West texas cops must be so hard this morning. I wonder if they'll start the kansas treatment on drivers puttering through their western border. But at least texans can now go somewhere else for their weed other than colorado. Also Tennessee's weed bill is officially dead for the year. Mississippi's medical weed bill passed earlier this year though, so not all hope is lost. Maybe next decade, TN.

The economy sucks, I guess https://twitter.com/byHeatherLong/status/1509871301372137473?t=olFiOME6_xSE68CdakPYKQ&s=19 And everyone's whining about inflation because supply is restricted, demand is through the roof, and $12 haircuts are now an obscene (to my dad) $17.

Smokable weed is effectively decriminalized in Texas already because it is impossible to field test between legal CBD weed, delta-8, and other legal smokeable weed and illegal thc weed. If you have any concentrates you're still very much hosed.

That's much better. 3 years ago, that drawer would have been maybe 2 months supply for me. It's probably 9 months at my current consumption rate.

Not legalizing allows Texas police to decide who they want to put charges on vs who they don't. I truly believe this is part of the reason many places keep these laws around. Hell that dumb Kennedy kid in MA was arguing against legalization because it made weed smell not useful to police during stops to justify a search.

Pretty sure that's the same rationality keeping it illegal in Tennessee, too. I mean, when Mississippi has got the jump on you on weed laws, it's pretty obvious the laws are being used to oppress certain groups of people.

To that anti abortion lady with fetuses in her fridge, the commentary I saw was it’s a really stupid attempt to get arrested with human remains, just making abortion then totally murder! This lady is going to be mad when she gets charged with breaking and entering, trespassing, larceny if and improper disposal of biological waste.

Joe Kennedy III https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2018/03/30/25976878/the-great-white-nope-joe-kennedy-iii-disqualifies-himself Article quotes an interview with Ezra Klein, (bolding mine): quote:JOE KENNEDY III: So this one, um, this one’s a tough one for me. My views are not do not exactly line up with my own state and it’s something I’m struggling with. I think, look, there’s—when it comes to legalization of marijuana, if that’s something that society has decided that we want to do, fine. I think we’ve got to be really careful about what exactly that means and how we do it. So, we decriminalized it when I was in the court system, when I was trying cases, or shortly thereafter, if I remember the years right, in Massachusetts. When we decriminalized it it actually had a pretty big consequence for the way that Massachusetts prosecutors went about trying cases in terms of—because an odor of marijuana was, at last initially, because marijuana was an illegal substance, if you smelled it in a car, you could search a car. When it became decriminalized you couldn’t do that. So that was the way that we hadn’t—the base case that prosecutors used to search cars for under cover contraband, guns, knives, a whole bunch of other stuff, all of that got thrown out the window. That’s not to say that’s right or wrong, but that is to say that when that went through a public referendum, which is how that law was passed, I don't think anybody had much though to you’re actually gonna change one of the foundational principles for law enforcement that we use in our court system. 2 years later he reversed his position shortly before another election cycle and lost. His position change I believe was entirely due to polling.

Back when I was in school, I remember it was a debate between the idea that "politicians should do what their districts wanted" versus "politicians should do what they want to do and voters can kick them out if the politician is wrong". I mention that because the best way for a "doing what my district wants" politician to determine what their district wants is... polling! And uh... polling has kinda sucked lately

Wrong Theory posted:Ain't that the truth. I wonder if the principal opposition comes from alcohol and cigarette MegaCorps that ran the numbers and saw their sales decline in states after pot legalization. In WA state there was something similar when there was a ballot measure to allow grocery stores to sell liquor and while TV ads against framed it as concerned firefighters worried about your kids nearly all ad money against was from liquor wholesalers, while most of the money in favor was from Costco as they'd been feuding with the state liquor board for decades.
