So sad TX could not pass real medical marijuana legislation once again. I have no faith they will implement a decent MMJ law for many years. It will probably be a decade before they get to where CO was almost 20 years ago.
I was born in TX but moved to CO in Jan 2001 to participate in the newly passed MMJ program. I came back to TX in mid 2015 to help take care of my ailing father. He passed earlier this year and I was waiting on this legislative session to see if I would stay here a bit longer as I still have elderly family members who benefit from my help. Unfortunately for them I will now be moving back to CO seeing as TX could not get its act together and pass a decent MMJ law.
CO is a beautiful state and i’m very excited to get back there. I have no plans of ever living in TX again, good luck.
lol in the mean time,., Ill go find someone I dont know to see if they can sell me sack of weed – ….thanks
Thank you for the updates
So what happened with the decriminalization of marijuana? Did it drop to a class c misdemeanor?
I just once again got back from Seattle WA for the holidays and I can say with all honesty, that compared to Texas, we here in Texas live in a police state, they are so free there it’s mind boggling. When you go into a dispensary there the freedom you experience is so overwhelming. You can literally feel it in the air! Folks actually like police there now instead of considering them the enemy, it’s amazing, who would have thunk it! Anyways, I’m back home now and I think I’m gonna have to move to a legal state, it’s just too depressing to come back to Texas. I didn’t even smoke when I was there this time, that’s not the point, it’s the freedom and liberty they have there and we don’t have it here, period. I’m a very young seventy years old now and I honestly feel I’ll die of old age before marijuana is legalized here in Texas, I’m not gonna live forever, that’s just the way it is!
What about cbd weed that has 0 thc is that legal or illegal to smoke it in Texas ?
pssstttt, it matters not what any State/Plantation passes for Laws concerning marijuana because the Government CAN COME TO YOUR Plantation and ARREST ALL INVOLVED, including the LAW MAKERS, tomorrow, if they so choose.. Every State/Plantation that has marijuana legalized IS BREAKING FEDERAL LAW!!!! The aforementioned is an example of something broken, give it a name.. If the intentional infliction of pain, to obtain a desired result is considered torture, then there are Disabled Veterans today being tortured by their government, and one of them just typed this comment.. Thank You..
Patience is key when the state is ready
Didn’t know txnorml had a YouTube. It is not even on the website. Hope they fix it.
PTSD does not only effect veterans!
Thank you for the update
