Rapper 2 Chainz Arrested for Drug Possession
Tauheed Epps, better known as 2 Chainz, was arrested on possession charges after drugs were allegedly found in his checked luggage. According to a news report in Entertainment Weekly, he was escorted off a plane at Los Angeles International Airport. Officials allegedly found marijuana and Promethazine, which is a key ingredient in the street drug concoctions “lean” or “sizzurp.” This is the rapper’s second drug-related arrest this year. He was arrested back in February for marijuana possession after the Maryland State Police pulled over his van.
Marijuana is widely considered a relatively harmless drug that has a number of medical uses. However, California law enforcement officers and prosecutors continue to prosecute individuals found in possession of marijuana to the full extent of the law. It is important for anyone facing marijuana charges in California to take their situation seriously because penalties for a conviction can be severe.
