Yeah, that's just dumb.

Stupid not to legalize and tax the hell out of it. Same with gambling.

Agreed. It's not like we have to reinvent the wheel. We have plenty of states to model after.

[Chucho]

Yeah, that's just dumb.


We were pulled over by literally 8+ cars because our vehicle matched a shootout suspect vehicle description. Worse was hearing one of them say, "just make him eat it and let's go" and "let's at least wait for the scales" but I honestly think I took the fall so they wouldn't look bad- "ALL those cops and not 1 arrest?!?"- type of thing and my cousins wanted to take my wallet so they could post bail and they wouldn't let them either. Fun times.

no tax other than TX sales tax, no more than tax on alcohol in a store.

but TX alcohol industry makes the policy, and gonna buy enough legislators to tax the shit out of my, to reduce mj replacing alcohol.

[Blake]

No, marijuana is too dangerous.

On another similar note though I think we need to lower the drinking age to 16 and the smoking age to 12

The amount of gambling tax revenue Texas loses with people in DFW who drive up to Winstar to gamble alone is probably into the millions.

Winstar + Choctaw + L'Auberge + Golden Nugget. I'd say in the 10s if not 100s of millions.

It should be legalized and regulated.

1. It's easy to get now for even teens
2. Taxpayers foot the bill for the "loser" portion of the users eventually (so use weed to fund it's own problems)
3. Big business, don't wait too long else we'll lose revenue
4. No need to smuggle it in
5. Build a wall of weed, about 3 miles wide. Hire boarder crossers to harvest it. Harvest X amount of weed, get a visa.

[vy65]

Liberal bubble? Chris must live in some godforesaken shithole suburb like Plano or Spring.

1. i started smoking at 13 so it's always been easy for teens to get weed. i also was doing lsd at 15 and that was everywhere at the time too.
2. if the losers can afford it; though it's pretty cheap these days anyhow. cbd bud is more expensive and is a joke at the moment in tx.
3. fuck big business!
4. or grow it illegally either. i really want to grow but won't atm. ah i remember the good ol' days helping buddies with their grow ops with rooms full to the brim with plants and just being able to walk through them was heaven.
5. that weed would suck ass for many reasons. out door bud can be grown great but i doubt you'll be getting nugs from that type of wall.

If Approved, New Texas Test Will Determine Marijuana Is Illegal With 1% THC Levels

For the last two months, dozens of county and district attorneys in Texas have not prosecuted low-level marijuana crimes. That’s because they lack a reliable and affordable way to distinguish between marijuana and hemp, which was just legalized.

the Texas Forensics Science Commission has worked with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency to come up with a new method of testing that could be available to prosecutors by early 2020.

Law enforcement — using probable cause to search a person or their vehicle — must first prove the substance in question has the look and smell of marijuana. That has become complicated by the fact that legal hemp can have the same look and smell.

they have to show a substance has a THC concentration above 0.3%, the legal limit for hemp.

under Texas’ compassionate use program, patients can possess CBD oil with up to a 0.5% THC concentration, which is above the legal limit.

“Their laboratories had validated a qualitative method. They distinguish it

at a 1% mark where they will tell the end user, ‘This is positive for marijuana,’ if the THC levels are 1% or above.

In most marijuana cases the THC levels are much higher,”

Countries serious about drunk driving have 0.05 limit, while USA's policies as paid for by BigAlcohol say 0.08%, 60% above serious countries.

Drunk driving kills about 10K people/year.

How many does marijuana driving kill?

America, fucked up, perverted by BigCorp/political corruption and Christian Taliban puritanism

In states where cannabis is legal, emerging research shows “a 15 to 20 percent decline in alcoholic beverage sales”

2) corrupts pols to keep BAC at fatally elevated 0.08%, which is 60% higher (0.05%) than countrious series about drink driving.

... another example of the oligarchy buying govt policies to maintain/increase profits, no matter what the (fatal) externalities are.
