Texas passed HB2593

House Bill 2593 by Rep. Joe Moody , D-El Paso, which would lessen the penalty for possessing THC concentrates (like vape pens) from a state jail felony to a class B misdemeanor , passed the House and Senate just today.

Article isn’t made yet.

But here you can learn more about what’s on the rise.

We also have Ketamine Clinics now. Pretty interesting.

No longer felons with hash. Baby steps.

I was born in Wichita Falls early 70s. I truly never thought this would ever happen even though the state burns the hell out of cannabis. So happy for Texas. Freedom!

I predict that one day Texas will dig a moat and become its own island. Pretty much surrounded by rivers ans the gulf anyway.
Texas is a bad mofo. Every tree and bush has thorns. Every animal bites or stings. Hot as hell. Their damn toads shoot blood from their eyes. Crazytrain.

Shit it’s a class B my bad! 2k penalty and/or 180 days the more likely being the $

It’s a helluva place but drags its feet on good business.

Yeah this + 5% medical weed (finally something over 0.5%) will be dramatic. Opening chronic pain as a reason to get a script. I see it’s changing but as I see Colorado also changing. I know it won’t be good in the end… legally speaking lol

New amendment adds a “total thc” law, which kills Delta 8. Fuck Perry.

Black market wins again!

I ended up with a penalty similar to that for 1-2g of flower in ~2010. This is a good development, I just hope legalization follows soon

@blackjack fuck d8, let’s open it up so farmers just grow d9 biomass and regular disty bottoms out too. It’s not gonna hurt craft extracts like you think

This will have the biggest impact to most amount of people.
Pain docs, have to drug test the pts they right narcs to.
Makes a lot of those pts not even willing to rub CBD lotion on their skin.
