    One percent THC? A sick person is still forced to buy drugs off the street. Vote Dan Patrick out of office for this farce.

    I’m from texas a non-user who was all in for gov. Abbot…will not b voting for him or anyone who is not for legalization. I guess I’ll b looking to c what Mr. West has to bring to the table. I’m just tired of the ignorance.
    They need to c how they can help individuals with pain not to b prescribed opioids or other harmful chemicals.

    From a possible 5% to 1%. Brought to you by Dan Patrick. He needs to go…

    Double it four more times and it will be what people can buy on the streets of Austin from Colorado, California, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Maine, Michigan, Nevada and millions of grow tents, rooms and houses all across Texas and anywhere cannabis is consumed. That means everywhere. We got sick of waiting in the 60’s so this news is a nothing, nothing about nothing except getting his name in the news for doing nothing.
