January 1998 - After being busted for pot possession, Brown told the local media he smoked small quantities of marijuana for medicinal purposes. "I have bad eyes. It was just a little tiny bit. It wasn't even a misdemeanor." The charges were later dropped. Whitney Houston got busted in January 2001, after she was caught with a half-ounce of buds in a Hawaii airport. Since airport security doesn't have the authority to arrest or detain people, Houston just left the bag and boarded a flight with husband Bobby Brown to San Francisco.
Houston's lawyers had her Hawaiian record cleared within a few months. The Hawaiian judge dismissed the misdemeanor possession charges after a drug counselor declared that Houston did not have a substance abuse problem.
