Nope. No form of THC is legal in Texas under any circumstances.

ETA Sorry. We’ve been in Omaha the past few days and missed this:

quote:

Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday vetoed a contentious state ban on THC products and shortly after called a special legislative session asking lawmakers to instead strictly regulate the substance. The late-night action just minutes before the veto deadline keeps the Texas hemp industry alive for now, while spiking a top priority of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Senate Bill 3 would have banned consumable hemp products that contained any THC, including delta-8 and delta-9.

So we should go back to alcohol prohibition so people won't be able to drink and drive?

Sure why not. You stoners and the "it's like alcohol" little bro syndrome. We tried to reign it in, and didn't work, so why adding more intoxicants to the legal list isn't smart. No where has improved after legalizing weed. Alcohol hasn't destroyed areas the way drug legalization has.

This isn’t true. The results of marijuana legalization certainly support the proposition that legalization leads to higher problematic usage.

If we did away with speed limits, would that lead to the same number of people driving at unsafe speeds?

It just destroys individuals and families. It is poison, plain and simple yet because it has been legal your whole life, you accept it.

All things come with consequences and trade offs, I just think adults should be able to do what they want in the privacy of their own home as long as it doesn't hurt other people.

So why not drop all speed limits to 20 mph? Hell, why have cars since people die when it falls off a jack while changing a tire or oil?

You made the original shitty argument. You’re abandoning it after one post?

The problem with this thinking is that it DOES impact other people. I have to buy the stoner's kid school supplies and free lunches if they become a drag on society. I get to pay $20 for an aspirin so they can treat the ER like a free clinic. Libertarian freedoms are fine, but not when we have socialized consequences, and we have way too many socialized consequences right now.

And I say that as someone who really doesn't care if people can buy gummies, I just think the argument isn't accurate.

The socialized cost of the downsides of legal weed are peanuts compared to any effort to enforce a ban

That may be true. We're going to find out one way or the other because the experiment has already begun.

Louisiana attempted the same thing in 2023. The state never intended to ban it. That would cause all sorts of black market issues. They were just looking for a way to increase revenue from. ThC sales.

I think La was given a small concession but ultimately told to pound sand.

What shitty argument? You are the one that claimed ALL people are trashy that intake THC.

You seem like a nanny state totalitarian wanting to control others freedom.

I'm saying let adults make choices.

Both of those are a consequence of government intervention, not the freedom of people to make informed choices as adults.

I’m not proposing any legal intervention. I’m merely telling you how you’re wrong. You probably hear that a lot.

Correct, but the important part of that sentence is "both of those are". It's reality; we have a lot of social safety nets that we all (well some of us) pay for, so stuff like this impacts all of us.
