you mean a person that stabbed someone 108 times only did so because she was on marijuana? She was completely normal outside of that wee little joint she smoked, right?

Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really
Tell that to your pro pot .gov in California that likes it legal, but let a murderer off due to Pot Induced Psychosis.
Never said she only smoked one wee little joint, either.
Don't put words in my mouth. Potheads should have better reading comprehension, Woodsy. Read better, appear smarter.

"Green" is the new RED.
I am fine for this and San Marcos. Hays County is the epicenter for Fentynol. The drug policies in the county are lax. Crime is way up and the cartels have a known hold in areas. So all you skunk loving turds can get on your knees to your dealers. 
You can tell who watched reefer madness and believed it

That was the defense she used and got off without spending a day in jail so you can agree or disagree with it but that's what happened and she claims she had two bong hits and stabbed the guy she just met 108 times and said that it was all because of the weed. Defense said it was some high potency stuff that they bought the dispensary. Say whatever you want those are the facts that got her off for murder. One hundred and eight stabs, that's more than the Manson case.

Agree to disagree.
Once again, what other laws should they be allowed to circumvent?

Funny how supposedly potent marijuana makes people both lazy and capable of stabbing random people 108 times.
The will of the people in Texas cannot be determined by leftist extremists in a few dysfunctional towns.Grapesoda2525 said:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) on Wednesday filed lawsuits against the cities of Austin, San Marcos, Killeen, Elgin and Denton over the decriminalization policies that voters passed at the ballot over recent years.
Citing state statute and Constitutional provisions that he argues prevent localities from enacting laws that conflict with statewide policy, Paxton said in a press release on Wednesday that he "will not stand idly by as cities run by pro-crime extremists deliberately violate Texas law and promote the use of illicit drugs that harm our communities."

Decrimilizing pot, . . . Look up Portland, Denver, Seatle & tell me how those experiments are going.
It's legal in my town. Most people stick with edibles though.
I don't constantly smell pot
Struggle and Strifer said:
I would say that the towns and states that I have been to that have decriminalized have turned to crap.
It is harmful, and it's not like you can't just go get some from your neighbor currently.
Every single one of them.
Same could be said for alcohol, some people get mellow and some become violent and kill people. But I promise you more people die from alcohol than weed, however if anyone thinks that these engineered strains of weed where the THC levels are 100s of times more potent than just every day street weed are one in the same, they are only lying to themselves. These commercial grow farms have guys that are full time trying to engineer a more potent product so they can make more money. Purdue Pharma did the same thing with hydromorphone, fentanyl, codeine, hydrocodone and oxycodone,tysker said:Foreverconservative said:Woods Ag said:

My son plays college baseball and a kid on his team had a psychotic break from marijuana. He's now using harder drugs and is just steps away from being homeless. This isn't the same marijuana when I was growing up. It's more potent. Eventually the Chinese and the cartels are going to figure out how to lace it with fentanyl. Same thing with the vapes.
Even the weed from the 90s took a good portion of its users down the same bad path psychologically. Who doesn't have multiple stories of promising kids who got into weed, and then REALLY into weed where it started to become an unhealthy obsession, and for a lot of those kids it didn't end there.
I smoked more than my share in HS, and sadly I introduced it to quite a few people. Some of which it led to real harm. I'll live with that guilt.
Me personally - the game changer was getting to see my older brother try to ruin his life over it throughout his 20's over something as stupid and trivial as weed. It took me stopping, then getting him to stop, which also meant removing a few really good friends from his life by force.

The poor guy in California whose date stabbed him 108 times while in the throes of a marijuana induced psychotic episode would probably agree with Paxton, but he's dead. From marijuana..
I can't help California and the people in that state. We all agree they're beyond help. A jury from California.. imagine what that looked like.
Weed didn't kill that guy. I psycho did.
We've all lived thru the past few years. Let's not pretend that courts are of any significance when determining the truth.

Lol the absurdity in this thread is just over the top. Fine if you don't like weed, you're better off not smoking it, but to pretend like weed is worse than alcohol is like trying to convince yourself that everyone should still be wearing masks because of COVID.
I think the state should follow the will of the people on issues like this. If it ended up in a referendum on the next ballot, it would pass 65/35.
If you want to know if Nancy Reagan's war on drugs commercials were effective, just look at the number of people still scared of weed yet perfectly okay with alcohol.
If you really think weed is that bad, then I hope you're also campaigning for a ban on alcohol, tobacco, sugar, porn, Instagram, social media, etc.
Good luck with your nanny state.

is this directed at OP or Paxton? The guy who is actually using state resources to butt his head into local matters?ttu_85 said:
Major border issues going on and this guy want to talk about weed, lots of weed.

To all the veterans in Killeen who consume MJ to treat chronic pain and PTSD, remember than Ken Paxton hates you and wants you imprisoned. Remember that next time you vote.
For democrats that want to ban vaping, Zyn and menthol cigarettes?
Yep, if cities want pot to be legal in their area they can persuade Texas voters to vote for people who support it, or God forbid, pass a constitutional amendment. I never understood why pot smokers even care to change the law - all my life pot has been readily available and inexpensive and only a moron faces any real risk of prosecution.Funky Winkerbean said:

We all try to change the law. This issue is very popular. But Dan Patrick will never let it even be debated because he's a reefer madness guy like you.
Everyone on here cheering on Paxton probably wears Oakleys and cargo shorts every day and thinks people who smoke pot are serial killers. Aka the same people who need to take a gummy and go on a hike the most.

I gotta give it to Paxton. Between being a felon, an adulterer, and abusing his office for financial gain (all while claiming to be a devout Christian), he's really good at reading the room on popular social issues
There are plenty of places to smoke to your heart's content.
This is such a nothing issue.

Do people doing out of town business or simply driving through those cities have a right to expect safe drivers and sobriety of acquiescences?

Not all of them, just important ones that feature significant peer review, are long term, and feature a wide range of disciplines and people from reputable academic institutions. These two fit the bill.Ag_of_08 said:mjschiller said:

If anything, If the assumption is that you might have more mary jane users in those town...you'd likely have less folks under the influence on the road. Can't find their keys.
We would love for a statewide ballot vote or constitutional amendment, but the state legislature isn't run by our best and brightest. It consist of folks who are still in the 1950's on a social level. They probably spend their weekends inviting friends or relatives over to their residences to watch gun smoke, casablanca, or gone with the wind. There's nothing wrong with the aforementioned movies, but I'm just trying to get people to understand how woefully behind the times our state legislature is. I wouldn't be surprised if half of them don't have smart phones.Shagga said:Yep, if cities want pot to be legal in their area they can persuade Texas voters to vote for people who support it, or God forbid, pass a constitutional amendment.
