I am a little confused.
This guy had BOTH MJ and Hashish is that correct?
Even if the MJ was for medical purposes and obtained legally in CA, that does not excuse the Hashish (which to my understanding is NOT prescribed for medical purposes).
Does not sound like an innocent victim to me. And then there is the notebook/cell phone evidence.
Clearly the article was written from the viewpoint of being against the Texas drug laws. However, Texas drug laws are Texas Drug laws.
If you don't like the drug laws in Texas, that is one more reason not to go to Texas. But if you do go to Texas, you will be under Texas laws, like em or not.
