Is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in eatable form a felony in Texas?
Asked on Jul 18th, 2016 on Felonies - Texas
More details to this question:
Hello, I was recently driving my mothers vehicle and was pulled over. The cop wasn't very friendly and proceeded to search the entire vehicle and found a little bag of candies. When he tested the bag of candy I was in shock when he said it was amphetamines,replied there's no way and he needed to check again. After getting out of jail the courts retested the candy with different results, this time it was Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. I'm still given a felony for this offense and can't see why. 1. Is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in the eatable form a felony? 2. If the courts have two different testing result can it be thrown out of court? 3. I thought it's funny I was given a previous prosecutors as my court appointed lawyer, is that against the law? Any help would be much appreciated God Bless, Marco Dejong

You should really hire an attorney, if you're able:
1. There could be a constitutional violation with respect to the search of your car.
2. Field testing for drugs is very unreliable, and from the sound of it, the officer had no idea what the substance was.
There could be other issues with the case an experienced attorney can leverage in an attempt to resolve the case in your favor.
Feel free to contact me if you have more specific questions.
