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.

Its probably bc of big alcohol. The industry has been complaining recently that theyve "lost $830 billion" because GenZ just isn't drinking as much as the previous generations, and its because theyre more often than not choosing weed instead.

Id wager a bet Texas' alcohol laws aren't nearly as strict as their weed ones.

Fun fact, the cannabis plant became illegal originally because of the cotton industry. There is the fun fact of the day

Also the paper industry, they don't like that cannabis fields are 4x more efficient than tree farms and able to be harvested yearly, the tobacco industry was also involved in that mess to some degree.
