Related: About this forumFiona Apple facing up to 10 years in jail over Texas marijuana bust
Apple was arrested Wednesday at a west Texas narcotics checkpoint near the Mexican border. Hudspeth County, where she was stopped, is notorious for busting celebrities on their way through Texas from California. Other high-profile busts in Hudspeth include rapper Snoop Dogg, country singer Willie Nelson and hacker George Hotz.
The state is one of a handful thats implemented more severe penalties for people caught with what the law calls resinous extractives of Cannabis, which it categorizes similarly to synthetic substances that mimic the effects of marijuana, like Spice and K2. Most states treat hashish similarly to marijuana and impose identical penalties for minor possession.
