For your interest.
Soon, we will be like Colorado. Austin already is headed that way.
Look @ my thumb, Pubbies . . .
About time.
Wow! This is a big deal!
Nice to see the Texas GOP coming on board regarding this issue.
Cannabis should be legal to have, to use & to grow if you so chose, IMO.
Very disappointed that the Republican Party feels the need to do this. My daughter, who lives in Colorado, is being very vocal standing over my shoulder reading this. She is saying doesn’t anyone remember the opium wars during the late 1800’s where everyone was “off their rockers “ using drugs forcing the government to step in and vote for legislation to regulate drug usage? I worked in a hospital during the 70’s (ugh, no Emily 1970’s not 1870’s) and half the people in the lab would either come to work stoned or go out in the parking lot on their 9pm break and get stoned. Fortunately there were enough of us old people left to actually do the work. The administration never did anything to resolve the problem and looked the other way. So all I can say is they had better do random, mandatory drug testing in all hospital and medical centers if this becomes the law of the land.
Ding a ling our minds are dung.
Never believed I’d ever see the day that tobacco is more restricted than grass. The future will see young people burning out, starting with the gateway drug and moving on to bigger and better (more dangerous drugs).
Texas Republicans know that the people of Texas are responsible and do not need the Nanny State telling them what not to do.
Kind of hard to get worked up about this anymore. They can legalize it, and I still won’t use it.
Maybe if the left is stoned out of their minds all the time they won’t be as motivated to steal what remains of our rights. Then we’ll just be paying their public assistance, like we always have.
Good-I haven’t had a toke in many years-don’t plan to now, either-but the less Nanny crap the better-glad our Texas repubs are seeing that adults are responsible for what they choose to drink/smoke/whatever-not some Nanny state-maybe this will take a jab at the mafia/trafficantes, although they deal mostly in smuggling in cocaine and meth...
It is about freaking time.
“Acknowledging the inevitable end of prohibition.”
Correct.
The war on weed is LOST. Way past time to just admit it and move on.
This Texan is all for it. Prohibition of this natural plant has not worked, and medical science has found many beneficial uses for marijuana and hemp.
It’s time for decriminalization.
Marijuana is a strong drug, this change is backwards and destructive.
Michigan, a Trump state, is heading toward full legalization this November. Utah and Missouri, Trump states, are heading toward medical marijuana then as well.
Oklahoma, another Trump state, may pass medical mj June 26. It’s leading in the polls but the voting date may hurt turnout. See Forbes article =>
“State Marijuana Legalization Measures Headed For Passage, Polls Show”
______
And don’t forget that FL, yet another Trump state, passed medical mj 71%-29% in Nov 2016.
What the heck???? Are they freaking morons??? Did not anyone live through the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s and see the destruction that drugs brought??
