Hey so long story short I want to know if this sounds like entrapment. Basically, this weekend we went to Coachella Music Festival and my girlfriend and I brought some joints and some pot brownies. On the second day of the festival we were approached by a lady asking us for a lighter. We said sure, gave her the lighter, she lit up her cigarette and proceded to talk to us. First she asked us if we could sell her weed and we said no. But she must of saw the brownies and turned her focus to those, asking if she could buy some brownies. We made a whole batch (too much for both us) and figured we could part with a handful. So my girlfriend sold her a handful for $5. At this point undercover cops come over and arrested her, charging her with two felonies (poss. of marijuana to sell and sale/transit of marijuana).

My question in this situation is...is this entrapment? Since we weren't advertising the brownies or drugs and weren't doing anything suspicious at the time.

Does anyone have any similiar stories? Of course my girlfriend (being 19) is freaking out about the potential of 2 felonies being on her record. However, I confident with a decent lawyer we can get this felonies knocked down to a misdameanor of poss.

Sounds really harsh. I guess your story is a reminder for everyone to be careful.

I don't have any advice but it sounds like you already know how to handle the situation (i.e. get a lawyer).

G'luck with everything

damn....all this for $5.00. Sorry to hear.

Well, you're supposed to ask anyone who approaches you if they are a cop. If they say no and they turn out to be a cop then that's entrapment. Either way, there's no way for them to have known they were pot brownies unless they asked. Otherwise you're gonna need a lawyer for this one.

Should have just gave her a few and 'Good Karma"" would have followed .. but due to the exchange of money you kinda cant get away from the "sale " charge . They have to test the brownies to see if they contain The active Ingr,(thc) If they dont test it dispute it .. Fight it out .. It was a music fest ... say SHE gave you the $5 for the lighter and you GAVE her the brownie,,..

um entrapment isnt a real thing. if you do any research on it at all you get BS stories about it. my guess is its propaganda from the popos to trick you into dealing with them. Trust me my buddy sold a bag to a cop, asked him if he was a cop and the guy said no. got arrested and went to court and tried to say that it was entrapment and the judge laughed at him.

wow.. fuck coachella.

How could they really prove they were pot brownies. You didn't tell them they had pot in them did you?
