ROUND ROCK, Texas – A Texas man is facing up to life in prison for his baking habit. Joe Lavoro said, “It’s outrageous. It’s crazy. I don’t understand it.” Lavoro says he can’t understand why his son is in so much legal trouble. Authorities say 19-year-old Jacob Lavoro is accused of making and selling pot brownies. He is being charged with a first-degree felony. Lavoro said, “Five years to life? I’m sorry. I’m a law abiding citizen. I’m a conservative. I love my country. I’m a Vietnam veteran, but I’ll be damned. This is wrong.” Jack Holmes, Lavoro’s attorney, said, “I was outraged. I’ve been doing this 22 years as a lawyer and I’ve got 10 years as a police officer and I’ve never seen anything like this before.” The charge is so severe because the recipe Jacob used includes hash oil, which allows the state to use the sugar, cocoa, butter and other ingredients to determine the weight of the drugs. Holmes said, “They’ve weighed baked goods in this case. It ought to be a misdemeanor.” Lavoro said, “If he did something wrong, he should be punished but to the extent that makes sense. This is illogical. I’m really upset and I’m frightened. I’m frightened for my son.” Read more: http://fox43.com/2014/05/16/teen-faces-life-in-prison-for-pot-brownies/#ixzz322rsb94M

Our prosecuting attorneys seem to be doing the wrong things to the wrong people... Don't just bitch about it here CAll ,don't just email but CALL these DAs and let them know.... Hey I'm the least among you right? If I can do it, where are you at? Both Williamson and Comal Need and ear full. And ain't nothin illegal about giving these people an ear full. ______________________________________ Suspect all media / resist bad propaganda/Learn NLP everyday everyway ;) If you don't control your mind someone else will.
I don't get the part about hash oil. My understanding of how edibles are made is that you use butter to extract the THC and then bake things using the butter. Doesn't the term hash oil usually refer to butane hash oil? Are they saying he used BHO to make the brownies instead of THC infused butter?
...on the other hand Obummer just released only-God-knows-how-many illegal messicans CONVICTED of murder/rape/robbery/etc.

I think that they were measuring the total weight of the brownies, not the weight of the MJ used...which would seem to be one hell of an undertaking. Don't get busted for ANYTHING in Williamson county.
