According to the Michigan Supreme Court, THC-infused edibles are not considered “usable marijuana” under state medical marijuana laws unless they contain actual plant material.
Because, you know, THC isn’t useful and doesn’t come from the plant or anything like that.
The decision stems from a 2011 traffic stop in which Earl Chambers was pulled over, searched and slapped with intent to deliver charges for the mason jars and plastic baggies full of herb he had on him as well as for the brownies. Not only was he charged for the dry weight of the dry herb, he was charged with the full weight of the brownies themselves.

A few weeks ago, we told you about the strange case of Ray McFeters, a 73-year-old veteran living near Lake Mille Lacs, Minnesota who could face up to 12 years in prison for his 25 to 30 bowls-a-day marijuana habit. But don’t think that McFeters’s pending legal quandary curbed his pot use. “I love pot,” he says. “Pot saved my life. I’ll never stop smoking pot.”
The Minneapolis City Pages has the rest of McFeters’s story.

A housekeeper for a 23-year-old man in Chicago unknowingly ate a pot-filled brownie earlier this week.
That shouldn’t normally be a headline, but apparently this woman couldn’t handle her shit and freaked out. So bad, in fact, that the 23-year-old resident of the house called 911 for an ambulance – even though he clearly knew what she had consumed because he’s the one who made the brownie in the first place.

Hopefully none of you needto know this, but if you’re getting arrested in Texas and you’ve got herb on you and give it to the cops outside of the police station then you’re getting a misdemeanor at most. If you wait until you are inside, it becomes a felony. For the exact same bag of ganja.
Unfortunately, 18-year-old Marty Segura didn’t get that helpful service announcement in time.

Police in Glendale, Arizona sniffed out a pot grower who had a kindergarten-level excuse for his growing operation — the dog ate his medical-marijuana card.
According to court documents obtained by New Times, Charles Stephens III was growing outside of the limitations of the medical-marijuana program anyway. In an officer’s probable-cause statement, he describes literally sniffing out the growing operation inside a home, which he caught a whiff of from the nearby street corner. The Phoenix New Times has the local coverage.
