The incident occurred during a traffic stop when a police officer noticed a THC vape pen on Kendra's lap while she was seated in the passenger seat. Although marijuana is illegal in Texas, Kendra was released on a $1,000 bond following her arrest.
At 29, Kendra lives in Nevada, where cannabis laws are much more lenient. Adults over 21 can legally possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis in private or licensed lounges. However, her experience in Texas highlights the stark differences in state laws regarding marijuana. For Kendra, this situation serves as a lesson on navigating these varying regulations across the country.
