When Jacob
Lavoro, a 19-year-old from Round Rock, Texas, learned that he could
go to prison for the rest of his life over a pound and a half of
cannabis-infused brownies and cookies, he was surprised. So were
his father, his lawyer, and, judging from the plentiful press
coverage, many other people. How could baked goods that are legally
sold in Colorado (and soon in Washington) trigger a
sentence of 10 years to life in Texas? The answer, says Jacob
Sullum, mixes two kinds of prohibitionist idiocy.
