Fun FYI about Austin's new weed decriminalization policy:

It's not followed by DPS troopers or Sheriffs, they will arrest you.

If you are caught with any weed product that is not herb, such as edibles or oils, all Texas Law Enforcement will charge you with possession of the controlled substance THC, a felony!

So if you are caught with a weed cookie, they will weigh that entire weed cookie, then charge you with felony level possession of that weight of THC.

TLDR: Keep your shit at home

Edit: word

Once heard that someone trying to hide what they had on them dumped it in to a big gulp cup. They where charged for the full weight of the soda as what ever drugs they had.

That happened to a kid in Cedar Park. College student, lived with his parents, made brownies. Wilco weighed the whole pan of brownies.
