Good step in the right direction. If they allow pain meds like percocet, than MJ should also be legal.
Texas isn't as backwardass as it used to be:grin: Majority Of Texas Voters Want To Legalize mar1juana Texas Survey Results I think a strong "grass" roots movement is what is needed to get the "joint" rolling in the Lone Star state. That and a few legislators with integrity and balls. Put it on the ballot and let the people decide. So all ya'll Texas tokers.....get going with it. Study how it was done up here, interface with the some of the movement leaders, get some financial backing and Party On Dudes.
do you think cartels will just disappear? they will flock to Colorado & Washington now, spreading into their neighboring states, like they have in California.
Question for a friend of mine. If my friend went to Colorado and got high, and then when my friend got back to Texas, his employer drug tested him, would the fact that my friend was in a state where it is legal mean anything?
Not at all. I'm sure there will still be many occupations in Colorado that require a drug. Just making sure, but when I go up there to see the Rockets in April, even though I'm from out of state, I can buy/use?
Yes. Over 21 with valid ID is all that's required. The only people who can't purchase are those who voted no. . And expect to pay cash only. Other dispensaries cannot use national credit card services nor can deposit in an FDIC bank, because that's still considered illegal money laundering by the Feds
I expect most employers may drug test when it becomes legal even if they did not before. But, if it is now legal, then is it legal to discriminate against legal users? That would be like saying employers are going to test for alcohol. They are basically making it legal so what right do employers now have to discriminate against legal users? I know this has been a big controversy for medical users already who have been fired regardless. It doesn't seem right unless the work involves the federal government where it is still illegal. But, I guess companies have the right to test and discriminate against users as they see fit. I think this whole thing is going to blow up and collapse on itself. Their going to apply the vice grips around it any way they can I'm thinking.
Someone just posted the poll numbers. Views are changing. Texas voting patterns have trended more and more moderate as the years keep going buy. California is the big state that would start the wave anyway, not Texas. You have Louisiana, Missouri, Florida, hell even Arkansas talking about it. you're not going to need Texas if all these states start legalizing it. You go to the suburbs in Texas and there are parents with good incomes that have the weed in the closet, in a shoe box, behind some clothes. I'm pretty sure my friend's brother is not the only parent living in the burbs like this. I'm telling you the support in Texas is stronger than you think. A lot of the qualities you talked about with Alaska runs true in Texas (supposedly, with personal liberty and freedom).
Damn. Colorado doing it right and looks like the Denver Nuggets have their name for a new reason now :grin: http://mar1juana-seeds-weed.com/wp-content/uploads/bwbps/afghan_buds_weed_nuggets.jpg
Considering that weed is to oxy. , what cough syrup is to heroin. Too totally different classes of drugs, but just using the strength of medication as a metric.
Has anyone heard of checkpoints along the border from Colorado to Texas this weekend, like those you encounter in the Valley from Mexico. I have a friend driving back Saturday from a ski trip and am concerned of random stops. I've heard of them already popping up last summer in Kansas and Nebraska. For a Rockets game in Denver? Uh, yeah! btw: just found out that out of state licenses will only get you a quarter per purchase.
You are underestimating the medicinal pain relief strength of mar1juana. It can absolutely help much more than "cough syrup." I've seen it in action as a pain management med. You are comparing smoking a flower of one plant (pop) to injecting an extract from another (poppy). You aren't comparing apples to apples. You should compare high concentration extracts to extracts. Sure, morphine is stronger, but it also stops working when the body adjusts to it. THC is non-addictive and doesnt' stop working, so it's arguably a better pain med for long term management.
No doubt the number of people getting busted for transporting it from a legal state to an illegal state is going to skyrocket now. You're going to have people loading up on it beyond the legal limit and then drive it out of state. This is part of the Operation Vice Grip I talked about earlier. Good luck to your friend. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed IMO. Ultimately, he's rolling the dice. It's already a common issue. Seems like there may be fed checkpoints eventually.
you can get dependency to mar1juana, stop spreading misinformation. Its a very low % but it still happens.
Won't matter whether our state jumps on or not, by the time it gets to that point the federal ban will probably be lifted.
THC itself is non addictive, the dependency is a psychological addiction which can occur in any substance that alleviates negative emotion Saying that though 25% of all clinical schizophrenics have a cannabis addiction disorder
