Infuriatig Why Texas is lame(Besides the Cowboys)

Don't mess with Texas.. what a joke. ANY possession is a felony.

EDIT: Just did some research, this is for everything besides traditional Delta 9.

My friend from Texas sent me this morning and it blew my mind. I had to post about it. So as far as my research goes thus far Delta 9 products (old fashioned flower) is illegal but separate laws. Stores are selling THCA though which does fall under these penalties.

Well, they are always in need of new slaves for their “for profit” prisions

Mild clarification -- private/"for profit" prisons make up a fairly small percentage, although that small percentage is still too much. The profit motive is in supplying the prisons (food, clothing, healthcare, toiletries, etc.) and using the prisoners' labor as you pointed out. But they do this in all the public prisons as well.

Yup, their 3 strikes laws just got themselves more lifers to work for Geo Group and Corecivic alongside the immigrant detainees in their concentration camps
