    The Cannabis laws in Texas are an absolute joke right now, I can walk 10 minutes to a local vape store and buy an ounce of “THC-a Hemp” that is completely indistinguishable from flower in a legal state. The only difference being that Texas is almost wholly unregulated, and The state is unable to collect extra tax revenue.

    The legislature has made this one of their highest priorities, and it’s probably going away. For now though, there’s a very good chance that whatever was in those Easter eggs is actually perfectly legal under Texan law.

      • Yep, plus IIRC Texas passed something, and several cities straight up passed legislation saying “we officially DGAF about weed”

        The last one, cities saying they will not enforce laws on pot under like 2oz, was struck down by Texan courts really recently and The legislature is probably going to close The THCA loophole.

        I love living in a state that is going full fash on the border while measles and whooping cough run rampant, and they defund public schools, but their highest priority is stopping me from enjoying a little reefer after a long day at work.

        Should we worry about hundreds of uncapped wells leaking methane into the air? Should we do something about the state having to pay Bitcoin miners so they don’t mine Bitcoin and crash our grid? Should we maybe start putting out PSAs about vaccination so that young children don’t die of preventable diseases like it’s the 17th century? No. Dan Patrick has decided that the greatest threat to my fellow citizens is someone getting stoned and watching classic Simpsons episodes.

          Absolutely. Imagine if they found out that the Simpsons had some predictions about a world that had gone so crazy that Donald Trump had been president.

          Yes, this is absolutely a LIB take but that’s exactly what I expect them to think
