In anticipation of the unofficial holiday for cannabis enthusiasts, 4/20, a day known for celebrating cannabis culture and advocacy for legalization, some celebrities have faced consequences for not being discreet with their habits while traveling through El Paso, Texas. The Sierra Blanca checkpoint on I-10 east, about an hour and a half east of El Paso, has gained a reputation for stopping individuals caught with marijuana.
Some famous faces have not fared well at this checkpoint, with their celebrity status not providing them any special treatment. From surprise highway stops to unforgettable mugshots, the borderlands of Texas have seen their fair share of celebrities getting caught with pot. While some names may be expected, others may come as a surprise to fans.
As 4/20 approaches, it is essential to remember that marijuana is still illegal in Texas, unlike in neighboring states like New Mexico. It is crucial to toke responsibly and abide by the laws of the state. Law enforcement officers, including police officers and Border Patrol agents, work diligently to catch drug smugglers attempting to bring illegal substances into the United States through Texas. Striking finds, including drugs hidden in unusual places, highlight the challenges these officers face in protecting the border. Kudos to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for their efforts in documenting these encounters.
