City officials have certified a municipal initiative depenalizing marijuana possession for the May 6th ballot.

Advocates with the group Ground Game Texas collected over 37,000 signatures from municipal voters to qualify the measure for the local ballot.

The measure seeks to prohibit local law enforcement from making low-level marijuana-related arrests. It also stipulates that police cannot “consider the odor of marijuana or hemp to constitute probable cause for any search or seizure.”

Even more reason to vote on Super Tuesday.

Even though I don’t partake in said plant products.

A state court can and will definitely challenge this and win. This is a state's rights issue, not a local rights issue. CosmicCowboy shall confirm

It is in litigation. Not surprised you are channeling Ken Paxton's preferred outcome.

It's a states rights issue, not a local rights issue, whether you agree or not.

In Illinois where guns are heavily regulated, let's just say one ultra-right wing county downstate voted to allow unregulated gun sales without FOIDs. Do you think the Illinois state should not be allowed to prohibit this?

Do you think, say, voters in Kern County California should be allowed to vote to ban abortion in their county?

Same concept.

Assertions and red herrings. Nice.

Again it is being litigated. It is for the court's to decide not an old man pretending to be 30 years younger than he is.

Obviously false on two accounts. First, you don't know the proper definition and usage of the metaphor 'red herring'. Second, you don't know me and yes, I am indeed 30, not sixty, if you'd like to offer me $100K cash to prove it under penalty of perjury then I absolutely will, if not then you're just a pussy and a talking head.

You want me to talk about gun rights and abortion over an asserted equivalence. Sorry I am not looking at the shitty monkey, err red herring.

And :lol words are cheap and you have no credibility.

The issue is still being litigated nonetheless.

Not the same concept. The measure is basically telling SAPD they can't make these types of arrests. It might be illegal with the state but if passed, if the state wants it enforced then they would need to enforce it.

If it's anything like Austin, they can make the arrests, the DA just won't charge.

SA should vote to bury all weak males like Fluffer if we're being honest here. It would do more good for the whole of society than decriminalizing etc when it comes to weed. :tu:lol

Cops don't make arrests typically if they know there won't be any charges brought. You must think Texas, the state and its law apparatus, has infinite resources to prosecute low level marijuana users within the city limits of one of the state's largest urban areas. Newsflash; they don't, and won't.

Abortion is literally a hundred times more important to the state than weed is, sorry jabroni.

Shouldn't be an issue if done in Uvalde, just say you're shooting up a school. You'll never see a cop.

Actually, sitting on a grand jury will expose you to 95% of cases due to "smells like marijuana in there" when there isn't any to be found. It's a cops go to.

They can easily arrest someone, what you're talking about is if they will prosecute.
