    I live in TX but I have a medical card from Oklahoma & I only drive an hour and a half for my weed 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ll say this to anyone who’s never been to a dispensary. The street dealers that sell weed do NOT compete with the legal market



  2. Christopher Punx on May 6, 2022 at 12:09 am

    That is why we moved to Michigan 4 years ago. Not only do I have work, but you know what I can smoke and we as a state here are rebuilding roads in that aspect and republicans have accepted it here. Money is a winner and why do republicans not want money. Damn foo Anyway legalize it I wanna come home. It is cold here..Please Democrats take over Texas..It is time…I am 38 the republican bible belt has to go. Kick em out!



  3. 9SM on May 6, 2022 at 12:11 am

  12. Ganji Mayne on May 6, 2022 at 12:24 am

  15. chronic on May 6, 2022 at 12:28 am

  16. Minister on May 6, 2022 at 12:30 am

    It will generate a lot of money for Texas and other states are finding great results from legalizing the plant. We know now what are the ramifications of people using the plant and benefits out weigh the risks.



  17. Armed Deaf Boi on May 6, 2022 at 12:31 am

    Already got delta 8 here but noo texas gotta deepthroat the feds.



  18. Me my son and i on May 6, 2022 at 12:33 am

  19. Alexavier Nahoolewa on May 6, 2022 at 12:34 am

    It’s called D8 not D18



  20. Esme Esmeralda on May 6, 2022 at 12:37 am

    You should be able to grow your own bud. Wouldn’t happen til a judges kid overdoses on fenty laced weed.



  21. Alexander Dominguez on May 6, 2022 at 12:38 am

    Legalize that shii



  22. J Sharp on May 6, 2022 at 12:38 am

    Anti-American beto has ZERO to do with it. Guy is a grifter.



  23. I Am Ray Anthony on May 6, 2022 at 12:38 am

    Damn Republicans need to stop letting fear and politics keep so many Texans under oppression. Cannabis was put here for our well-being and health. I’m sick of being an exile in my own homeland! 🖕Every smoker needs to seize this opportunity this coming election and VOTE FOR BETO!!! ✊🏼



  24. Flores Chris on May 6, 2022 at 12:44 am

    We can fix potholes and fund education with pot tax revenue, instead of filling the pockets of the black market.



  25. Mario Garza on May 6, 2022 at 12:44 am

    I think the state of Tx will make more money if we legalize marijuana



  26. Chris Martin on May 6, 2022 at 12:45 am

  27. L0united on May 6, 2022 at 12:48 am

  30. Someone Watching on May 6, 2022 at 12:52 am

    I can move back to Longview TX if you make it legal. Michael Lewis Jones.



  31. My Channel on May 6, 2022 at 12:57 am

    I want to move to Texas for music, but I’m not going until they legalize or at least criminalize cannabis.



  32. Roger Stephens on May 6, 2022 at 12:59 am

    Another Way For Taxation And School Funding
