Hypothetically if someone in Central TX wanted to stock up on a few things before this goes into effect, what are some reliable and reputable businesses to patronize?

Terri Leo-Wilson is also a huge Karen who claimed they almost watched her daughter die from THC addiction

Lady, your daughter has about a 3000000x higher chance of being killed by a drunk driver on the road. 

 

THC addiction. Sorry, that’s horseshit. THC is not physically addictive. You’re not going to OD on weed. You’d have to smoke a ridiculous amount to “OD”, and we’re talking smoking thousands of pounds in like 7 minutes.

The biggest bullshit is people falling for the “word of God”, which is actually the word of man, which is still being used as a tool to control people.

If I sit on my back porch and smoke a joint, so fucking what? Where’s the harm? There is none. I’m not bothering anyone, so fuck off.

Someone really, really needs to make those jackoffs aware of the study that shows people live significantly longer lives when they mind their own fucking business. 

I feel for y’all, that’s some terrible bullshit to deal with.

Oh, offer still stands. HMU.

I’ve heard this all my life (always from people that happen to smoke all the time and can’t go a day without it) and it’s completely ridiculous. Plenty of people are addicted to weed, because it’s possible to get addicted to anything. If you think nobody is addicted to weed you didn’t know many stoners growing up.

He very specifically said "physical addiction" like how amphetamines, cocaine, or opiates cause a physical chemical dependency. You don't have withdrawals from weed like you do with any of those drugs or even alcohol if the abuse is severe enough.

You're right you can have a behavioral addiction to weed, but that's like an addiction to playing videogames. You can stop without causing physical issues in your body

They are "addicted" to weed like you're addicted to playing with your butthole.  You do it over and over and over, and it becomes a habit.

Well then vote differently lol

It looks like it's time to fully implement Fully Informed Jury and understand your vote as a Juror is about the Law as much as it is about "who's telling the truth".

If you think the charge against a defendant is bullshit, whether that's because the law is shit or because it's not properly applied, vote Not Guilty.Don't announce your reasoning when being questioned in selection. Yes, you can apply the law. There is nothing in the Law that says your job as a Juror is limited to deciding whether the defendant did what the State says he did. You have every right to decide about the law and its application. 

Bottom line, quote Nancy Reagan: "Just Say No."

Serious question though, how can anyone our age smoke a whole joint and not be completely shot for the rest of the day? One solid drag and I'm good for many hours. 

Weed is too strong these days.

And what's up with the stupid electronic vapes? What happened to zigzags?

Get off my lawn.

Shiiit… I felt that way about any of the Mexican ditch weed I was able to  get my hands on way back in high school. A couple bong rips or a shared joint and I was a gelatinous potato the rest of the night. Never understood how friends could play sports or lift weights after smoking. Can’t imagine what modern day weed/edibles would do to me

As an alcoholic,  someone who drank 20+ years, alcohol ruins lives. You go to jail, you got to hospitals, you could end up killing someone, ruing life for their family, divorce, loss of job.... it's a long fucking list of how bad alcohol is. 

Ive been sober for some time now, my job is high pressure,  I have had countess sleepless nights. I started using THC after a 5 year break, it has helped tremendously with my anxiety,  along with my readings and meditations. 

I also quit weed for another 6 months without any issues, not like alcohol where you need to be supervised as you have a really good chance of dying as you detox off of alcohol. 

But yeah,  weed should be illegal until the Marijuana lobby has enough money.... then everyone will be good with it.

We now definitively know that it is not addictive. If Helo says it is, it's not.

A lot of marijuana users, or just people who value freedom are just going to move away from Texas to a state where its legal. Those people vote in large numbers for Democrats. 

Those talking about the lost revenue or whatever arent considering that it's a small price to pay for them to get millions of Democrats to leave the state

This is hilariously stupid. Weed smokers don't lean a certain way.

Democrats are leaving because of dipshit laws and bigotry being baked into the state.

The school situation is about a billion X's more likely to impact change in my vote.

Pot/ gambling/ idiotic alcohol laws are just basic stupidity that other states also have in various iterations.  See gas pumps in New Jersey.

i do view the pot laws more seriously because of their...um...subjective... leverage against certain groups.

I don’t think you are going to need to stock up, mail order for what we could buy in Texas is likely still going to be available since it is legal on a federal level. 

When King introduced the bill on the house floor he said as much, he noted no matter which version of the Bill was passed people would still be able to order via mail. 

Once we have a signed bill with a date we will either have until September 1st or Jan 1st, and we will know about mail order in the time between.

Yeah....not a weed guy, never have been.  Have popped a gummie on occasion.  But THC is not chemically/physically addictive.  Do some people use it/depend on it too much?  Absofuckinglutely.  Just like some people need co-dependent relationships with other humans.  But that's a "how you approach life" issue, not a "we need to ban the chemical because it is physically addictive" issue.

Understand that full-on regression is what is happening here.

Kill public education to ensure an ignorant, docile population.

Ban anything pleasurable.  Think I'm kidding?  See the open discussions and planning, at the highest levels, to ban....birth control.  So, yes, non-procreative sex will be functionally banned, if they get their way.  We're already banning porn across the board, so dig up those old Sears catalogs to inspire your next jerk-off session -- that is, we're doing all we can to ban masturbation.  Oh, and sodomy laws are coming back, and they aren't limited to same-sex sodomy.  So, now your wife will have the perfect excuse when she declines giving you a blowie -- it's against the law.

Nothing is happening in isolation.  It is all part of theme and overall, OPENLY STATED plan.  Continue to vote for the champions of that plan at your peril.

My interpretation of the following text from SB3 is that it’s illegal to provide through the mail.

Can you DM me a mail order service perchance? I keep hearing about this mail order thing.

So my Delta 9 gummies for sleep are going away ?

Yep. Which is great news because your options will be either (a) not sleeping or (b) shitty prescription drugs, both of which lead to individual and public health risks as well as declining productivity.

All because a drug that works pretty well as a sleep aid with fewer downsides is also fun. And Texans may not have any fun unless it leads directly to conception.

Sure, if you are in Texas’s you cannot provide something via mail. 

If you are in Oregon, who is going to stop you from shipping something to Texas? Now once you open it in Texas you are in possession in Texas and breaking the law.

I had the same thought.  One or two hits today is like a joint of old fashioned Mexican Ditch Weed.

I had + repped captains response. To me something doesn’t have to be physically addictive to be dangerous or negative. 
 

Also, to clear the air I’m pro legalization. If alcohol is legal so should weed.

You're not wrong about that, but almost anything can be habit forming. Cigarettes are far worse in this respect than smoking weed.

e: Also, I apologize for insulting you, it's just a reflexive response to what it seemed like you were saying.

Retailers in other states will stop shipping to Texas because doing so would make it a Class A misdemeanor. The Cheech and Chong gummies aren’t shipped to certain states because of laws like this. Other states like Colorado and Oregon don’t allow it because they already have established cannabis laws.
Texas will go after companies breaking the law by mailing products to customers in Texas.

We are going to need to wait to see, the sites I posted up thread are shipping to those states (at least one I am positive of).

I think it’s a big enough market those online retailers are going to take the risk Texas can’t police and enforce it.

On the addiction issue, I would agree that it's not addictive in the same way alcohol or other drugs are. That said, if one is a regular user and attempts to quit cold turkey there are some mildly uncomfortable physical withdrawal symptoms that can occur. Insomnia, night sweats, headaches, etc. They're not necessarily accompanied by any cravings, but the knowledge that a quick hit will alleviate the symptoms can make it difficult to abstain. Speaking from personal experience....
