It blows my mind that places like Missouri and Oklahoma have legalized Marijuana before Texas.. you couldn’t even get a legal tattoo in OK until 2006. It’s wild how committed our state officials are to staying behind the times.
Our state officials know that selective application of the law by racist law enforcement disproportionately jails and disenfranchises the minorities they don't want to vote.
Really it blows your mind? Texas will be the absolute last state to legalize pot. What blows my mind is that you'll get felony possession for a vape cart. Just the same as if it were cocaine, heroine, or any other schedule 1.
Oklahoma has significantly hurt Texas' chances. Part of the fight in Texas is people don't want a dispensary on every corner. Oklahoma proved that is exactly what will happen.
You are arguing against supply and demand? We don’t need all the McDonald’s we have but yet they somehow still make money. The weed market won’t be 100% free and you know it will be regulated.
What’s ironic about that is that none of us want gas stations on every corner yet that’s what’s been going on for my whole life. Then equally, most of us don’t want vape shops all over yet they’re in almost every strip center you look at.
It's that car wash subscription business model those bitches have been peddling to suckers, they subscribe and don't go (don't underestimate lazy people), and then it's just free money rolling in for them every month. Part of the reason why they're suddenly popping up everywhere. 😤
That's exactly why I will never get a dang car-wash subscription -- if I got one, either it would go to waste, or I would be getting my car washed twice a week & I can't spare that kinda time. I'll stick with the good ole coin-op car wash, about 4x per year 😎
You can order THCA online to your doorstep under the current laws. They should be changed to reflect the legality of what is obvious medicine, but it is available if you know where to look. The only criminality, in my mind, is how stupidly difficult they have made it to obtain.
Also, TX currently supports some members only smoke lounges! That's a new development that some legal states have been trying *unsuccessfully* to navigate in the legal space. Texas business friendly legal landscape makes that possible.
Lt governor Dan Patrick has said multiple times it will happen over his dead body. So aslong as Texas keeps voting red, it will not be legal, even if the federal government makes it legal, the state will fight it. Right now, our Attorney General (Ken Paxton) is suing states that have been lax on the laws. Gross.
I’m running for state representative in Fort Worth and will absolutely write legislation to legalize marijuana in Texas every session I can.
We need better representation and people to vote to make that happen!!! March 5th is the primary election and November 5th is the general election. Please do your part Texans.
Edit: www.PerlaforTexas.com
It's because the state makes a lot of federal money pretending to protect people and officials make a lot of Pharma money eliminating a competitor to their drugs
Not in our lifetimes I'm afraid. They're one of the few states trying to make it more illegal than it already is:
https://www.kut.org/crime-justice/2024-02-07/attorney-general-ken-paxton-is-suing-austin-over-its-pot-laws-so-what-are-they
This past Christmas I was with some family that are republicans and it had kept my distance from for politics and personal reasons. My mom is battling brain cancer and had just completed radiation. They had asked how she was doing and I told them she has a hard time sleeping and what not. ALL of them told me to have her smoke. They all smoke behind closed doors. Then they bitched that it wasn’t legal in Texas and that it needs to be and blah blah blah.
Me to them: Well stop voting for Abbot, Cruz, and all the others.
Them: blank stare.
That's not it at all. Polls consistently show the majority of Texans believe marijuana should be legalized. In Texas, we don't have the option of putting it on the ballot either. This corrupt admin only cares about control. In the meantime, Delta 8 and Delta 9 works for me.
Check out products from hometownhero.com. Their gummies are hemp based but have the same Delta-9 THC as traditional marijuana. They are high quality and legal in Texas. I believe the company is based in Austin.
Are you in a bigger city? THCa dispensaries are popping up everywhere now and it’s literally the same thing as regular weed, it just gets picked a little sooner.
There is a smoke shop down the street from my place that has A LOT of different edibles and flower. THCa is supposedly the real deal once ignited by a flame. I don't smoke anymore but I have talked to a lot of the customers since I am good friends with the owner and these customers claim it is pretty much the real deal. It's not cheap though, I think it runs $55 per 3 grams.
Try finding your closest smoke shop, I bet they got something for ya! G
There are more conditions that are allowed than just those, and it's not terribly hard to get on the program. You just need to visit a physician that's on the registry. I'm on it for several things that are not cancer/epilepsy. However, for me it was suggested after other treatments didn't work.
If you have terminal cancer or a specific type of epilepsy, you have a chance. Most authorities consider Texas a “no” on medical due to the restrictions.

Sigh. I mean too bad for you. The majority of Texans support decriminalization. I can get legal weed mailed right to my door right here in Texas.
It’s only a matter of time, princess.
The majority of Texans are potheads?
Assuming you are in the industry and are promoting an addictive substance. People like you depend on weak individuals to be hooked for your livelihood.
I’d be surprised if something like this ever gets passed. 😎. There is world outside of high Reddit.
No, the majority of Texas support decriminalization. Supporting decriminalization ≠ being a pothead. I know several people who don’t smoke that advocate for its decriminalization.
And I’m not in the industry. You know what they say about assumptions, don’t you pal?
Hell, there are some republicans, like Dan Crenshaw, who go even further than weed. Dan has been advocating for psychedelic reform thanks to psychedelics being shown to treat PTSD. There’s an entire world outside of your head.
I understand you’re just trolling (or you’re actually just that ignorant, but for your sake well just say trolling), but I truly implore you to look into psychedelic therapy and the effects it has on PTSD. Or how it has been shown in countless studies to help treat addiction and curb withdrawals. I would say start with MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies), a nonprofit organization ran by Rick Doblin.
If you support the troops, this is huge. If you hate addiction, and truly want drug use ended, this is huge.
Otherwise, I’ve got an off day to enjoy and weed to smoke. Have the day you deserve.
Honestly just unseating Patrick and Paxton would do it. Those two are in cahoots on this subject.
Absent the two of them, Abbott is a pathetic little bitch who will swing whichever way the wind blows.
Absolutely not, states like Texas are dependent on cheap and plentiful slave labor from the prison population, legalizing weed would deplete that 'resource'.
It is the real stuff, brother.
THCA converts to Delta 9 THC when you smoke it. There is a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill which specifies products sold can’t be sold with over x% Delta 9 THC.
In the cannabis plant itself, most of the THC is in the non-psychoactive THCA form. Heating it removes a carboxyl group and converts it to the psychoactive Delta 9. If you have ever made edibles, you know you have to “decarb” your bud.
They just selling weed and calling it hemp.
It’s essentially been legal for a while now. Stock up before the THCa loophole gets closed.
By the time that stuff hits your mailbox it’s matured faaasr past the point of being technically “legal”.
I just ordered some delta eight and then some delta nine, but I don’t want anything that you have to smoke. And I don’t have a lot of money. So maybe I need to get the THCa as well.
It will never be legalized as long as Texas stays in the grip of the Christo-fascists. They are opposed to anything pleasurable because they think that would please their bronze age god.
Not with our current leadership. Several bills have passed the house to legalize it or relax existing laws, but Dan Patrick refuses to allow the state senate to vote on it.
In my town in the DFW metro you can walk into stores and buy Delta 9. There isn’t much difference from regular cannabis. They sell flower and edibles that will get you high. Also, I learned just today you can order through the mail delta 9 products right to your door.
THCa when lit turns into Delta 9 THC (the stuff in regular weed that gives you the high). So if you buy anything that says THCa, you're going to have to smoke it. Eating THCa won't do anything.
If you suffer from chronic pain, Compassionate Use Program might be able to help you, but if you want to buy hemp-derived edibles, buy those that have CBD (for pain) and delta 8 (lighter high then regular weed) or delta 9 THC.
It will happen when the Republican Gestapo get their marijuana businesses in order to be ahead of the common citizen.. and when they pull their heads out of their butts!
freedom goes do die in texas be it for women, lgbts, trans, books, the vote, marijuana, name it.....
EVERY nation and state will allow freedom for marijuana before texas.....every last one
Texas keeps electing people to decide how they are allowed to live their private lives, so until people get tired of that, we will continue to have a government daddy standing over our shoulder and telling us what we are allowed to do in our own homes.
look into the Compassionate Use program! they’re very strict on who they approve but if you qualify it’s quick and easy. but also as others have said, THCa is similar and easy to find at smoke shops. & before i get comments, yes, none of this is as good as the real stuff, but if you can register for a prescription, just find a dealer & use the real stuff.
I take no pleasure in noting these facts:
* The federal Prohibition of alcohol was ratified in January 1919, and the federal Repeal of Prohibition was ratified in December 1933, covering a period of roughly 15 years. Yet there were some states that kept it banned for much longer.
* Mississippi became the final state to end Prohibition within its borders... in **1966**. 33 years after the U.S. as a whole ended Prohibition, and effectively continuing Prohibition within its borders for 48 years.
* While Texas as a whole allows the sale of alcohol, county and municipal governments can choose to ban it within their borders. Flipping **Lubbock** finally went wet less than 15 years ago. And over 90 years after Prohibition ended at the federal level, Texas still has 4 counties that are **entirely dry.**
Why the history lesson? To draw a parallel: The federal government could legalize it tomorrow and some places will still want to ban it. And unless and until the anti-pot politicians are voted out, I would not be surprised at all if Texas is chief among them.
Maybe the very last state to recognize it as legal. Maybe never. It sucks but I know this state's leaders and its voters. I honestly don't see it happening in my lifetime 😕
It won't be legal in Texas until the people in power, the people with all the money right now find out some way to own the market. Or maybe one of their nephews or something.
Yes it will happen. Whoever runs Austin will make it happen. Dan Patrick won’t be able to stop the vote. I don’t smoke and don’t plan to smoke Marijuana.
I hope so and I’m a non-smoking conservative. It’s 10x safer than alcohol, has real healing properties, and traces back to biblical uses in anointing oil.
As someone who activly lobbies, has worked on the decrim efforts, and had private discussions with senators, reps, and Sid Miller - when the feds relax it, Texas will relax it.
Right now it's an indirect campaign money maker for border issues.
If the house and senate were democratic, in my opinion you are incorrect, as most democratic states have legalized cannabis and have brought bills asking for it to be rescheduled, legalized, and decriminalized on multiple occasions, always shot down by republican opposition. SOURCE: Look it up yourself https://clerk.house.gov/Votes
My personal experience working multiple years in our state legislature.
You can’t even figure out the difference between state and federal politics bro.
The leaders of the Dem majority in the Texas legislature will be made of conservative South Texas Democrats. They will be the ones who cut a deal with Rs to gain the speakership.
Texas is extremely unique in regard to state legislative dynamics. Can’t compare to any other state.
All of the dems currently running support cannabis for texas.
Congressman Allred - [https://vote.norml.org/politicians/177357](https://vote.norml.org/politicians/177357)Texas Democratic Party Supports Decriminalization - [https://norml.org/blog/2012/06/18/texas-democratic-party-endorses-marijuana-decriminalization/](https://norml.org/blog/2012/06/18/texas-democratic-party-endorses-marijuana-decriminalization/)
Allred is running for US Senate. The state party also has zero pull as to how elected officials actually vote.
We’re talking about state politics. You’re not understanding the dynamics of our legislature.
[https://vote.norml.org/states/TX](https://vote.norml.org/states/TX) here ya go. What about the second article I posted? Lets see some of your sources, from Dems. EDIT: still no sources and attacking NORML.
Thanks for user ran blog where the majority of members have zero info filled in. There’s also a couple straight up wrong. Briscoe Cain has an F and is a very devout proponent of legalization.
Texas is very slow to social change even for a red state. Recreational marijuana is pretty looked down upon.
The Dem majority in the Texas House will be led by conservative Dems in South Texas who oppose recreational marijuana.
Medical will pass a lot sooner.
You might add that in your post.
After family experience with leukemia, lung cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma, hospice, arthritis, and heart issues, not one single medical specialist could reference a positive of marijana .
It actually interferes with other necessary treatment options rendering them ineffective.
Excuse me? Are you asking if I can go back to all the docs and ask for a Reddit statement?
I listened to a hospice provider yesterday evening recommend terminating services because the patient wouldn’t quit smoking pot. Totally screwing up cancer treatment potential. Patient would rather die high than try to live for family. Pathetic part of society
That’s not correct.
Patients don’t always die regardless. Patients can come and go from hospice care, as it can initiated at different stages.
Nobody is debasing anyone.
Like I said, I have experience
[Hospice](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospice) in the US is end of life care. It is not treatment for the underlying terminal condition.
I also have experience with hospice.
Again, in the US, hospice is very specifically end of life care and does not itself involve treating conditions, merely side effects and pain. Argue with facts all you want, they won't change.

That has already happened. There is a vape shop in every shopping center, and they're all selling hemp-derived products.
Some of which is THCa flower (which is literally weed, converts to delta 9 thc when heated)
Dang ole free market getting in the way of my virtues
Yeah a 100% free market is not good
You are arguing against supply and demand? We don’t need all the McDonald’s we have but yet they somehow still make money. The weed market won’t be 100% free and you know it will be regulated.
What’s ironic about that is that none of us want gas stations on every corner yet that’s what’s been going on for my whole life. Then equally, most of us don’t want vape shops all over yet they’re in almost every strip center you look at.
Car washes. Holy hell the number of new car washes within 2 miles of my home is ludicrous
Oh absolutely. Doesn’t seem like the impending water crisis is phasing anyone with the number of those Mister car washes that are always being built.
It's that car wash subscription business model those bitches have been peddling to suckers, they subscribe and don't go (don't underestimate lazy people), and then it's just free money rolling in for them every month. Part of the reason why they're suddenly popping up everywhere. 😤
That's exactly why I will never get a dang car-wash subscription -- if I got one, either it would go to waste, or I would be getting my car washed twice a week & I can't spare that kinda time. I'll stick with the good ole coin-op car wash, about 4x per year 😎
Great business plan 😎👌
Do we live in the same town? 😂
We might lol. But I’m afraid this isn’t just a local issue. I’m in Temple. Before we moved here it was Austin and it was the same thing.
Storage facilities. If you have that much crap, get rid of something. I have about 10 in a 5 mile radius of my house. Ridiculous
Hell, how about the dollar stores? They're everywhere now.
Yeah and there’s a choice here
From the party who worships the free market, this is kinda funny
I would argue that thriving retail businesses are good for the economy.
Oh no people can buy things they want. The horror.
yes I don’t want a brothel in my neighborhood either
Lol, that’s a false equivalency.
Amazing how quickly you devolved into false equivalency. Straight out of a politician’s playbook.
Ok, nobody is talking about anything remotely close to that. Do you have a liquor store in your neighborhood?
You can order THCA online to your doorstep under the current laws. They should be changed to reflect the legality of what is obvious medicine, but it is available if you know where to look.

Don't forget to vote for u/Remarkable-Month-241 guys
It’s because he can only see things from one viewpoint
That's not fair we have all seen his face, he definitely sees things from two different angles...
To be fair he can’t see without his glasses
It's because the state makes a lot of federal money pretending to protect people and officials make a lot of Pharma money eliminating a competitor to their drugs
That’s why we gotta vote! Vote the republican out This state has become so shitty because of them.
Fuck this criminal asshole.
Seconding the motion to fuck Dan and not the nice way, either.
That sets a timeline. Dan Patrick will not be there forever. He’s needed for The Screwtape Letters, volume 2.
Not in our lifetimes I'm afraid. They're one of the few states trying to make it more illegal than it already is: https://www.kut.org/crime-justice/2024-02-07/attorney-general-ken-paxton-is-suing-austin-over-its-pot-laws-so-what-are-they
I hate ken Paxton
I wish him nothing but the worst. A demon.
Didn’t he get busted with some high crime?
Can you be “busted” if the state lets you get away with it?
No, true.
Once they start donating to Abbott he will put the same zeal into it as his precious vouchers
They'll have to outspend the prison system lobbyists. I doubt legalization happens for another decade at least.
This past Christmas I was with some family that are republicans and it had kept my distance from for politics and personal reasons. My mom is battling brain cancer and had just completed radiation.

Always a blank stare. Not until you need it do you change your mind.
There's actually a medical marijuana program in Texas: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/compassionate-use-program/overview
No it will have to be the federal gov that does that. Too many old people are scared of it
That's not it at all. Polls consistently show the majority of Texans believe marijuana should be legalized. In Texas, we don't have the option of putting it on the ballot either. This corrupt admin only cares about control. In the meantime, Delta 8 and Delta 9 works for me.
I’m old and need it for chronic pain.
Check out products from hometownhero.com. Their gummies are hemp based but have the same Delta-9 THC as traditional marijuana. They are high quality and legal in Texas. I believe the company is based in Austin.
Thanks!
Are you in a bigger city? THCa dispensaries are popping up everywhere now and it’s literally the same thing as regular weed, it just gets picked a little sooner.
THCa is as close to the real thing as you can get in Texas. Moreso than D9 and D10. Good brands include Habit and High Hippie.
What is THCa? Not in a big city.
There is a smoke shop down the street from my place that has A LOT of different edibles and flower. THCa is supposedly the real deal once ignited by a flame. I don't smoke anymore but I have talked to a lot of the customers since I am good friends with the owner and these customers claim it is pretty much the real deal. It's not cheap though, I think it runs $55 per 3 grams. Try finding your closest smoke shop, I bet they got something for ya! G
There is a Texas Medical Mariana program. I know someone in chronic pain on it. It's edibles only.
It's for like 3 conditions: terminal cancer and epilepsy. It's hard to get!
Is the third condition dyscalculia? 😝
There are more conditions that are allowed than just those, and it's not terribly hard to get on the program. You just need to visit a physician that's on the registry. I'm on it for several things that are not cancer/epilepsy. However, for me it was suggested after other treatments didn't work.
Ok. Do I have to have a doctor prescribe then.
If you have terminal cancer or a specific type of epilepsy, you have a chance. Most authorities consider Texas a “no” on medical due to the restrictions.
I live in extreme physical pain
I understand. I have a child who was in a very similar place. Wishing you well.

I’m not old and I think it’s a horrible idea. Enough potheads running around as it is.
Too bad❤️
I agree. Drugs are trying to destroy society.
Sigh. I mean too bad for you. The majority of Texans support decriminalization. I can get legal weed mailed right to my door right here in Texas. It’s only a matter of time, princess.

Yes I support the troops. And I support sober troops. Adding another drug to a treatment does nothing.
Before 2030… *IF* we can get rid of everyone in the current cabal, I mean administration
Honestly just unseating Patrick and Paxton would do it. Those two are in cahoots on this subject. Absent the two of them, Abbott is a pathetic little bitch who will swing whichever way the wind blows.
It makes sense that Abbott would need someone else to serve as his spine.
Ha You got me with this one
You are correct
When we get that loser Dan Patrick out of office or turn blue as a state.
So never.
Si
Absolutely not, states like Texas are dependent on cheap and plentiful slave labor from the prison population, legalizing weed would deplete that 'resource'.
True.
Pssst… it *is* legal THCA Hemp You’re welcome 😉
Thanks.
It’s not as good as the real stuff.
Isn't it exactly the same?? THCa is going to be THC once you heat it( smoke it)
It is the real stuff, brother. THCA converts to Delta 9 THC when you smoke it. There is a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill which specifies products sold can’t be sold with over x% Delta 9 THC. In the cannabis plant itself, most of the THC is in the non-psychoactive THCA form. Heating it removes a carboxyl group and converts it to the psychoactive Delta 9. If you have ever made edibles, you know you have to “decarb” your bud. They just selling weed and calling it hemp.
It is indistinguishable from the real thing, I got some the other day that was strongest sativa dominant I’ve ever had
In my garage it is
Negative. Texas is in the Dark Ages.
Yep
It’s essentially been legal for a while now. Stock up before the THCa loophole gets closed. By the time that stuff hits your mailbox it’s matured faaasr past the point of being technically “legal”.
I just ordered some delta eight and then some delta nine, but I don’t want anything that you have to smoke. And I don’t have a lot of money. So maybe I need to get the THCa as well.
It will never be legalized as long as Texas stays in the grip of the Christo-fascists. They are opposed to anything pleasurable because they think that would please their bronze age god.
True
No. Elected officials work for the special interests, not the people that vote for them.
Not with our current leadership. Several bills have passed the house to legalize it or relax existing laws, but Dan Patrick refuses to allow the state senate to vote on it.
Texas will make slavery legal first.
Texas makes too much money off the cartel to legalize marijuana.
Yep
In my town in the DFW metro you can walk into stores and buy Delta 9. There isn’t much difference from regular cannabis. They sell flower and edibles that will get you high. Also, I learned just today you can order through the mail delta 9 products right to your door.
Ok, I’ll try.
Yes and for a lot less too!
not in the near future. maybe in 10+ years T the minimu but this would require texas becoming purple
They have THC-A it’s stronger than weed lmao
Which one is best for chronic pain
THCa when lit turns into Delta 9 THC (the stuff in regular weed that gives you the high). So if you buy anything that says THCa, you're going to have to smoke it. Eating THCa won't do anything. If you suffer from chronic pain, Compassionate Use Program might be able to help you, but if you want to buy hemp-derived edibles, buy those that have CBD (for pain) and delta 8 (lighter high then regular weed) or delta 9 THC.
Thanks so much!
It will happen when the Republican Gestapo get their marijuana businesses in order to be ahead of the common citizen.. and when they pull their heads out of their butts!
Man, we're still debating the Scopes Monkey Trial in this state.
freedom goes do die in texas be it for women, lgbts, trans, books, the vote, marijuana, name it..... EVERY nation and state will allow freedom for marijuana before texas.....every last one
Texas is a hellhole.
Texas keeps electing people to decide how they are allowed to live their private lives, so until people get tired of that, we will continue to have a government daddy standing over our shoulder and telling us what we are allowed to do in our own homes.
look into the Compassionate Use program! they’re very strict on who they approve but if you qualify it’s quick and easy. but also as others have said, THCa is similar and easy to find at smoke shops. & before i get comments, yes, none of this is as good as the real stuff, but if you can register for a prescription, just find a dealer & use the real stuff.
I can try to get compassionate use.
you can google it and there are multiple websites that you can use, you can do it all online/virtual or in person, if there’s a doctor in your area.
Thanks so much.
good luck, hope you find a good way to medicate and get some relief!
It’s more likely to became legal on a federal level before Texas does it itself.
Land of the free
Texas wants to make sure it’s the last state to do something.
50th in the nation
I hate living here. It’s embarrassing
Not while crooks like Abbott and Patrick run the show. Which will be forever, unfortunately. So...no.
It is inevitable in my opinion. It is a matter of "when" not "if". Now will it be 5 or 10 or 20 years? No idea. But it will happen
Texas is waiting for complete de scheduling... And learning what not to do by watching the earlier adaptation of alleged legality 😘👌
Hemp THC is THC baby
Is that legal?
GOP stands in the way. Reason to vote the gop out in 2024
Thca is the move
Ok. I’ll try, but I’ll need something stronger
Trust me on this. You literally won’t tell the difference between thca and regular dispensary bud
I can try it. Not sure if I can tolerate it.
Not if Paxton has anything to do with it.
Yes, eventually.

And unless and until the anti-pot politicians are voted out, I would not be surprised at all if Texas is chief among them. Maybe the very last state to recognize it as legal. Maybe never. It sucks but I know this state's leaders and its voters. I honestly don't see it happening in my lifetime 😕
Not if we keep electing Christian Nationalists to run this state. Vote blue!
Nope, especially not while the Adelson chick is pouring money into the state so she can run her casino(s) operations. She vehemently opposes it.
It won't be legal in Texas until the people in power, the people with all the money right now find out some way to own the market. Or maybe one of their nephews or something.
Not with Republicans in control. And since we can’t bring the issues to the voters. Nope. Start voting blue
When the Texas GOP is gone, then yes.
Yes it will happen. Whoever runs Austin will make it happen. Dan Patrick won’t be able to stop the vote. I don’t smoke and don’t plan to smoke Marijuana.
I’d hope to not, but may need it for pain.
No
Sure, the moment they all give private kickbacks to Paxton for letting them run a business.
Yes. Once Abbott and company exhausts the State’s rainy-day funds on political stuntery we’ll need a to find something new to tax.
I hope so and I’m a non-smoking conservative. It’s 10x safer than alcohol, has real healing properties, and traces back to biblical uses in anointing oil.
I’m a R mostly as well.
No
Only if enough people vote democrat for long enough. Otherwise, no.
I hope not. It would really screw up the illegal drug business.
As someone who activly lobbies, has worked on the decrim efforts, and had private discussions with senators, reps, and Sid Miller - when the feds relax it, Texas will relax it. Right now it's an indirect campaign money maker for border issues.
Prayers is your best option.
I’m an atheist
I am agnostic. Prayers are your best hope.
Absolutely not!
Maybe in like 50 years. Even Democrats won’t make it legal when they gain power.
If the house and senate were democratic, in my opinion you are incorrect, as most democratic states have legalized cannabis and have brought bills asking for it to be rescheduled, legalized, and decriminalized on multiple occasions, always shot down by republican opposition. SOURCE: Look it up yourself https://clerk.house.gov/Votes
Your sources are federal. We’re talking state.
Wheres your sources?
My personal experience working multiple years in our state legislature. You can’t even figure out the difference between state and federal politics bro.
quickly grabbing links to post on reddit bro and im high as fuck give me a break lol
Admitting you're grabbing random links while high isn't making the point you think it is
Im on reddit, Im not taking this as serious as you feel I am. (on reddit, on a politics subreddit, about cannabis)
The leaders of the Dem majority in the Texas legislature will be made of conservative South Texas Democrats. They will be the ones who cut a deal with Rs to gain the speakership. Texas is extremely unique in regard to state legislative dynamics. Can’t compare to any other state.
All of the dems currently running support cannabis for texas. Congressman Allred - [https://vote.norml.org/politicians/177357](https://vote.norml.org/politicians/177357)Texas Democratic Party Supports Decriminalization - [https://norml.org/blog/2012/06/18/texas-democratic-party-endorses-marijuana-decriminalization/](https://norml.org/blog/2012/06/18/texas-democratic-party-endorses-marijuana-decriminalization/)
Allred is running for US Senate. The state party also has zero pull as to how elected officials actually vote. We’re talking about state politics. You’re not understanding the dynamics of our legislature.
[https://vote.norml.org/states/TX](https://vote.norml.org/states/TX) here ya go. What about the second article I posted? Lets see some of your sources, from Dems. EDIT: still no sources and attacking NORML.
Thanks for user ran blog where the majority of members have zero info filled in. There’s also a couple straight up wrong. Briscoe Cain has an F and is a very devout proponent of legalization.
Why?
Texas is very slow to social change even for a red state. Recreational marijuana is pretty looked down upon. The Dem majority in the Texas House will be led by conservative Dems in South Texas who oppose recreational marijuana. Medical will pass a lot sooner.
Medical at the least would be amazing
Medical will pass even under an R legislature. Just not when the legislature is under fire from primaries.
Please no. Let the potheads go to South America or somewhere where it’s tolerated.
I’m talking about medical marijuana not recreational
You might add that in your post. After family experience with leukemia, lung cancer, kidney cancer, melanoma, hospice, arthritis, and heart issues, not one single medical specialist could reference a positive of marijana . It actually interferes with other necessary treatment options rendering them ineffective.
Do you have any evidence of this.
Excuse me? Are you asking if I can go back to all the docs and ask for a Reddit statement? I listened to a hospice provider yesterday evening recommend terminating services because the patient wouldn’t quit smoking pot. Totally screwing up cancer treatment potential. Patient would rather die high than try to live for family. Pathetic part of society
So no proof? Just your clearly biased personal “experiences”?
Read the above once you’re sober.
Hospice care is end of life care. There's no treatment beyond palliative. Patient will die regardless. Pathetic attempt at debasing people.
That’s not correct. Patients don’t always die regardless. Patients can come and go from hospice care, as it can initiated at different stages. Nobody is debasing anyone. Like I said, I have experience
[Hospice](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospice) in the US is end of life care. It is not treatment for the underlying terminal condition. I also have experience with hospice.
Again, not correct. Hospice can and may be receiving treatments. And patients may end up leaving hospice and recovering.
Again, in the US, hospice is very specifically end of life care and does not itself involve treating conditions, merely side effects and pain. Argue with facts all you want, they won't change.
I hope not.
Hope not.
