Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced Wednesday that lawmakers in the state Senate would move to ban all forms of consumable tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in Texas.
This is your daily reminder that Republicans are NOT in favor of less government control over peoples’ lives. They just need the right people to be hurt and controlled.

- PoC
- Those dirty stoners
I thought that banning
gunsTHC would just make it so that only criminals hadgunsTHC.The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.
If you’re stoned, you’re not as controllable
That’s really not true. Fascists regeims tend to like drugs because it keeps the population complacent.
They’re just looking for a justification to throw minorities in prison.
Did you get that fact from Pineapple Express?
Is that a smoothie place?
Seth Rogan movies from the 00’s
You mean from a couple years ago, like 2 to 5 tops… Has to be.
Shot fired… why you gotta do me like that?
Sounds like small government to me!
Next time I hear a rightie tell me how Texas is a “free state”…
Biggest plot hole in The Handmaid’s Tale is that Texas isn’t a part of Gilead.
Fine give up all that tax revenue, other states have been rolling in the funds. And because court and jail fees makes so much more money 🙄
Can we kick out Texas from the US now?
Give it back to Mexico. It’s easy to remove one star from the flag.

You can do whatever you want with them. I’m sure the people of Austin wouldn’t mind lending a hand
Keep the star, add Puerto Rico, or if they decline, Washington DC
Add DC, Puerto Rico and Guam.
These products are only taxed the 6.25 percent Texan sales tax. They aren’t losing out on much
Michigan made almost $300 million last year just on weed, and this year is looking even higher. Texas has a population 3x that of MI. If they legalize it fully and tax like alcohol and tobacco they would be missing out on a lot more. But whatever, we should give Texas to Mexico.
We should give Texas to Mexico.
Almost every legal state adds an additional tax for cannabis products. For example, Michigan charges an additional 10% on top of the regular sales tax that applies
But that’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about Delta 8 and other cannibinoid products that were legalized by Republicans with the farm bill. These products became legally available, overnight nationally when that passed.
Joe rogan in shambles
I mean, Texas already effectively has a ban on THC. They ONLY allow medical cannabis and it can’t be more than 1% THC by weight.
Joe Rogan is already flying above the law and I assume he’ll stay there for a while.
Texas only has a ban on Δ9-THC (>0.3%). The other, more novel, psychoactive cannabinoids like Δ8-THC, THCA, THCB, THCO, etc. are sold over-the-counter throughout the state. This would ban all of them.
Also, Texas doesn’t have medical cannabis unfortunately.
I agree that effectively a policy this restrained is basically no medical program at all, if that’s what you’re saying.
But they do technically have a medical program? https://www.texas.gov/health-services/texas-medical-marijuana/
Oh, I’ll be damned. You’re right! They started that medical program in 2015. Is it more restrained than other states?Oh wait, I remember this program now; this is the CBD tincture for kids with epilepsy. It’s not medical THC; it’s a medical CBD program.
Texas has vape shops on every corner that sell all of the Delta-# variations in all of the forms (vape, wax, edibles, even flower, etc…), including good ol’ straight-up delta-9 that falls below the federal maximum percent-by-weight requirements.
But won’t bringing them in through state borders be equal to narco trafficking? Thus making it very inconvenient at least, especially for his lower lackeys?
Yet another reason to avoid Texas at all costs
tbf, fire ants are reason enough.
God damn fireants. I wouldn’t have to poison my yard if not for them.
Also, the weather alone is a good reason to avoid us.
New Mexico will gladly sell you plenty of THC.
NOOOOOO FUCK. I was really enjoying being able to get weed at the store
Stock up on some distillate while you can. I got 100g of D8 for like $50 bucks (independently lab tested)
“Dangerously, retailers exploited the agriculture law to sell life-threatening, unregulated forms of THC to the public and made them easily accessible,”
…life-threatening…THC
Citation needed buddy. A little THC doesn’t seem to threaten anyone’s life. Someone can die from an alcohol OD but dying from THC requires another condition or activity that is going on, and thus due to inebriation the death occurs. This is still at a rate far lower than alcohol, a legal substance.
lol
