I'd rather he stick to the fiscal conservative / personal liberty angle but hey.. I'll take it.

Thoughts? I think Texas will see legalization and regulation by 2020. Maybe 2018 depending on how many more states pass it in 2016

I really don't see the difference in this and being able to drink all the Vodka, or what ever, you want at one sitting.  We legalized one, then legalize the other.  And use the same laws and regulations that are used for alcohol.  Hypocrisy is a son of a gun!

I understand whats happening here and why this movement towards medicinal/legalization/decriminalization is happening.  Its still a fearful thought when I think about how this may affect the school kids.  Im in the school setting at all levels.

I deal with kids from all walks of life as well as parents.  I love what I do and I am passionate about our society's character and especially the economic future of this country.  How will this affect our future workers of American jobs?  Not knowing that is what I am somewhat fearful of.  This is fairly new to the States so we don't have a long period of time to take data from.

 

Saying that though...I believe this will not eliminate but will help with the Mexican border issues we have in this state(hence the border thread).  I believe it will help tremendously in that area. I also believe it will keep non violent smokers out of our prisons and therefore they keep a job if they had one, they don't have a record, families are not split up.  And there is too many medicinal reasons for us not to change our outlook on this plant that can be used in its natural state.

 

As far as the disbursement to neighboring states where its illegal....should we allow their issues to effect our decisions that may better our state....especially the borders in which they don't directly deal with.  We are separate states for a reason. 

 

The fear of the unknown can hinder us sometimes.

      He's steadily improving rapidly. Not that your opinion matters much based on some of the wild projections you've made on this site

      Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.

      It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.

      I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).

      Governor Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for murder during protest…

      By bullets13 · Posted

      Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.
