Cannabis in Texas 2015

I don't know of a single old timer that is not at least on the fence about it - if not supporting legalization of it.

Not that I know thousands of them, but I think the view on it is changing by most people.

The choo choo comment does apply? I'm not sure, always wondered how that will work. Can companies prohibit you from doing something that is made legal? I understand not being high at work (like being drunk), but after hours I'd think it would be hard to legally stop you from doing it.

Just like drinking though, if you have an unpredictable schedule or are on-call - you'd have to hold off until you know you can sober up.

Shit, there are companies (LARGE companies) that make you pass a nicotine test. Meaning, you can't smoke or dip or even chew the gum or wear a patch at any time if you want to work for them.

I would start my own business like in CO in a heartbeat.

Been my thoughts. If hippies can bank legally then why can't I?

I think if it goes to public vote it will squeak bye.

Squeak "Bye!"

Or

Squeak by

I'm still in the "wait and see" mode as to how things go with CO and WA. I think it is too early yet to fully comprehend all the repercussions. I'm not on board with all the candies and drinks and treats. As a parent, they just don't set well with me and how they are marketed. My opinions have changed over the years. I think it should be decriminalized, but I think it needs to be regulated to some extent. However; I think it is criminal that they want to prosecute people, and parents especially that have truly found medicinal miracles that are working, but are not approved by the FDA. I think any medicinal claims could just as well be regulated the way anything you'd buy at GNC or homeopathic stores.

I have a feeling TX will be the last state in America to pass it. Too many blue hairs.

No way, there's much more in the bible belt that i believe will hold out longer than texas. it wont be about the blue hairs, it'll be about the money saved + money generated.

They just need to decriminalize from what I've read, so many non violent people crowding our prisons, for a plant.

Still can't smoke while working for Choo Choo

If the republicans are smart they'll legalize it so it doesn't become a ballot initiative.

Republicans acting progressively to cast a red herring to the side? One can wish.

I could use the immediate relaxation of weed.

I don't smoke it (some say I should) but I am all for allowing adults who want to smoke it or eat it to have at it. No laws on the books against it, no penalties and no regulation. If you want to grow it in your backyard like growing cotton, have at.
