So much for the high life.

Cops busted a writer for marijuana magazine High Times along with 45 other people, including a man behind a major hip-hop label, for allegedly operating a multi-million dollar pot ring.

Police arrested magazine writer Matthew Woodstock Stang and Kareem Burke, who founded Roc-a-Fella records along with Jay-Z and Damon Dash, in the federal takedown.

1. "So much for the high life."

How long did it take for the literary genius to come up with that one?

2. Meanwhile, the real criminals on Wall Street remain untouched.

They don't have the time to go after the financial crooks who cost the country trillions or the enemies of the constitution who committed all manner of crimes in the name of fighting terror.

Add these to the list of Tommy Chong, Martha Stewart and Lil Kim.

Do the Feds ever go after anyone except for political reasons?

3. Don't forget Lindsay Lohan, who belongs in

a hospital not a jail.
