My mother n law has MS. 12 different prescriptions for it, some of them to help with the side effects of the medication itself.
One gg4 plant made into muffins and she goes off ALL her meds AND IMPROVES!!
Big pharma has a home here in Texas pure and simple and legalization will lower demand for their poison thus lowering costs. AND THATS WHY TEXAS FIGHTS LEGALIZATION. Ask a lobyist.
But everyday someone does from drunk driving and alcohol is completely legal. Fuck texas
24 billion dollars a year Texas definitely needs to get their piece of the pie we definitely have the space to grow
Decriminalization should be the 1st step no if ands or butts unless youre talking about full legalization. If im able to get wasted off alc then i should be able to get high off thc. Cant see how thats not agreed upon with officials.. majority if the citizens are on board with legalization. Its a waste of time miney and resources to be locking up potheads for having some grass.. yall do realize yall could be focusing more on child abductions and sex trafficking we hear about in texas.. oh wait.. forgot yall are lazy and would rather chase the easy to smell scent
Weed is super easy to attack
I got sent to jail at 17 over a pot plant. It’s been a year now. I’m 18 I’m on probation for the next two years and they’re trying to send me to prison for 4…. texas please decriminalize…..
Adults should be able to do what they want. We don’t need Government holding adults hands through life.
Abbot is a fucking joke. same guy that sucks off the oil company while the texas people freeze
They won’t listen to any of Yall.
Unless yall go stand 4 ur rights!!
Get up! Stand up! Don’t Give up the fight! “Bob marley”
Texas is in the dark ages…wouldnt suprise me if we are the very last state to legalize. Its time to leave texas! Everyone from california, colorado, east coast and everywhere in world is messing up the texas highways our children from the other states kids and our truely unique culture. Texans have been ran out by other texans due to laws about this plant and now the other people moving here running texans out bc they love building everywhere on our precious land. Here i come vermont!
Legalize it.
Texas MMJ laws is why I was forced to move from Texas and change my political view to DEMOCRATIC.
It broke my heart but I’m happier than ever leving that fucked up state and thier dictatorship…good luck and god bless OKLAHOMA…
Can I just buy weed legally I’m tired of all the bad weed and drug dealers in dallas texas . Why cant we just legalize. Colorado knows that there doing I went there last October it’s so beautiful walking in to a dispensary and buying what you need. Then you come back home to texas you try buying some weed it’s coming out of someone’s ass just to smoke a blunt . This whole thing of weed being bad is some fucked up shit , because alcohol is bad too but they sell it every where at clubs so you can drink and drive and die . Also it could be that texas doesn’t want to legalize cause where connected to mexico , which actually makes more sense to legalize it . But ok I’ll just go get high now on the bullshit weed I buy from drug dealers .
After a long day of hard work I rather go to dispensary than meeting up with the dealer, either way I will get my joint. I believe the state has a better use of my money compare to my dealers.
People are passing on. Marijuana…it’s junk..too many chemical in it…no good
Only 5.2k Views? Man we need to make this shit legal. I know y’all get tired hiding weed too!
Full Adult Recreational Legalization is what’s right for texas.
Texas does not have a medical program.
You boys wanna go to Mexico!!!!
Like to hear this
Thanks for sharing
Federal legislation doesn’t change state law
Everyone in Austin is on meth. Pretty sad. Texas is way behind on weed.
Best thing for Texas, is to just legalize it already.
LETS START A PROTEST IN THE CAPITAL!
Who is leading by example???? surely not Colorado!!!!!!?
Jax Finkel has more sense than the TX Govmt.
Drug money is a hell of a drug.
Just ask the US government
I have such faith in Texas government that I moved to Oklahoma for my ptsd treatment instead of 7 bottles of V.A pills.
I hope it passes I don’t like snow
CPS in region 7 made marijuana out a a major threat to child safety with little to no proof and Wasting thousands of dollars on trying to remove kids from parents just because they had used marijuana. I wonder what management will do now if it’s legalized.
I am not an advocate to legalize I just don’t see it as a major threat.
LEGALIZE THE FUCKING GREEN,too many people have been fucked over and had their life’s ruined because of weed scheduling,which should have never been illegal to begin with.All because of racist propaganda .US GOVERNMENT TOO MONEY HUNGY TO FIX WHAT THEY BROKE
Why does Texas have to be so damn difficult?!?!
Why? Why is that Texas the highest population and the HIGHEST minor drug possession arrests in the entire country
What the hell is wrong with all these pussyfooted politicians dancing around our governor needs to get the OUT he’s a clear racist against Hispanics
People need their medicine and theirs NO reason Texas should be telling adults what they can and can’t consume especially when the UN, Canada and MEXICO of all places is already YEARS ahead of the entire country let alone the US
Free the people of Texas from our governor free the people of Texas that are held down normal citizens that suddenly become criminals and felons for a victimless crime that is already 100s of Years out of date and implemented solely for racists reasons
TEXAS LEGALIZE MEEEEE💯💯
I think Texas really saved those turtles from destruction by conservative right wing politicians
Texas is stupid. Who wants to smoke hemp
I live in Colorado super disappointed to say Im from Tx. 😔
A market that is expected to generate 55 BILLION DOLLARS in the next several years across the 15 legal states…and you have the gall to say you have to think about what is best for Texas?!?! FULL ADULT USE LEGALIZATION or nothing, none of this halfass crap you are trying here. Look across the country at all the states who are probably going to legalize it to rebuild their economies thanks to COVID?!?!?! Oh and while you’re at it, legalize constitutional carry too Abbott!!! How you gonna let Texas be behind freaking Oklahoma on shit?????
So long as Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick’s are in office this is moot and a waste of time.
Need to get them out of their positions before any of this is even relevant.
I should have say so over what I consume, we’re not even a fair nation when some Americans have rights other Americans don’t.
Land of the free?
Pfft. Please.
Come on hurry up, tired of the stress of having to hide to smoke. This is just as bad as my ptsd…
man.. fuck Texas. I’m going to to Colorado or some shit. this is bullshit and they know it.
Full legalization or no legalization… Its that simple… All this partial BS….
Holy hell, just copy Colorado’s laws
I’m from Texas and I’m fucking done with the no weed in Texas! legalize weed in Texas now ASAP!!
This is BS. Why we got to be different. They all thriving with the sales. Trash.
what’s right for texas is full legalization
Thank god I moved back to my home state Arizona where I have my medical card and can freely use and possess without worries of it ruining my whole life like it can in Texas. What an absolute joke how far behind the rest of the country Texas is when it comes to marijuana, very sad. We even recently became recreational in AZ! God bless
We should feed are cows weed to make them tead better and better for us.
I’m still gonna smoke legal or not
I remember when they were trying to steal sea turtles from Hawaii and the Galapagos islands and trying to make turtle soup and pizza because of teenage mutant nija turtles pizza cravings
