    I’m curious where this is. They won’t even arrest you solely on possession in most of Texas anymore. Now it’s mostly used as an add-on to other charges to make the plea bargain less favorable.

      I honestly have no idea but I kinda get the vibe that it might be a few decades old, i.e. from a time before marijuana laws started to become more relaxed.

      It’s called colored tax. I have 15 going over 10 km tickets. They’re bulshit charges that are brought up when “they feel like it”.
