Texas Lawmakers Pass Marijuana Decriminalization Bill

That’s one way of making a few bucks off of pot and creating a data base.

Pot hasn’t been legalized (yet), just ‘decriminalized’. Anyone who’s ever been busted for it is already recorded in TCIC/NCIC data base.

They could have been making money long ago if they’d have opened up Texas to casino gambling. It’s not like The Mob isn’t already here.

My understanding is the cartel already has a base in Houston and Texas politics. Decriminalizing of pot seems a business growth measure plus, A “win win situation” for producers, consumers and policymakers.

I think I just said that. Not just Houston but entire State. Did you read the article? Not a ‘win’ for anyone. You can go into any CBD store now and buy D8 or D9 flower. No problem.

One takes baby steps before walking…legal step to legalization. “Pot is harmless, except the guns where illegal.”

I get that. With D9 legal, it’s just a stupid tap dance.

Don’t you manage one of those stores that are helping the legalization of pot?

Yep, a CBDC store. Not ‘helping’ to legalize, just selling what is already legal. This is why I say that just like horse racing (para-mutual wagering), Texas is very late to the game. Instead of THC, D9 originated to simulate pot.

Would rather go for casinos any day. Want to get high? Buy D9 flower, gummies or liquid.

Drugs are good for whatever ails a civilization. Ask the Covid conspirators.

What people might not understand about selling legal pot in Texas is the amount of cost for licensing, going to be HUGE, rigorous regulations (how much you can sell at one time to one person, etc.) and a whole lot more. The amount of money that a customer will pay for doobish will be MANY times more than what they pay now for D9. Not saying they won’t buy it.

It means small CBD stores will go out of business and only large operations will be able to take the pain.

Dispensing drugs, both legal and illegal, entails high (no pun intended) overhead costs, no doubt about it.
