A number of states have legalized marijuana, but Texas has yet to take that leap. Maybe because a majority of the state does not care for it? Still, Austin is a city where so many people smoke pot, it would be impossible to arrest and/or fine every person under the influence. A lot easier to just legalize it and make a profit, at least off the selling of the ID card (it is around $100 where I live), as California does.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091206651191402114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238764490786855274.post-61820445601591855292012-07-21T14:53:59.339-05:002012-07-21T14:53:59.339-05:00I suppose technically smoking MJ could also be tam...I suppose technically smoking MJ could also be tampering, if the person started sucking hard on the joint as soon as the cops arrived. The image of that rather amuses me, actually. Oh, to answer your first question, it'd depend on the amounts involved. A large marijuana-laced brownie, yes.D.A.

If eating pot is tampering with evidence, presumably because the pot "disappears", why isn't smoking it also tampering (it literally goes up in smoke)?

The guy eating the marijuana tampered with evidence--a third degree felony. But I'm a prosecutor so that might be cheating! I have discussed the irony of this situation on a number of occasions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
