I don't disagree with your fact #'s 1 thru 4. I've seen no proof of the validity of #5. I saw his reason #6 but no reference as to what age group makes up "the children" Making alcohol illegal for those under the age of 21 has certainly worked out well and the same outcome would probably also prevail for hemp products.

#5 - proof is just above with a quote from one of the lawmakers who was influenced
#6 - don't worry, Patrick doesn't know what age group he's referencing either, as he doesn't care. His law was a total ban for everyone. He just threw out "the children" because he doesn't want to say "bribery"

As for your opinions.... #'s 1and 2 are a reach (imho) I would like to see proof of #3 and if there is proof he is indeed doing so he needs to be charged and prosecuted. I would also like to see the proof for #4. If you have it please post it

Since it's my opinion, I don't need to provide "proof". But the talk shows sure talk about the money he's getting. And, for clarification, when a politician is given "lobby" money for their campaign war chest in order to influence legislation, I define that as bribe money, and again it's why I listed those under opinion.

As to #4, according to this, 53% oppose the ban and 31% support the ban. And, since most Texans only heard about this recently, many don't know WTF this is about. I've not talked to ANYONE that supports this ban. Abbott sure got the polling data as he vetoed this bill, even though he told Paxton he'd support it. But as it became more public, the voice was clearly in favor of him vetoing this POS bill.

As for your last comment if the only reason you are not using hemp products is because of drug testing by your employer you can either start working with your current employer to change their stance on these particular products because of facts 1 thru 4 or seek employment elsewhere where such testing and rules are not in place.
Or just retire, which I plan on doing between 3-12 months.

1) Child resistant/tamper proof packaging. Most THC products I see in Texas or other states aren't sold this way





Every product I have ever purchased from a legit dispensary in a state where it's legal is in completely child proof packaging. Often times difficult for adults to open TBH.

The stuff from here though...just classic ziplock from my experience.
Those bags Joy Bombs come in are no joke!


Hometown Heroes stuff is packaged like Colorado/Cali/Oregon stuff. A kid/teen would have a hard time getting into any of their packages

I'm a fully formed adult, I think, and I have a hard time getting in to a lot of the packaging! Yeah, just grab the lower tab on the side with two, but still messes with me pretty often.

You know what's way easier to get and open as a kid? Can of beer. Bottle of Jack. Pack of cigs. Bag of Red Man, Etc...

And to think this state voted more red than Texas last year and we don't have a problem with it being legal.

Almost never seen people toking up on the street. Gummies is where it is at.

Sort of odd to read about the continued fight against cannabis in Texas whilst watching Rick Perry talk about legalizing ibogaine for treatment of PTSD and similar, even congratulated Abbot on being a forward thinker of sorts on this.

The disconnect in Texas between what most of the public wants and what the elected representatives want can only be explained by lobbyists and their money.

Perrys passionate as heck about it, said he's gonna dedicate the rest of his life to fighting for it so other veterans can get relief. I respect the heck out of that.

Yes. Texas Monthly had a bit on his efforts a while back. Evidently a lot of his "enlightenment" is from time he spent the Luttrell brothers.

I respect him for it as well and believe we could use more alternative treatments to help those with PTSD and similar. It may not be a panacea that heals all, but giving folks another tool is a great thing.

The new bill they are working on the the Senate during this special session is SB5.
This is a paragraph they have proposed:




22.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by Subsection(b) of this section, the changes in law made by this Act apply to themanufacture, sale, delivery, display, or possession of a consumablehemp product that occurs on or after the effective date of this Act.The manufacture, sale, delivery, display, or possession of aconsumable hemp product that occurs before the effective date ofthis Act is governed by the law in effect on the date themanufacture, sale, delivery, display, or possession occurred andthe former law is continued in effect for that purpose.(b)

A person selling consumable hemp products on theeffective date of this Act is not required to register a productunder Section 443.2026, Health and Safety Code, as added by thisAct, before March 1, 2026.


Does this essentially state that if a person possesses a potentially outlawed hemp product before the date the new law takes effect, they are not breaking the new law?

Regardless of the wording in the new bill, Senator Perry and Danny Goeb can both choke on a fat bag of dicks
