Texas lawmaker files bill to legalize marijuana

Go figure Tx Repubs would find a way to inject god into the weed debate
quote:
In Texas, a conservative lawmaker filed a bill to completely deregulate marijuana in the Lone Star State Monday, proposing to strike any mention of the psychoactive plant from state law.
"Everything that God made is good, even marijuana" said state Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, who filed the bill. "The conservative thought is that government doesn't need to fix something that God made good."
The 24-page bill begins: "The following provisions are repealed," then lists dozens of Texas statutes related to marijuana. If the Legislature were to approve the bill, pot in Texas would be regulated like any common crop.
In a press release, Simpson said he supported regulating marijuana like the state regulates "tomatoes, jalapeños or coffee."
It's a markedly different approach to marijuana law reform than other states have adopted. In the last year, blue states Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Washington, D.C., have voted to legalize pot within a detailed framework of taxation and regulation. But it would not be so with Simpson's bill, which would offer no such restrictions.

Because they won't be arresting drug abusing criminals? maybe
But making a dangerous narcotic easier to get will definitely bring out the violent tendencies in people

This is the part that sucks. The regulations are unbelievable. Anyone who uses "tax and regulate" as a reason for legalization is a fool.

Yeah because when you make criminal activities legal, crime rates drop. So why don't we just legalize rape and arson and watch crime rates plummet some more?
fricking hippies.

Truth. My fraternity brother smoked 4 pots one night and I almost had to call 911. Really opens your eyes to how quickly a little "fun" can go bad.

This bill will go over like a fart in church. I can't even buy liquor without leaving my county.

Please explain said dangers. The violence associated with marijuana is usually on the illegal distribution side (smugglers, drug dealers, etc) not consumption. Eliminate illegal distribution, cut back on crime.

Its only a criminal act if its against the law. Kind of like the OT blue line sentiment of "We only enforce the law. If you don't like it, get it changed."
Thousands of small town PD's across TX will lose a major source of funding, though. You can expect resistance on their end.
