Collin County

At least there is no BS about intent to distribute.

In the not so distant past … I'd agree with you.

For pot … It ain't like it used to be.

LEGAL and no conflict growth for many parts of US, my area certainly included.

I just saw Collin county. He fkcd.

Less than 2oz? In Harris County you can have up to 4oz and not get arrested.

This discussion is starting to remind me of when a Facebook friend of mine posted a copypasta about how bad weed is and a bunch of people took it seriously.

Good Evening.

Marijuana is illegal. Someone who smokes marijuana is breaking the law. A person with no regard for smaller laws like marijuana prohibition clearly has no respect for the institution of government and as such there is nothing stopping this person from committing greater crimes such as theft, battery, and murder. Moreover, marijuana degenerates this person's mind to the point where they are unaware of their actions, thereby rendering them even more susceptible to carrying out these greater crimes. It's best to eliminate these threats before they arise and keep marijuana illegal.

I don't want this post to turn into a debate between sober responsible adults and embittered drug addicted degenerates seeking to justify their horrible life decisions. If you are commenting for the latter reason I recommend taking your frustrations out on an adult coloring book or a hacky sack while the rest of us continue to maintain that the best thing for society as a whole is to keep you off the streets and away from view.

Thank you, and let's keep marijuana illegal.

That is just how the law is written. He could have had 1g or 50gs and it is a class B regardless. These end up getting 1 year of class B differed adjudication probation and get dropped and sealed after that year in most cases (If you have at least a decent lawyer).

Edit: I realize based on your previous posts that this was a joke, but some people truly do think this way and these unscientific myths need to be debunked.

Ignorance all around in this post.

1. Yes, you are right. I have no respect for the institution of government. I think that unconstitutional laws are being passed every day. I think our freedoms are constantly tested and stepped on. I think that leftists are destroying this country. Honestly, I think Texas would be better off seceding.

The US government is supposed to be by the people and for the people. And right now, it is not.

Laws are not what is stopping me from murdering, theft, battery, and rape. Morals and Values are what stop me from doing those things.

2. After the high of cannabis wears off, no permanent impairment or brain damage is left behind, as it is with Alcohol. You will also not get liver damage or addiction. If you want to ban impairment altogether, I'd start with alcohol. Drunk people start fights in bars and make a fool of themselves all the time. People who are high fall asleep on the couch eating a burger they ordered on GrubHub.

3. Your second paragraph shows your ignorance of the number and quality of people who use cannabis. The college kids that go to your church, the kids volunteering at food shelters, the engineers who are super focused on school, all use cannabis. I am a junior engineer with an extremely high GPA making 40 dollars an hour in my internships. I'm doing alright. I don't think I'll end up on the streets.

I beg you, people, to research prohibition. You will find that the environment of Alcohol in the 20s is identical to that of cannabis today, and that is not a good thing.

Regardless, your ignorance and the government's tyranny won't stop me.
I will mind my own business, say hi to you at church on Sunday, and graduate with distinction from the best school in the world in my field.

Talk about hook, line, and sinker lol.

For the record though, I think it should be recreationally legal at the federal and state levels--with reasonable regulation.

I have never used the stuff and dislike it, but my son says he has to have it for medical reasons.
I'd like to see the state start selling marijuana grower licenses (starting at the same price as a fishing license) that would be good for maybe 10 pots in a residence... this would be a simple way to hurt the cartels and collect tax.

This. So much this.

Go live where I have and see what the process of getting this victimless drug to the customer involvesand the harm it can do.

It isn't just about the end user. Grow your own and then it might be victimless.

Here in orygun the only criminals involved in weed distribution are the legislators taxing the f out of it. Now if you want to argue the societal and health repercussions, well thats another story. But at least here in orygun (unlike in texas) its up to the individual to make that decision.

I'd welcome Texas to tax the f out of it.

A good amount of the cannabis in College Station is NOT grown illegally. It comes in from Oklahoma instead of Mexico nowadays. So people pay whatever it actually costs + Oklahoma State Tax + A Supplier + A dealer. They would much rather their tax money go to Texas instead of Oklahoma and would love to not have to support dealers.

Maybe Jimbo can get the charge dropped if he plays in the bowl game.

Really?? How much do you hear about this with players in Baton Rouge?

Or the Cowboys could pay the $300 court fees + $1500 lawyer fees it'll take to get the record sealed in a year.

Honestly, the paperwork for a petition for expunction isn't that hard when compared to other legal stuff. Assuming it's similar for sealing (class Bs can't be expunged, only sealed) I bet his agent could do it.

League doesn't care about weed. Most rational people realize there's nothing wrong with smoking weed.

I'm in a treatment center twice a week, people that think weed is harmless, haven't a clue.

To the dude that said F the police, Cal-Berkeley might be better suited for you.

Look at me, I work in a treatment center covering a variety of things. My anecdotal experience makes me an expert!

Some people are so naive. This is why we're still in the Stone Age when it comes to the devils lettuce.

most of the pot coming into Texas is from legal states now.

people dont want crappy brick weed filed w/stems and seeds that has god knows what sprayed all over it when they can get kick ass medical grade from nearby states

It's apparent you people are ignorant of the medical facts that prove marijuana leads to addiction, brain damage, and family violence. You are clueless and medically ignorant.

True to a mild level and MJ isn't candy. Now do Alcohol...

Start with neurotoxin, oxidative (we put it in cars we drive called ethanol) and kills anything it touches, a sedative the next day, and has a pretty long half-life.

For those who say legalization of growing and taxation of the product will end the criminal element are incorrect. Associations of legal marijuana growers in CA have just sent a letter to Sacramento complaining that they cannot compete with illicit growers who still provide 70+ percent of weed in the state because of the costs of state regulation and taxation on their product.
This also results in wildly variable strengths of weed, use of illegal pesticides and fertilizers that pollute the water and land, and they say they may have to shut down operations in the state due to their lack of profitability.
Bottom line - criminals will eventually choke out legitimate growers and you're back to square one.

Not if people grow it in their own homes, which is why I earlier suggested the state start selling marijuana growing licenses just like fishing licenses are sold. There would no doubt be limit on how much a lic authorizes.

Not going to wade into the whole MJ good or bad issue. As a libertarian, to each his own. You like it, smoke it. You don't like it. Don't smoke it.

As an aside, not sure how mild it is now. I hadn't smoked since high school. Bought some in Maine when it became legal and thought i was going to have a friggin heart attack. That's it for me!

The other comment I wanted to make. Although I am not as tuned in as the rest of you, I can't remember Leal being a problem in any other way since he got to campus. In fact, he seems like he's been a model citizen/teammate. So the idea that teams will look at him as a potential "risk" seems sort of silly.

User name checks out

Just to better articulate my post that got removed

It's no secret that cops pull over people black teenagers/young black men for "suspiciously" being somewhere that cop thinks he shouldn't be, and it just so happens that this happens a disproportionate amount to black athletes.

I might have said "f" cspd, but we all know this ain't a cspd issue exclusive to college station.

So what's a cop to do when the black kid wasn't doing anything wrong and wasn't in the wrong place? How does he make it look like he wasn't just profiling? Well if he's not driving you just arrest him for "public intoxication", which requires no evidence (just the cops word) and he can throw him in the tank for the night.

But he can't do that if he's driving, he'd have to arrest for dwi, which does require that pesky thing called evidence.

So what's a cop to do? I'll tell ya, they find a joint or a roach in the car and it's go directly to jail black kid.

Now the fun part, why do law enforcement groups oppose decriminalization? It's not because of whatever nonsense they tell you about victims and addiction, but because they can legally blackmail black teenagers (including good kids like Leal) by arresting for small amounts of weed. Threaten to ruin a kid's life, his career, unless they take a plea deal and give up the person who sold it. Then the kid who did nothing wrong gets a minor charge, the cops do nothing from there, but they don't look like the profiling cop, they look like the good cop going after the baddies.

With cops It's not a few bad apples, it's a few good ones.

Go somewhere else to bleed about your dislike/hatred of cops.

I would not argue that fact. Not a fan but what you say is true.

You just gave the example of California, one of the worst-run government entities on planet earth.

The stuff that is grown illegally in Mexico is trash when compared to the stuff they sell at dispensaries. In College Station, at least, most of the stuff nowadays is coming in from Oklahoma, meaning we are indirectly paying Oklahoma taxes.

Know how I know you have a bad connec?

(Selling you Mexican trash)

A lot of people on here don't understand FACTS with how bad the marijuana is. As for Demarvin, let's wait till it plays out to hear the details. It could very well be mistaken and unintentional. For example he may have been at a party that had donuts on the counter that were secretly sprinkled with pot pollen. Once he ate them you don't know what happens.

If the police caught him with the those donuts they have plenty of history of things like this and it's DANGEROUS to cops and others so they would have immediately arrested him for the pot pollen donuts.

Its a scary world out there folks.

pot pollen donuts are bad, but maybe it was the marijuana candy everyone passes out at halloween that got Leal?

You can do a lot in Harris county and not get arrested. Democrat run county.

I was hoping we were far enough beyond Halloween for something like that but you may very well be right.

I have repeatedly said the stuff coming from Mexico is trash and everything coming into College Station is coming straight from Oklahoma.

I can't wait to see how much Oklahoma cannabis tax revenue will go down when Texas inevitably legalizes cannabis. I'd bet Texans are indirectly half of the Oklahoma cannabis industry.

I had a family member killed 5 years ago from a dude driving while under the influence of weed. BS … as long as it is a law.. don't break it or pay the consequences.
