browniesA 19-year old teenager from Texas is facing anywhere between 5 years to life in prison for baking and selling pot brownies. Authorities arrested the teen on April 15 after a search of his apartment revealed six bags of cookies, nine bags of brownies, a pound of marijuana and $1675 in cash.

Although his criminal defense attorney claims the offense should be classified as a misdemeanor, Texas laws are harsher in its punishment of crimes involving THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. The reason for the tough penalty is due to the boy using hash oil in making the brownies. Hash oil is classified differently from marijuana as a “Penalty 2” controlled substance. This allows authorities to use the weight of the entire batch of brownies (including sugar, flour, etc.) as the weight of the drug sold.

On April 14, a woman was  admitted to a Pennsylvania hospital for treatment of a condition apparently unrelated to drugs. While she was in the intensive care unit, her multiple cell phones rang frequently, and she was visited by a large number of people, who would stay for only a few minutes. Many of the visitors who came to see her did not even know her last name.

When suspicion of her activities mounted, police were called. They set up an undercover informant to visit her room who was able to buy 30 bags of heroin from the woman. Police quickly moved in to make the arrest. In her hospital room, they found 380 bags of heroin with a street value of approximately $3800, along with $1420 in cash.

A Miami doctor, Armando Angulo was charged in federal court with selling prescription medicines online to Medicaid patients for over six years, costing the Medicaid program over $6.5 million in lost revenue. Authorities claim the unregulated sale of prescription medications online led to addiction and health risks for those using these drugs as well.

Angulo’s medical license was suspended during the criminal investigation, which turned out to be one of the largest in US history. The DEA amassed over two Terabytes of evidence against Angulo in its federal criminal case, which is equivalent to 625,000 copies of the novel “War and Peace.” Although a hard drive capable of storing all of this evidence can be purchased by the average consumer at a cost of only about $100, the DEA is dropping all charges against Angulo, citing excessive costs of maintaining this data on government servers.
