say they found a third of a gram of marijuana in his wallet. That’s enough to land him in prison on a diet of forced labor for five years if he’s convicted.

Five years for a third of a gram. That some serious shit, people. Japan, apparently, is not brahsome. At all.

The guy weighs 335 lbs and we’re supposed to be surprised he’s puffing the pot grass? Please. You don’t get to 335 by sipping wheat grass at the health club.

/Obviously I only wrote this up so I could use ‘pot grass.’
