YEP

1254 people died or were killed by alcohol related incidents in Texas 2025. Guess how many cannabis related deaths the state had? Google bs - always a laugh.

Don’t interrupt the Republicans while they make political mistakes lol cc @jamestalarico.bsky.social

Especially, 10 minutes out from Houston, Austin, Dallas or San Antonio

If there's any upside, maybe this will be the thing that pushes Talarico, Hinojosa, and Goodwin past the goal line.

agree - hopeless

Banning the Lord’s lettuce is dumb.

Ditto, but par for the course huh?

As a previous long-time resident, 38 years over two time periods, Freedumland is as backward and redneck-stupid (it's a special kind) as any other state in the Union.

Greg Abbott & others from his era suffer from the effects of "reefer madness", believing THC to be the devil's spawn & as bad as opiates (or at least an on-ramp to them), so they gleefully argue for prohibition. But can you imagine Texan's reaction if alcohol were to be banned again? #HandsOffMyJack

Leaving Oklahoma and then Leaving Texas...some of the absolute best choices I ever made.

Texass now has 2 "s's"

Great way to piss Willie Nelson and his g'zillion fans off. 😂

Daylight savings time cancellation is another

It does matter if the argument is that policy is being determined by their presence. Most for profit facilities are federal. People with possession charges aren’t going there

Yeah, it’s competing against repeatedly ignoring warnings about flooding and refusing to move a summer camp out of the zone.

Oh, and my pain tolerance is very high I gave birth to two babies - without medication (even epidural) and not as much as a whimper exited my mouth. (No some weirdo - just high pain tolerance. I’m no wimp)

Everything is dumber in Texas

Buy it on any corner in Oklahoma, 10 years in prison in Texas 🤔

Well you see sir… Texas has both private prisons AND private probation systems in place and while THC is benign, you MUST consider the shareholders. They NEED this restriction else the dividends end…

When you’re propping up the most unpopular POTUS in history, you do a lot of dumb things.

They need to keep alcohol, pharma, paper, textile lobbyists etc making that money. Plus what you said. Every evil inflicted on us is so the right people keep all the money, planet be damned.

I think they want to keep the boomers placated. Most prisons that hold citizens for drug crimes are not for profit, they are just state prisons.

Most things Texas politicians do are ridiculously stupid and often corrupt.

People always say "Everything is dumber in Texas.".

THC is about as safe as alcohol. Probably more so.

I don’t drink alcohol and I’m not interested in any of that stuff, but I agree that it is ridiculous that so many things are illegal that could be taxed and regulated like alcohol.

You should see what they are allowing the feds to do in Big Bend National Park.

Tennessee allowed some THC products, then decided to claw that waaay back after a few years. Put so many small businesses out of business. I blame the alcohol industry lobbyists. Also, “Pot for Potholes” was brilliant and would have been a win/win for our state revenue and our infrastructure.

The abortion ban was bad and now they want to govern your bodies too. What’s the problem?

Trump lowered the classification. Biden was too much of a coward to do it.

Texistan politicians appear to be leading the pack on foolish decisions. Ken Paxton for AG?😆 💙🍿🔥

Freedom to carry guns everywhere you go.

Nope. People enjoy their vices, but can not be mobilized to defend them. They might be able to reinstitute prohibition.

You'd think that. Then you realize that you can't legally play Texas Hold'em in the state of Texas, and you start getting cynical about that.

It is telling that in Canada, we can go to a gov’t Cannabis shop, or any private cannabis business, and purchase as much weed and/or THC edibles, etc. as we can afford/carry, yet in 26 US states, we’d be imprisoned for possessing such things. Tell me again how the USA is a shining beacon of freedom.

I am and have been a THC guy since 1981-82 (5th-6th grade) and I support this post 😁

Thankyou🙄

Lol. Exactly.

See. This is just common sense. I'm also not a marijuana guy, but not rescheduling marijuana nationwide seems to be absolutely dumb at this point.

Everything Bigger in Texas....Even the dumb MFers...🤬🤬🤬

Well, maybe not. Trump aligning the US with North Korea, as instructed by his puppet master, LittleDick Putin has got rank towards the top of the list.

But guns. Yeah.🤬

Texas Legislators wrote the book on “The Dumbest Things To Do”… They have revised it annually for three decades.

Funny, their abortion laws bother me more. It’s stupid. The state is throwing $$ away. It’s called progress, and women’s lives

It's because alcohol sales are down Young people especially are not buying alcohol.

I mean how else are the prisons gonna make money?? Why won't you care about the rich people?! 😂😂😂

Tesla can build a plant there, but they won't find any qualified employees who don't use THC.

I wasn't either until IL got the med MJ card. I only take it at night so I can sleep. Yup- TX (lived there 17 yrs) is stupid on crime.

Ha!

Same here... totally agree!

Well, you know what they say - Jesus was a Rasta 🇯🇲

I had not heard that one. Are we sure it was not the folks at the council writing the Bible who used it? Constantine had some thoughts about their wine consumption. I smoked some California weed years ago. I was convinced I was God.

Culture war above all else 🙄

As a veteran (you, not me) please speak with your fellow veterans about its help on a medical level. I believe the research is pretty good on helping with many pain related ailments I also think we can treat recreational THC like alcohol and as long people don't use it and drive, it's okay.

I mean- have you seen who they let run that government?! Dumbfucks of treason and bc it’s Texas- they are the biggest dumbfucks of treason in the Union….

It’d be cooler if you were (a THC guy) 😉

Being dumbfuck religious nuts...like they've always been. But, now, we have Twatter, Lie Social, and the right-wing media throwing gasoline on this tire fire.

Paxton is a Dumb Criminal so….

I enjoy the low dose THC infused drinks. They are a great way to unwind at the end of the day when you don't want to drink alcohol. Now they will most likely be going away under a federal ban from what I've read.

Just a quick stupid kindergarten thought flashed: THC = Trump Has Cooties There. I voiced it. Now I can return to being an old fart.

It's the only thing that works for my pain. Opioid doesn't even touch it.

I'm not a THC fan and don't use any cannabis products. But I support the total legalization of marijuana products. I know some chronic pain sufferers who've been help immensely by pot. Alcohol is far more dangerous and it's legal.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Always count on Texans to do the worst thing for Texas.

I hate this thought. I assume it was sarcastic, but the obvious truth of the actions have devastating results.

Do you think maga boys are getting GOP emails on the fly that read, "But not you guys. Smoke up and vote red, Johnny."

and let the voters know who is in charge

And save them for the Republicans who will be filling them

And Big Beer and the Tobacco Industry profits untouched.

Any excuse to lock black and brown people up. Their sentences are usually 2 to 4 times as long.

🎯

Safer too, in a few different ways.

Bingo

And create felons who can’t vote. New law has draconian penalties.

It's Texas after all, did you expect better?

Meanwhile Anoka, MN opened the only municipal dispensary in the country, right next to the municipal liquor store. Money goes to the town, and since they can't accept tips as government workers they still put out tip jars, which they donate to a different local nonprofit charityevery week.

Time to dump out the trash in Texas and vote for Hinojosa for Governor! 🚩🚩🚩

Even God had a bong! FGS it's 2026!

How many have suffered bc of alcoholism in their families

Why not go after Trump et al, seems that is the only battle worth fighting. So many distractions to blind you all.

Especially because they already voted for it.

Texass version of a distraction?!!!

Yeah, read the room.

The Lord agrees. But anything to get blind MAGAs out of office and to begin to heal from the vileness of the pitiful excuse for a human being that sits in the White House.

All Republicans ( every single fucking one)are scumbags exactly as depraved as Paxton.

Seriously, I know older people that would have never, but now using gummies to help pain and to sleep. They got off of opiods and are doing better.

A lot of boomers are not happy- hope this brings Abbott to his knees

Why are people still living there, ffs? Jesus, just let TX secede from the Union already. 🤦‍♀️ People will just start growing their own plants, for flower, butter and edibles. Obviously, Prohibition worked out so well. 😑

They fucked up.

It's Dan Patrick. Pinhead. OTOH there's the federal ban going into effect in December. 0.4 mg per container. Federal ban. Totally in conflict with the farm bill.

I dont partake in THC. But as a libertarian, a ban of THC is dumb

I’m sure the police wanted the ban. Weed offenders are typically compliant. Lots of easy busts to keep those coffers full.

It will be banned long enough, for Trump and Familiy to get their Cannibis Buisness investments in place... And Trump will be looking for a way to obtain sole distributorship license/contract, before legalizing it.

Booze and guns is what they want.

Don't forget those pills give you diarrhea and constipation. Good times.

Prisons for profit.

Why the surprise? Neanderthals are in control.

So par for the course in Texas these days then.

the private prisons aren't making enough money

Fascist state of texas

what’s the point???

Yep

He's a liar. www.texastribune.org/2024/01/31/t...

Maga likes meth, cocaine, pain meds and Thiel,Musk and JD the tech bro wing love Ketamine. ( Odd the tech bro wing wants the trailer park maga wing in camps lol).

Oh just wait, plenty of dumb stuff coming in the days ahead.

and when it is being done to help the 'For Profit' Prisons... all thinking men, should oppose a THC ban...

Not to mention using “in the year of our lord” in 2026.
