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.
Well stated.Gaeilge said:
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.

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.
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.
Yes that is the case for all spirits too. Moonshining is out of control.fc2112 said:

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?
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.lawless89 said:
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.

We could use a good "Wah of Nawthun Aggression vs us Good ole Suthun boys" reference......BenFiasco14 said:
Love there's now been a Hitler reference in this thread too. We've now got it all.

Of course he's pissed. Abbott's veto probably cost him a vacation home in Cape Cod

"what governor Abbott proposes is just legalization of marijuana"

Hope those last few checks he got from the alcohol and pharma lobbies have been cashed, 'cause he ain't gonna be seeing any more of them.BenFiasco14 said:Teslag said:

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

I sure hope we start banning Starbucks... caffeine is a dangerous stimulant
Their coffee tastes like **** because they burn the hell out of the beans during the roast. Then they burn them again during the drip.Slicer97 said:I could tolerate a ban on Starbucks because of the way they abuse their coffee beans.TAMUallen said:Teslag said:

This is one of the first times I've actually listened to Dan Patrick. This guy is a real ****ing idiot. How did he ever get elected to anything?
Disagree. Coffee from properly roasted beans is sublime. That's just not something you can find at Starbucks.Hagen95 said:
That's because they are starting with coffee, which isn't very good.
