In news that will shock no one, Bob Marley‘s youngest daughter Makeda pleaded guilty to growing marijuana in her home. Marley lives in Pennsylvania and was arrested in 2008 after police found a dozen pot plants at her home. As part of her plea deal, she will not face the mandatory one-year sentence that normally comes with this type of drug charge. Instead, her lawyers are pushing for probation and she will be sentenced next month.
We would never want to obstruct justice or trivialize drugs, but really, isn’t Makeda just fulfilling her destiny as a Marley? Is anyone actually surprised that she, the youngest of Marley’s children, likes the mary jane and might grow some of her own? She’s not breaking the law, she’s just doing what’s in her genetic code. Of course, who knew living in Pennsylvania was also part of the Marley genetic code? We didn’t see that one coming.
