it's not about the weed, it's about making more excuses to detain/arrest/murder brown people

this combined with them really pushing to make recording the police a felony
Ding
Not a full ding ding ding, but a bit of ding
It's definitely about the brown people, but it's also about religious control over people. Soon buggery will be prohibited for some bullshit reason, divorce will be outlawed again so that Texas finally finally can get back to its racist roots of the 1800's. All we need then is some good ol' slavery to finish it all off
Sodomy/buggery is technically still illegal in Texas
It’s unenforceable because the Supreme Court overturned the states ability to enforce the law but they’ve still never removed the laws. The last attempt was in 2023 and failed. They have arguably fought to protect the laws on the books for a time like now, when they could challenge and overturn the 2003 decision made in Lawrence v Texas and suddenly reenact all of those laws at once without having to re establish a legal framework once a sympathetic supreme court opens the floodgates for homophobia
May I introduce you to the Texas Prison System? They clean our highways, do hard labor, work for our universities doing landscaping,

to be exact, to fill up those 70+ for profit prisons in texas.
Legalized weed makes everything safer, crime goes down, people are dealing with addiction less, drinking even goes down, all of these things are terrible for the police

True, but they DO still like denying fun to themselves and their same-race underlings as well.

As a Canadian, I can't believe how sad the US has become, and they're regressing in freefall mode.
You ain't seen nothing yet!

No way would I encourage anyone from that shitty state to move to my state. Stay there and deal with the mess you made.
The people of Texas are gerrymandered to oblivion and this is well documented. They didn't vote for this. Billionaires came to Tx and bought the politicians, maga spread through and removed the old style Rs.
Not that I think anyone should try to run from these problems. They should be faced head on. But, it's important to not blame the wrong people.

I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It's disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won't openly admit that they did this.
I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.

You know that not everyone in Texas voted for this shit, right? Many people voted against it, and many can't vote because they were underage at the time, undocumented or disenfranchised.
So kindly, take your bad take and get fucked.
We're still paying for their goddamned Feb '21 weather event on our power bills!

We had a local place near me selling red "make weed gas again" hats. I've been in one time since and it has been completely dead during normally heavy traffic times.
Like these idiots don't know or even cared what they voted for other than "I'm a dude, I can't vote for a woman"
make weed gas again
I can't figure out what this means
It means all the stuff they can buy under the farm bill isn't very strong and they want the real stuff
"High grade"

Man, when even weed money can't move past your draconian and shitty religious doctrine. Conservatives are a plague on society's progress.
I’ve got some mates who live in MN and you’re limited to 10mg edibles and drinkables, no regular Delta 9 bud, and weak solvent vape pens (no resin or rosin)
Their shitty republican neighbor state has real bud and more than 10mg consumables…
MN is almost there re:pot, but not quite!
Come to Michigan. Help us go from a swing state to a solid blue, and enjoy some of the cheapest high quality legal weed you can find.
Michigan dispensaries are the shit!

MN is a state where businesses couldn't sell alcohol on Sundays only until a couple of years ago. We're weird about very specific things.
It's perfectly understandable. A Minnesotan mustn't be too joyful. "It could be worse" are the words for a Minnesotan to live by. Allowing alcohol on Sunday brings it uncomfortably close to "I'm doing great"

That's just the hemp stuff. They just passed legal weed a couple of years ago and are still setting up the market but we should have dispensaries open this year.

May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.
