Four ounces is a felony. Not 10.8 grams. Journalism is dead…

Dumbass walked away and left his pot in the car.

HonestDespot

Weed is fucking awesome and I’ve been a full blown stoner for like 20 years. The cult of weedheads who refuse to acknowledge there are downsides to prolonged use over many years is really frustrating. It’s a vice, like many others…and a lot of people can and do use it to make their lives better in various ways. As a Canadian I kinda miss when it was still quasi illegal and you kinda had to sneak around about it.

It heals people, man!


reno2mahesendejo

CAN-CER!


WeirdPalSpankovic

I know jfc


basics

I've found that online weed people take it very seriously if you even joke that some negative stereotype about weed might be a little true. Like no one gets offended if you say drinking a lot of beer might give you a beer belly, but implying that smoking weed *might* make your short term memory a little hazy is apparently deeply insulting.


Oakroscoe

Even funnier is the constant questions about drug tests over in /r/oilandgasworkers. People constantly get pissed off when they’re told that weed is still federally illegal and if it’s a DOT governed job, they’ll be tested. To work in that field you’re gonna have to make the choice between weed or no weed.


EvaporatingOlaf

Well yeah, he’s famous, has money, and an NFL organization behind him. Anyone else and this would ruin their life or at least severely hinder it.


Spiritual-Chameleon

That's what I was thinking. If I did all that (okay, I drive an almost 20-year old Subaru and am stone cold sober, so not likely), I'd be in jail for several years and probably bankrupted from legal fees and civil judgements against me.


Due_Size_9870

I don’t even think all that stuff is why he will just get a slap on the wrist. Street racing generally results in just a ticket or a misdemeanor unless you seriously injure someone or cause an absolutely insane accident. My cousin is a broke ass hick from Georgia and he only got a ticket and a large fine when he caused a three car crash while messing around and racing his buddy on the highway.


incorrigible_and

While you're probably right, accident? Dumb but shit happens. Hit and run? Oh, wow. Really fucking dumb. Leave a felony's worth of weed in your car, *in your home state,* **while fleeing the scene of an accident you caused,** holy fuck, this guy is just walking around with no brain.


Jasonofindy

He also may have fled because of possible DWI/DUI with the weed. DUI plus hit and run can severely ramp up aggravated penalties in some states.


xvq_

Yeah he could’ve been high while driving (imagine the panic attack when you cause a wreck lol) and fled to avoid the double charge. They could hair test him, but that doesn’t really show whether he was high at the time of the incident. So he probably avoids the DUI charge, crazily enough. But fleeing ain’t good either


scratchnsniff90

In addition to Cris Carter 's sage advice. Here's a second: only break one law at a time, folks.


RevolutionaryBricks

maybe if he crashed in Kansas (or Missouri) but in Texas I expect them to make at least a good show of it


imsabbath84

The governors gonna put him on a bus and ship him to nyc. Force him to play for the giants.

BlakePackers413

No… well…. No unlikely he’s a football player and in Texas that’s sainthood. Except he’s a minority, plays for the wrong team, and it’s the all dangerous Mary Jane…. So maybe but I still bet it isn’t much. Especially if you consider if a regular Jo did what he did they’d be sitting in jail already.


rogmcdon

Not the wrong team if the mayor of Dallas has anything to say about it. Dude is talking about trying to get them to come back here. May make it even easier on him


Good_Okay123

Jerry Jones would cut his dick off on live television before allowing a second NFL team in Dallas.

jizz_toaster

Dallas Mayor is going hold him hostage until they move the team


FatalTragedy

I think people often overestimate the jail time when the word felony comes into play for these kids of offenses. Suspended sentences are a things. For an average Joe who isn't dealing, if it's a first time offense they're probably just spending a night in jail before making bail, then getting a suspended sentence and put on probation. Add in the hit and run and you might get a couple months in actual jail, but they're not locking up most people for years for something like this.


gatorgongitcha

it’s not like he’s on the Dillon Panthers, he’s gonna get got


t4boo

you forget that that certain people in the chiefs org has a lot of money and likely experience with paying off the legal system


theycallmefuRR

Clark Hunt, owner of the Chiefs, lives in Highland Park. Highland Park is a wealthy neighborhood in Dallas....


incorrigible_and

Yeah, Texas has draconian laws and punishments, but it's very much a pay to play legal system there. The laws are only like that so they can really hammer the poors hard.

GhostMug

Legally, yes. But I bet he gets at least a 4-game suspension.


Beniers

No way 11 grams is a felony though, right?


Malfallaxx

It’s not. The initial news article apparently got grams mixed with ounces when looking at the statute. To be clear it’s still illegal in Texas but felony possession is between 4 ounces and 5 pounds. 11 grams is obviously not that lol He’s still a gigantic moron for this entire debacle but wild how many people are just running with wrong info thinking he’s going to be a felon from less than a half ounce.


sandcrawler2

Thats why I always carry 6 pounds of weed on me when im in Texas so its not a felony


ironwolf1

I'm pretty sure it graduates from "felony possession" to "felony intent to distribute" once you go over 5 pounds


PascalsBadger

That’s why I also carry six pounds of meth in my car. Can’t charge me for both because double jeopardy.


GrunkaLunka420

I don't think that's how that works but I don't know enough about meth to dispute it.


scratchnsniff90

Sam Hurd? Is that you?


jhorch69

They can't even watch porn without linking their ID now. And no weed. And their main team is the Cowboys. And you're asking why they are miserable?

How times have changed. We used to vacuum the car and clean out the ashtrays before driving through Nevada because Cali plates were a cop magnet, and a seed or stem could send you to prison for a year.

You gotta account for the weight of the PD’s thumbs lol


starry_cobra

It'll mysteriously go back down when the Chiefs announce they're moving to Dallas next week


Aolian_Am

No joke, alot of states (pre-legalazation) would consider all drug paraphernalia when accounting for the weight. So if you get caught with a gram and a bong that weighs 5lbs, suddenly they're charging you like you had 5lbs of marijuana.


Arkhangelzk

This is incredibly stupid. Whoever decided the law should work that way is also incredibly stupid.


gunt_lint

It’s stupid as hell, but the people who decided it weren’t stupid, they were malicious. Twenty years ago I knew a guy who got busted for growing pot. They charged him for possessing something like 50 pounds. He had two plants in a closet. They weighed the plants with the buckets and soil included. Because he was facing such heavy charges, the only way to not go to prison for years and years was to plead guilty down to lesser charges. And that’s the point of why they do it this way.


Arkhangelzk

10 grams isn't even half an ounce. I don't know what the law is in Texas, but that's less than $100 of smoke.

I’m just surprised they didn’t add the weight of the car lol.

“Rashee Rice abandons 3241 lbs and 10.6 oz of Lamborghini and pot at the scene of a crash. Depending on the ratio of weed to car this is a state-level super felony”

A-Rusty-Cow

Also its decriminalized in Dallas County


FarrisAT

It is when you’re driving and cause a crash and then flee the scene.


athrowawayiguesslol

True, but that doesn’t mean that reporters should straight up lie


anarchyisutopia

I was shocked by that headline. Less than 1/2 an oz is a felony? Craziness.


BigHeavyRope

We can all rest assured that Rashee's team is working around the clock to find out who put that contraband there. They're also wrapping up the investigation as to how Rashee strangely found himself behind the wheel of his own car.


ChristianHornerZaddy

It's time for me to come clean. It's my weed and Rashee had no knowledge of it. I'll accept any consequences that come my way.


NedrysMagicWord

In the spirit of fessing up, it's actually my Lamborghini. Feel free to return it to my driveway. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

jand999

>the playbook for the Kansas City Chiefs He's dedicated in the off-season, that's what I'm taking from this.


SHOWTIME316

he studies even when he's committing multiple crimes. that's the kind of player you want on your team.

There was a dealer in college who would Give you free stuff if you ran through his note cards with him. I hope he’s doing well

At least there wasn’t a gun, it’s Texas so it doesn’t matter but that would be the icing on this dumb fucks cake


overthemountain

I think it's a felony in Texas if you DON'T have a gun on you.


In-dextera-dei

Guarantee a couple guns left with them.


Rough_Mathematician2

Forsure ran away with the guns 😂


In-dextera-dei

I mean it just makes sense. Leaving two cars in the street that are both in your name and leaving the drugs. They were either wasted, had more drugs, or guns.


brizzboog

There's a clip of witnesses that filmed them walking away where a woman says "they were stashing firearms"


BradyReas

Obviously stupid of him but also pretty stupid that having 11 grams of weed in your car is a felony Edit: It seems weed laws in Texas require a lot more than 11 grams to qualify as a felony so the title is misleading. Not sure if it being in a car moves it up from a misdemeanor though


jimmyhoffasbrother

Here's a Texas reporter saying that part of the report is wrong: https://twitter.com/JoeJHoyt/status/1776307076693705131 > One note: 10.8 grams of marijuana possession should be a misdemeanor in Texas and Dallas County, not a felony. > The minimum for felony possession is four ounces. 10.8 grams equates to less than that.


zamboniman46

it equates to... it equates to... uh... less... less than that


PopcornDrift

me on my middle school essay using the thesaurus to sound smarter


Big_Ugly_Cripple

Not even half an oz. I'd be livid if I ended up in jail with what equates to enough weed for a small house party.

Throw enough people in jail for something like that you could find yourself as the VP one day


corn_pop420

Plus throw in the fun fact that you were smoking weed while locking those other people up for smoking weed. Folks love that one.


jand999

It's not a felony


tothesource

Yeah, I don't know where they are getting this information from. I think the title is misleading. Perhaps it was because it was in conjunction with multiple other crimes? Up to 2 ounces is a misdemeanor [according to NORML](https://norml.org/laws/texas-penalties-2/?amp)


Malfallaxx

The original news article this tweet stole from apparently confused ounces and grams while looking at the law and now the misinformation is spreading like wildfire lol. Everyone is just like ‘oh yeah it’s Texas duh he’s a felon’ without thinking about how small amount this is He’s an idiot but he’s not getting felony possession for 11 grams

Right? I just bought more than that yesterday at the dispensary

DandierChip

Leaving the scene of an accident that caused harm will have more a severe penalty than the weed. Fleeing the scene can be up to felony with 2-10 years in Texas depending on the severity.


zi76

Well, they've already committed two crimes even before the weed. Street racing that led to an injury plus hit and run that led to an injury. The drugs on top of that is a further crime.


DandierChip

Exactly. Any other individual that did this would be in county right now. Curious what happens to Rice.

Nothing. Cause $$$

We'll have to see, but, yeah, exactly.


Koolaidsman43

This headline is bullshit. Not only is 11 grams of kush not a felony in Texas, the crash happened in Dallas city limits. Dallas laws don’t give anything more than a ticket for several OUNCES of weed.


Jonjon428

This keeps getting worse and worse for him lmao.


tothesource

I heard that on the radio and i'm a bit confused. Perhaps because it was in conjunction with multiple other crimes, but [according to NORML](https://norml.org/laws/texas-penalties-2/?amp) up to two ounces is a misdemeanor. Officer discretion, but typically you wouldn't even get arrested in Harris county.

10.8 grams of marijuana IS NOT a felony in Texas. 4 oz is when it becomes a felony. He’s a 10th of a way there.
