Native El Pasoan here. Contacted last year by a friend. A local (Alaska) politician and her husband had been arrested at the checkpoint east of El Paso with some brownies. A gift for some friends they were headed to visit.Here in Oregon there are still rumors that getting caught with a seed in Texas will get you sent to prison.
Brownies are a concentrate in Texas so both arrested and charged with felonies. Called a friend down there and got the number for THE lawyer. No idea the cost but she (the politician) got off entirely when the husband claimed them as his. Then the lawyer got it pleaded down to a misdemeanor. That involved a hefty fine and probation. Then he had to pay to get Alaska to oversee probation for a “crime” that’s not a crime at all here.
Texas sucks.
