10 grams is a felony in TX. (That’s a lite half oz)

It’s his car, which makes it his weed.

Just a misdemeanor in TX, Google is your friend

I did Google.

Says anything over 7grams is a felony with mandatory jail time.

It’d only be a misdemeanor here. But weed is legal. Still illegal in a car though. Unless it’s in the trunk.

This is where I'm getting confused. Googled as well and got two different sides of the story.

This is the problem with an incident like this happening this time of year. We have nothing else to talk about until the NFL draft. I've read more about weed laws in the different states than I ever hoped to on a fantasy football message board. LOL. I am looking forward to the live podcast that the Kelce's are doing from the University of Cincinnati's stadium on the 11th though. Hopefully the Chiefs draft a receiver in the 1st round just to screw with everybody's thought process.

Well, Florio and others have a lot of time on their hands as well.

How much more patience will the Browns have with Deshaun Watson?

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson said Thursday he'll be ready for Week 1.

On a different note, I was sad to see that Peter King retired. I always read his Football Morning in America article each week. He was a great writer and had a lot of NFL insights.

Jesus on the concentrate one. I was hitting my pen right in the bar in the middle of downtown dallas. Had like 5 of us passing it around. Didn't realize I was being such a bad ass.

Right, that's where I went. Which is why It's so confusing that news sources are quoting other things.

Wonder if this changed recently?

I already closed the windows from looking earlier. But I’m pretty sure I was a Texas governement site that said 7grams was the threshold (a quarter)

Years ago, did it every night at the Jersey shore.

Never, ever, even thought twice about it.

I'd imagine it has changed in the last 3-5yrs, probably shortly after whenever Oklahoma blew their doors wide open. OK is one of the least regulated, anything goes, wild wild west of the weed states right now.

Kansas did a similar thing after Colorado legalized recreational - they were pulling over so many people bringing stuff back it was clogging up their entire judicial system/jails/processing offices...everything was completely inundated so they changed it all to allow them to write tickets and just collect big fees instead of dealing with charging everyone with felonies.

Nebraska once indicted me on felony distribution. (Only business in the tiny Colorado town I bought it in was a weed store just across the border)

Dropped in exchange for a few grand. Fuckers…

You're lucky you had the few grand.

Whole thing was a racket.

Turns out my lawyer was one of the county commissioners who had decided to put roadblocks on I80 to generate revenue.

He made his money too.

Crazy thing was, when I got back home, a kid that worked for me asked “did you get arrested in Lexington Nebraska last weekend?”

I laughed and asked how he knew. His mom’s best friend was my lawyers secretary. He grew up there. Small world. He knew of the money making racket, but I’d failed to tell him I was gonna drive thru Nebraska, or he would’ve warned me of the roadblocks. Which are now outlawed as unconstitutional.

This should have been its own thread.
But at least the board perked up.

My base expectation is that Rice will get legally slapped on the wrist but suspended 2-4 games. I also think this is the type of thing that will make him a Dolphin or Brown in a couple of years.

Watson to Rice. That just makes too much sense

Good to know if I want to smoke a bowl again. It’s been a long time

I would think it changed. Every other person I walk by smells like weed. The gym, my apartment complex, on the street. I saw this HS kid light up when I was taking my dog out for a shit. Either people are really stupid, definitely possible, or they aren’t as strict. I haven’t paid attention bc I haven’t done it since my mid 20’s

Honestly the GTA lifestyle seems like a Florida man move.
