They way potheads cling to their pot and get so angry makes you think it might be addicting.

Like I said before ban alcohol and I think you will see some real anger! And it actually can be highly addictive!

I don't have anything to gain from pot legalization, but watching Danny get sanctimonious about THC while taking money from the alcohol lobby was pretty disgusting. Especially going after legal businesses set up after the state allowed hemp-derived THC. Too bad getting rid of that Tartuffian d-bag couldn't have happened in the primary.

I tried. I voted against him every chance I got. Even voted in the R primary.

Pot is 100% addictive. See how hard it is for an every day user to quit.

People will make life changing decisions that destroy their potential future earnings just to keep smoking it. My BIL's company just fired a bunch of guys after a couple were caught smoking weed on the job and after they spot tested the entire company, they had a bunch more get fired. Every one of those guys knew that the company had a zero tolerance policy and that if they were involved in any kind of safety incident they would be tested. But they wanted it so badly they threw away very well paying jobs to smoke it.

legalize pot. everywhere (in texas).

As I've said before,the only issue I have with legalizing pot is what I've seen in other states/countries. The rule there is smoke at home, not for use by minors, etc. But you walk down any downtown street and you are immersed in constant skunk smoke from large numbers of young and likely minor people.

There are reasonable restrictions put in place which and summarily ignored.

Wife and I have travelled extensively the past 4 years since retiring. We have only seen this to be true in Las Vegas, Liverpool, and Amsterdam. It is inescapable there. DC, Fairbanks, San Diego, San Fran, Paso Robles area Numerous places in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Croatia, France, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and many more were only an occasional whiff.

---

I work in downtow DC. Barely a day goes by that i don't end up walking through a skunk weed cloud at some point during my day. The homeless, incidentally, are huge contributors.

Our homeless live better than a lot of working folks in other countries.

I thought Dan was a great Lt Gov. I think we will be missing him this time next year.

Same here. Never voted Democrat my whole life but made sure to seek Danny boy out and vote against him.

And I use all of zero THC products. Just disgusted me that he wants to tell all of us Texans what to do. Truly gave no ****s about the idea of personal freedoms that we all deserve.

We've literally had to deal with second hand cigarette smoke and 'functional' alcoholics my entire life, but one smell of skunky weed and it's the end of the world. It's funny how many lies about it were told to us in health class that were later debunked, and are still getting regurgitated by old people.

Weed is likely the only reason my dad is still alive. That's plenty of reason for me to not care if y'all have to smell it every so often.

It's clear that he only listened to the Alcohol industry who paid him off then he looked at the far right / people who decide Republican primaries and figured most of them were against it. He thought he only had to protect his right flank.

He dared everyone else to vote him out and they took him up on it. FAFO Dan.

The veterans who fought and died for this country go down to the capitol every session. These veterans bring tons of empty prescription bottles with them. Unfortunately, these drugs are heavily punitive on their bodies and Dan ignored them every 2 years.

And now we got Vikki Cooper the Lakeway Karren.

You do realize there are other ways to get cbd/thc outside of smoking it right.

Yes, we do. Dan Patrick showed us all the examples he wanted banned.

Yes. That was his preferred method and it was taken away. Now he has to smoke it.

Curious. Have the police been arresting people for recreational marijuana usage when sitting in their house or backyard?

I ask because I know several people who buy for personal use and arrests are the least of their worries.

I do know of distributors, drug dealers, who are always looking over their shoulders.

Yeah we have weed and unfettered Marxism to look forward too

One issue voter's are great

Telluride Colorado is another fine example. From Norman Rockwell to Grateful Dead lot (the vagabond heroin addict lot) in a matter of a couple of years. And, I love Jerry and the boys. This issue is not as simple as some try and make it. There are alot of people that have no issue with adults having the freedom to use THC, I am one. That said, it is undeniable the negative impact it has on public spaces.

Have you been to these places that have legalized? It is'nt as much the smell (but that is an issue) as much as it is a rif-raff issue. You can't deny it, it is every single place I have been (in the US).

I agree with the positive points you put forward. I have seen it help with lots of health issue (very minor to terminal). But, you can't ignore the negative aspects. You must address them.

I lived in Portland Or in the early nineties. Pot was not "legal" but was de-criminalized. There was a balance there that I am not sure exists anymore. Down by the river, you would see/smell it occasionally (a wild experience for a twenty-something Texan). But up in the city, around the bars, shops and restaurants, it really was'nt that bad.

Figure out how to do it without screwing up the public spaces and I think most would be ok with it. I have not seen that accomplished in the areas that have recently legalized.

It's not so much the public spaces, it's the rude and angry pot smokers everywhere.
