A Texas teenager accused of making and selling brownies laced with marijuana and hash oil is facing a punishment that could include anywhere from five years to life in prison.

Seems a little harsh

I don't give a frick about this kid.

There should be harsh penalties. Make it so that people don't want to break the law for fear of the consequences.

Authorities say hash oil is a controlled substance with much harsher state penalties than marijuana. The oil has higher concentrations of the psychoactive component of marijuana. It's in a penalty group with amphetamines and ecstasy.


Good to know

I heard that under the law, the entire weight of the brownie can be considered an illegal drug. So, while there may not have been much oil in there (may even have been misdemeanor levels, dunno), all the other ingredients are factored in. So, the sugar, flour, coco, etc. are all considered illegal drugs.

Seems a bit ridiculous.

His life doesn't need to be ruined. Common sense is not being used.

Not to be an a-hole but

He broke the law. Harsh or not it's not like he accidentally made these. Don't do drugs. It's quite simple

This kid should not be punished at all. No one was harmed by these brownies.

Meanwhile we've got assholes with already over half a dozen DUI's stumbling around the parking lot of their local bar in a drunken stupor fumbling as they try to get their keys to unlock their 5,000 lb kamikaze.


How many people die each year from teens making pot brownies?

How many people die each year due to drunk drivers?

Am I the only one seeing the problem here?

It's not about drug use.. It's about freedoms.. The government should not be able to tell you what smoke you can inhale or what brownies you can eat.. Screw the pompous judge and his bullshite ruling

If you're going to be a drug dealer you should know the fines and jail time associated with your actions.

This is so fricking pathetic. Something that is practically legal in one state will get you locked up for years with violent criminals in another.

A perfect case for Jury nullification, that would leave the judge and prosecutor with dicks in their hands.

Kid is lucky he didn't kill anyone. I don't think he should get life though.
