Texas legislators file bills aimed at decriminalizing marijuana

I'm not clear on where the current pick for AG, Kris Kobach, lies on the issue of drug legalization. But if his sentiments are in any way parallel to his views on immigration, the building of a wall and the creation of a Muslim registry, my spidey sense tells me that he's probably not very amicable to it. I could be wrong. We'll see.
 
There's that small government "off of peoples backs", leave it to beaver, trip back to the 50's I've been craving!

Fine; don't come crying to the tax payers for rehab money.
 
They'll just end up in prison for another reason. They're criminals. That's what they do.

Everyone's a criminal.
 
Was just visiting CO a month ago... lots of booming pot industry there, such that it is causing rapid development and all of the socioeconomic ills that come with it.

The Fed needs to surrender to this issue already. It shouldn't be medicine in one state and a felony in another. The nature of cannabis doesn't change across political borders.

More states need to do this so people quit moving to Colorado. CA just legalized it, so I'm hoping they start staying in CA.

I would blame the bougie tech industry in CA more than pot for why young people are moving to CO.
 

Hey Fenton, how many people have ever died from overdosing on marijuana?

About as many that have died from overdosing on LSD. By your logic LSD should be next, right ??
 

I forgot about that. All these states that are legalizing... might get beseiged by conservative "SMALL GOVERNMENT" dea raids from the feds depending on who Trump appoints.

That isn't an answer.

BTW, great article about the effects of microdosing LSD as a treatment on the interwebs today, give it a look.
 
MJ rehab is the worst, man. They make you listen to Phish and The Grateful Dead completely sober.

Then discuss the parts and motions of an atom.. all... philosolophically and stuff.
 
Double yawn. Pot didn't kill them, as desperate as you are to pretend that it did.

You'll have to do better than that. I know you actually can't, but that's life.

Right. The pot had nothing to do with those deaths.

Again, you can't focus.

My question to you is...how many people have ever died because of an overdose on marijuana?
