I am not a fan of Paxton, I think he's a terrible candidate.

But, this alone is worth voting for him.

I'm so confused by this post

It wouldn't surprise me at all if potheads voted for marxism in exchange for being legally allowed to smoke their brains out. Fitting, really.

I agree there are FAR more important issues in our governments, at all levels, but this one is just stupid to keep fighting. It's an unwinnable battle in the first place. Pot is legal in a lot of other states. A lot of it is making its way into Texas from places like Colorado. So yes, they are already smoking their brains out or whatever if they want to.

I also find it hypocritical on multiple points. Conservatives are supposedly on the side of freedom. Most posters in here were rightfully outraged when they wanted to mandate the covid shots. It would be inconsistent to say the govt can't mandate what you put in your body, but it can mandate what you can't put in. I'm not sure how you can defend that logical inconsistency. Another issue is, of course, the alcohol comparison. Can you overindulge on pot? Yes of course you can. But the consequences of overindulging on weed are far less severe. The simultaneous tolerance for legal alcohol while at the same time supporting a ban on pot is yet another major inconsistency.

IMO, conservatives should adopt the sensible approach. And that would be legalization along with restrictions on how it's used. No smoking in public, no impaired driving, etc. Basically, if I do it in my own home and you're never exposed to it then what's the problem?

Missed you, best buddy.

Even I needed a 2 year break from Texags

Breaks are healthy, so for once we might agree on something.

Either way, I hope you've been well.

Ok. Marxism it is!

The pot heads don't realize that in totalitarian governments like Democrats desire, weed would be banned. Can't have the worker ants not productive.

Voting for Low T will accomplish none of what you want and he knows it

Is this a troll? It's so hard to tell these days with both sides so incapable of rational/logical debate. If it isn't, please explain how you can defend the blatant inconsistencies I pointed out?

I despise Marxism, or any other state enforced version of collectivism. I am what you would call a radical limited government minarchist, if not an outright Ancap. Not everything is Marxist…ESPECIALLY when it's advocating for freedom against state coercion. "Everything I don't agree with is Marxist" has become the conservative version of the left's "everything I disagree with is hitler."

The fact that potheads are likely the most fervent single-issue voting block behind abortion should tell you all you need to know as to why it should be illegal and not accepted in normal society. To be so easily captured by the desire to get high is remarkable and sad. It's no wonder the left rolls this out every election.

I'm surprised, honestly, that they don't make it an even bigger top issue than it is. But sexually deviancy seems to REALLY get the party leadership going. Pot is for the stinky masses of their plantation voters.

While I 100% agree with the overall sentiment, even the libertarian in me sees the problem with the above argument. Just leave that part off.

"Well then I should be able to <insert here> in the sanctity of my own home!" ex: heroin, propofol, kidnapping someone in a homemade dungeon (the neighbors will never know), homemade napalm (home defense only!), a small nuclear reactor (solar is so last decade).

Somewhere they're going to demand to draw the line and to negotiate otherwise will only make them dig in further.

Good. Enough with the nanny state.

No, it's pronounced "SeattleAg".

Post something factual and negative about Seattle. If he goes apoplectic and gets enraged that you don't know what you are talking about, it's him.

whoever he is.

Absolutely no reason weed shouldn't be legal as long as alcohol is legal. Not a reason to vote for this tool though. Eventually the old liberty-hating "conservatives" will die off.

Definitely a stark contrast from the statewide ban that Lt. Gov Dan Patrick single handedly decided for over 30 million texans despite receiving overwhelming input in favor of legalizing.

Dan Patrick is not running against Low T

Dude, he's way too f'n high to realize that Patrick and Paxton are not the same person

Drinking a couple beers on your back porch doesn't make the whole block smell like it was sprayed by a skunk.

This right here! I'd be more for it if every means of consumption, except lighting it on fire, was legal. Burning it should be a defense against prosecution when somebody kicks your ass!

Thanks big dog. I know how it's pronounced. I'm just meming.

And yea, while I don't share the same disdain for Seattle (I live here too) as pretty much the entire board, it seems to me like C@lAg has a pretty even keeled opinion on Seattle's [numerous] flaws.

Eta to be on topic: I think weed should be decriminalized, if not fully legalized. I haven't touched the stuff ( or alcohol for that matter) at all over the last almost 5 years. I don't plan to for awhile yet and even then, only in moderation but it's one of the things the government really doesn't need to regulate, IMO.

as far as the smell goes, I get it but edibles exist too.

Plus I have heard that SeattleAg no longer lives in Seatte. Or even King County. Because he was tired of the pot smoke and smell everywhere when walking his huskies or when wanting to leave his windows open at night.

He has now relocated to a suburb with a somewhat large and deep amount of water between him and Seattle, and while pot is still legal there, there is a much larger distance between him and any neighbors and he does not have to smell that vile **** in his home. Although it is still around when walking the dogs.

Or so I have heard.

I totally forgot about that guy til you posted that.

If I was king for a day in Texas.

Grow your own. Perfectly legal
Smoking in public is illegal everywhere.
Smoking in private is legal
Possession is decriminalized. No more going to jail for a little grass.
Edibles in any normal quantity are also decriminalized. Stop sticking felonies on 40 year olds with 20 gummies.

Distribution and sales- no thanks.

I get that is somewhat contradictory.

good ol cattle ag

Of all the things to outlaw that are dangerous; marijuana is one of the least dangerous things people can actually do. Conservatives will have to eventually give up on weed prohibition like they had to give up on gay marriage.

Now that you mention it, those things DO overlap!

It just stinks up the entire city whenever you go to a legalized area. Hotels, elevators, sidewalks, every freaking where.

Nothing. But while he can't do that, he can supposedly mutilate your kids from what I hear around here. Strange dual powers of nothing and everything.
