friend of mine has a kid in college in wyoming. they have been visiting often, via colo.
on their way home the other day they hit a deer. the cop smelled weed, searched the car, and found 2 oz.
of course, they charged him w possession.

does anybody have experience w people charged w possession for legally purchased weed in another state? or wyoming in particular?
they looked over the laws, and the possible sentencing is $25k, and/or jail time.
at least they let him go on recognizance.

the kid did just graduate, so he is unlikely to spend much more time there.

he is also looking for a good local lawyer.

eta, he will get a lawyer. his wife works for one of chicago's more high powered law firms. specialty firm, tho. she is putting out feelers, but this might be a little niche where the right guy might be some small local dude, so asking for any referrals.
