Strange amount of political capital being spent  for a matter where the stuff is legal in half the country.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Here in ND it is okay if you have a medical card, but not legal for recreational use (not that some of the "medical" folks aren't using it that way).

That's far enough.

This end of the State, most well-paying jobs require pre-employment, random, and post-accident drug testing (and it has made the oil industry a much safer place to work, imho).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is having a hissy fit about the veto.

IMHO both have some right on their side. Something needs to be done to keep these stores out of school zones but the law that passed was overly broad and would never have withstood the Constitution.

Nice.

Just remember, there's a very good reason why they call it 'dope'.

Patrick Accuses Abbott of Trying To Legalize Recreational Marijuana in Texas

Texas Scorecard by Brandon Waltens   | June 23, 2025

In a blistering press conference following Gov. Greg Abbott’s veto of Senate Bill 3, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick accused the governor of effectively seeking to legalize recreational marijuana in Texas.

“One can only come to this conclusion,” said Patrick. “It’s surprising the governor of the state of Texas wants to legalize recreational marijuana in Texas. That’s the headline, folks, because that’s what his proclamation does.”

Patrick’s remarks came less than 24 hours after Abbott vetoed Senate Bill 3, legislation that would have banned the sale of synthetic and semi-synthetic THC products like Delta-8 and Delta-10 in Texas. Instead, Abbott has called for a special session starting July 21 to create a regulatory framework for intoxicating THC products.

Patrick said that effort amounts to legalization.

“Again, what Governor Abbott proposes is for us to legalize marijuana in Texas by regulating it,” said Patrick. “We cannot regulate 8,000 to 9,000 locations. We do not have enough law enforcement to do so, and they’ll continue to sell it, skirting the law.”

The veto has created a rare public clash between two of the state’s top leaders. While Patrick stressed he holds no personal animosity toward Abbott, his criticism was pointed and sustained.

“I’m not mad at the governor, but I’m not going to legalize marijuana in Texas, and if people want to vote me out of office for that, so be it. Not going to do it.”

Patrick also took issue with the timing of Abbott’s decision, characterizing it as a last-minute surprise that undermined the will of the Legislature.
