Reformed pot smoker - not smoked in over 40 years. But I do think it should be legal, taxed and regulated the same as alcohol. Take the tax money and develop anti marijuana consumption campaigns, the same as they did with cigarattes. But don't send someone to prison for Pot - it's not that big of a deal.

I would imagine that the private prison industrial complex lobbied for this. I wonder how many state politicians are invested in private prisons in texas.
I just checked. Well well well.
Several Texas politicians have received campaign contributions from for-profit private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic, notably including John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, and Henry Cuellar. While public disclosure reports track campaign donations from private prison political action committees (PACs), direct personal stock ownership or financial investments by individual lawmakers are less commonly documented and change frequently.

Cornyn and Cruz and Cuellar have zip to do with state politics. Nice reach, but likely if you dig into the supporters of out Lt. Governor, the frickhead who was the tip of the spear in ramrodding this through, you might find something.

This and millions of muzzies. No wonder Texans are leaving Texas in droves.

Agreed, but you can ultimately get high on hemp, but you are going to have to smoke half of a pretty fair sized warehouse.....but it has some great practical uses.
I'm guessing the cotton lobby in Texas was all for it..... you know, for public health reasons, of course.

Does anyone have experience or knowledge of what the laws are for possession of out of state medical products? Specifically mariijuana from Louisiana in Texas?
Posted on 8/2/26 at 9:06 am to HubbaBubba
quote:
Recreational marijuana is entirely illegal in Texas, meaning zero amount is legally permitted for recreational use. However, specific low-THC medical cannabis is allowed for qualified patients, and certain delta-9 hemp products under 0.3% THC remain legal
So they have no distinction between personal possession and potential to distribute amounts??
Yeah, that's kinda crazy. They should allow at least a few grams for personal possession.

Yep. Abbot wanted to relax THC rules. The Texas legislature had other plans

At least Dan Fagtrick finally got his way.

since you claim to live in texas i'd advise you not to posses 14oz of hemp or move.
Posted on 8/2/26 at 9:38 am to HubbaBubba
A life sentence is only a possibility and is for larger scale possession, such as dealing. Simple possession can get you up to 2 years.

Isn't this like 3.5 lbs of hemp?

My issue is that no matter what state, if its legal .. its everywhere.
You can not walk the streets without smelling it. Hotels.... smell it. I took in a broadway show 2 weeks ago and it was being smoked by people in attendance.
The fact that kids can be exposed to this because there are no regulations on smoking whenever and where ever has got to change.
Cannabis use directly affects brain function — specifically the parts of the brain responsible for memory, learning, attention, decision-making, coordination, emotions, and reaction time.
There are too many studies that prove that it is harmful to kids.

I agree Texas went backwards. Also how will a cop be able to prove one is hemp and not marijuana? Now instead of lying to police saying your pot is just hemp. You'll have to lie and say your hemp is pot.
It's all stupid and my conspiracy theory is this is being pushed by the alcohol and tobacco industry as they are seeing huge declines.

I'll never understand the reasoning behind someone wanting a person to spend years in prison for smoking a little pot but someone getting a half gallon of liquor and drinking themselves comatose is perfectly fine by them.
Make it make sense

I haven’t smoked pot in 40 years since high school and I can recognize the stupidity in this law, and many like it.

Yes, if it contains more than 0.3% total THC and you have a stash that you owned yesterday, if you still have that stash, in ANY amount, it is now a felony state jail charge EQUAL to as if it were Columbian cocaine.
However, if you only have a couple of ounces if marijuana, that's a misdemeaner and you get a slap on the wrist.
Make it make sense.
Possessing the same two ounces of hemp derived THC carries a baseline state jail penalty of 180 days to two years behind bars and up to a $10,000 fine.
Wow! That's incredibly draconian.
How is it that Texas continues to get away with proclaiming themselves the most "freedom loving" state in the country?
