People always say they want to "tax the hell out of it" without realizing that's the way to continue the illegal trade we have now.

Listening to Patrick's press conference. Dude is basically crying. Says this THC is already "illegal". Well if it's illegal Dan why do we need a ****ing new ban?

There are many non-users on this thread as well. It isn't a dependency; It is fed up with 'conservative' politicians championing individual freedoms and then pull **** like Patrick did with this.

We are small government types. The vehemency stems from not wanting more government controls in our lives.
Well stated.

This is a multi-billion dollar business in Texas. I just can't fathom Abbott signing this because for all his faults, he is pro-business.
Correct. He won't sign it and then it'll go into law.
Then let me rephrase...

I can't fathom he won't veto it. You don't just shut down a multi-billion dollar, currently legal business in your state. And, by allowing THC to be legally sold in the state, you're able to hold off the pro-marijuana folks to a degree. It's a good compromise.

I'm not one to toot my own horn....but I told y'all so.

Man this guy is an absolute idiot. I wish someone would debate him on this issue rather than just throwing out ridiculous claims that are totally false.

Just said "most of these shops are built around schools and churches". Hope this really does take this clown down and out of office.

Yes that is the case for all spirits too. Moonshining is out of control.

Not illegal Trump sighed a GOP congress approved Federal Farm Bill which allows for Hemp delivered 0.3 percent THC. Its approved on the Federal Level but Dan's to stupid

I actually don't care that much about the smell. The stale tobacco smoke from cigarettes is so much worse IMO... but even then unless its right next to me, I usually only get whiff for just a few seconds and then it dissipates.

Seems like I might be a minority though

He won't debate because he'll be exposed for wearing the lobbyist underwear. When no one can live check his ass, he freely runs his mouth. He is too chicken**** to debate the topic.

It should be subject to basic food and bev safety/quality standards as far as production is concerned, and alcohol standards on availability. "Taxing the hell out of it" is just more anti-freedom bs

Gotta love the "and churches".

Like a guy said in this very thread I believe, it bears repeating,

"The devils lettuce drove him mad" a statement uttered on this very board in all seriousness.

Now he's calling out Abbott on homestead exemptions and property taxes. Pretty much just going scorched earth on Abbott.

I could tolerate a ban on Starbucks because of the way they abuse their coffee beans.

Their coffee tastes like **** because they burn the hell out of the beans during the roast. Then they burn them again during the drip.

That's why nobody ever gets plain black coffee there. You have to add a crap ton of cream, sugar, and other distractions just to get it down.

And then it's still not very good.

That's because they are starting with coffee, which isn't very good.

Better question is who allowed, thought and encouraged being so hysterical as a good idea? Reminds me of a looney pentecostal preacher who is here to save us from the devil(s lettuce)

Disagree. Coffee from properly roasted beans is sublime. That's just not something you can find at Starbucks.
