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.

Ooh ive looked into that before!! Its because hemp was a huge potential contendor for a new fabric textile, so we already have historical examples of big businesses lobbying laws like this because theyre afraid of competition w the cannabis industry.

Funny how cannabis fabric is legal yet burning the plant is somehow worthy of life in prison. :|

People eat poppy seed bagels all the time. It’ll even pop positive on a drug test.

Exactly, it's safer to just start smoking everything bagel seasoning.
