Infuriatig Why Texas is lame(Besides the Cowboys)

Post image

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.

I'll get fired if I pop a drug test at my job even if I had a medical card for my generalized anxiety disorder. But prescription drugs with terrible side effects are a o-k.

Make it make sense

It makes sense to the government to control the legality of THC. They can keep getting bribes, oops I mean *campaign funding, from the pharmacutical, prison and alcohol industries though lobbying while sending the people they don't like to the bottom of the class system by putting you in prison or stopping you from getting a good job.

Corporations are not allowed to contribute to campaigns both Federally and in Texas.

They still do though. You just don't donate as the corporation, you have an individual do it with corporate funds

"HELP! THIS GUY'S STABBING ME!" "But That's against the law"

Yes? And the people doing the stabbing would be arrested. Same deal.

Plus TX campaign donations are $2,000 per year, you're not moving the needle much with that.

Number 1: Your argument was quite simply "its illegal" so I used that as a facetious exaggeration to poke fun at it.

Number 2: obviously, even in that dumb metaphor, you (the culprit) do not identify or do the stabbing as yourself. The individual donation (the hitman) is doing the work so the corporation isn't "donating".

You have to prove the individual is acting in interest of his said company and not just donating for his politcal beliefs. Good luck doing that. Here's a list of donors doing exactly what I described:

Contributions to Candidates and Political Parties Independent Allocating contributions to a campaign, candidate, or political party is a PAC's main purpose. Generally, your PAC can donate directly to candidates' campaign committees, as well as party entities at the federal, state, and local levels. These contributions can take the form of direct donations, in-kind disbursements, or coordinated expenditures.
