    Texas the Land of Fake freedom

    Maybe West Texas will spot the cash cow, that they can get in on.
    They need to look for sign like broken sticks, and putting their ear to the ground.

    Slowly, neighboring states are peer pressuring other states with all of the law enforcement concerns and fomo tax dollars collected annually 🀣 tex-ass will have no choice soon

    Homogeneous laws are guaranteed to us by the law. A multitude of conflicting laws set up citizens for inappropriate search and seizure as well as illegal imprisonment according to the constitution. It has been in ages past, referred to as highway robbery or racketeering.
    Yes, this is in fact governmental racketeering.

    If Texans were really about "muh freedom" then they would stop voting for people that go against their own interests. Nanny State 101

    It’s all about the money I bet Tx cops are happy for business this is about to generate

    Too damn many antiques in Austin that believe Reefer Madness was a documentary.

    We can blame the "drug war" for most all the videos of police corruption and abuses of citizens civil rights. Many rural police and sheriff’s departments will be pleased to line their own pockets with the property seizures they’re going to make along Texas highways. Now that everyone has a camera we will be seeing a lot of people having their rights and lives discarded along those same Texas highways. This sort of policing makes everyone less safe. As a life long pro-life Republican I suspect that this one issue could also cost Republicans control over Texas government. I hate to see Dan Partick throw away our future over this needless and pointless war against fellow citizens. It’s sad to see how Americans who’s highest claimed value "freedom" would agree to let politicians build a police state to stop their neighbors from doing something that is a personal decision. We all have a good reason to be fearful of politicians who want to build a police state and miltarize the police. It is only a matter of time before someone decides to use that same force on us for other laws the violate the rights of more and more citizens for all manor of political grievance.

    I had to make an hour trip from north Texas to Oklahoma just for legal weed. The drive back wasn’t worth the risk…



  13. @robertmeloyanaxley1530 on November 25, 2024 at 12:53 am

    Make it legal in every state like we ARE united states. Then you won’t have to worry bout it

    Build a wall. That’ll stop them.



  29. @spunkmire2664 on November 25, 2024 at 1:03 am

    Fund raisers, nothing more than police fundraisers. Just like booze.
    Other states have it right.



  30. @drdescend5011 on November 25, 2024 at 1:03 am

    "to keep the public safe" from what someone being happy and or relaxed?

    Texas sucks let the border hoppers have it back



  32. @snehalkrishnan618 on November 25, 2024 at 1:06 am

    Imagine getting arrested for a plant.



  33. @ReddFoxxxx on November 25, 2024 at 1:06 am

    You know what would solve that issue? LEGALIZATION **gasp** wait what!? That’s a thing!?



  34. @carmstrong3254 on November 25, 2024 at 1:08 am

    April 2022. No need to worry. It will be legal in tx bye then.



  35. @hothmandon on November 25, 2024 at 1:09 am

    These laws against weed deserve to be voilated and disrespected to death. The violators deserve to get away with disrepcting it.



  36. @hambone2335 on November 25, 2024 at 1:09 am

    When the sheriff comes up for re-election, remember that he is against legalizing marijuana. If we elect a sheriff that is for the legalizing of marijuana he can give orders to not arrest people who use marijuana.



  37. @Ironman829 on November 25, 2024 at 1:09 am

    Imagine Texas, the state with the most marijuana in the lower 48, and because of dumb laws you have to smuggle pot from New Mexico into Texas.



  38. @germansaucedo6552 on November 25, 2024 at 1:10 am

    If Texas ever does legalize weed I’m sure it won’t be as legal as we hope for



  39. @lolok1099 on November 25, 2024 at 1:11 am

    West Texas law enforcement can eat a dick weed ain’t do nothing to nobody



  40. @ray1995mon on November 25, 2024 at 1:11 am

  43. @kynkotheclown6256 on November 25, 2024 at 1:18 am

    Hell with Texas!



  44. @TeXasDadBod on November 25, 2024 at 1:19 am

    Meanwhile the sheriff looks like she couldn’t pass a physical fitness test to save her life .



  45. @mounthydra on November 25, 2024 at 1:21 am

    I love Texas but also hate the authorities anti-marijuana stance. Very tyrannical and anti-freedom. A joint could land you up to 6 months in jail. Crazy.



  46. @arkrazor22 on November 25, 2024 at 1:24 am

    Did we not learn anything from alcohol prohibition? People gonna do what they want.



  47. @martinrascon1350 on November 25, 2024 at 1:26 am

    Its legal now



  48. @Rm-fl6bd on November 25, 2024 at 1:28 am

    I’ll be the person to do just that πŸ™‚



  49. @sitflyer2661 on November 25, 2024 at 1:29 am

    Wake up America! The drug war was lost the moment it started, just legalize it and move on. We have bigger fish to fry than folks just wanting to relax…
