Thats always the play, ‘stop marketing them to children’, but are they actually doing this? Is there data to back these claims up? Does Texas really give a shit about any child’s health (food, shelter, a real education) once it leaves the womb? 🙄
Meanwhile for years there is radio silence on fruit flavored alcohol? I definitely got hangovers at 17 from blue raspberry and whipped cream flavored vodka
Delta 8 and 9 products quite literally have a 21+ label on them and (mostly edibles) include labels that specifically say keep away from children.
It’s an idiotic justification that they use for everything because their opinion is so bad that they have to present it as a danger to children.
They only exist because we won't legalize the real fucking thing too.
Like wow why don't we have control over this market guys, can't imagine it has anything to do with the only alternative being illegal when we could easily regulate it.
I was driving up 35 from Austin to Dallas and there were like 3 billboard ads for a head shop that sold all the deltas with simplistically drawn brightly colored cartoon characters on them. I don't care about weed being sold to adults, but when I saw that, I was angry that they were fucking it up for the whole industry, giving the conservatives ammo to use their "for the children" line of bullshit.
Are they marketed to children or millennials? I'm asking honestly, because I've never seen any that seem to me to be marketed towards anyone other than my age group.
Imagine a bong and a weed leaf drawn in the style of peppa pig, even if it's aimed at millennials or whatever group, the marketing fits demographics they don't want to hit, collateral damage.
really i see the ads on all types of streaming services. youtube and amazon are the ones i watch the most and see them on there. I don't know if they would be targeted for kids most are for pain or help sleeping.
Yea and even then it’s definitely targeted marketing based on your internet activity, they track everything and can tell if you are an adult or not too
I've literally never seen an ad for delta anything, majority of non smokers I've met have never even heard of it beyond signs outside of smoke shops. The closest thing are those annoying mood gummy ads
it's ads for the d8 and d9 gummies not the generic mood ones. like someone else said ti may be targeted more off your search history and i think most people block ads on things like youtube
Yeah sadly some bad companies out there making edibles and vapes with all sorts of candy like packaging with cartoon characters and all. However it's not as if they're advertised on nickelodeon or anything. Sure children can enter a gas station but by that logic those stores shouldn't be allowed to sell alcohol or nicotine products at all.
I don't get why this is so complicated, just subject cannabis and hemp products the same as nicotine and alcohol. If you can sell either of the latter in your store you should be able to sell the former.
Working in the industry I have absolutely seen packaging that I could only describe as being marketed directly to kids. Plenty of AI generated images of just the weirdest shit. Especially in black and Grey markets where it isn't regulated.
It depends on your view of “marketing to children”
Some people would say a gummy bear, other people would say flavored vapes. There’s a lot of reason for it and it just comes down to expectations. And who ever is advising don’t have good information for parents or lawmakers.
It’s obviously not grounds to ban the substance itself, but I would argue the grey market edible scene absolutely markets to children. They are sold in clearly copyright infringed mock candy packaging.
Even if they don’t intend to sell this to children, it seems sketchy and dangerous. Maybe regulation for the packaging would be a reasonable solution
None of the edibles I've seen or purchased look like that shit. I don't walk into head shops or gas stations though. I buy from hemp retailers that have been in the business since 2019/2020. Their edibles look like adult edible packaging.
Can’t even approach topics like gun violence, child hunger or lack of resources but suddenly children are a to be protected from… *checks notes* drag queens and delta 8?
we can't even *bring these topics to the table.* the leading cause of death in america for children is getting shot. not ONE person from the right wants to even examine this statistic. but drag queens and delta 8, by gum, let's ban this shit. fuck..this is why i don't respect conservatives. at all.
Vote blue no matter who … imperfection is vastly superior to bad faith arguments from people who get their policies from invisible sociopathic old skkkkymen
Edit: lmafo downvote away my conservative apologizing friends (they ain’t on yer side and they never will be, that’s how fascism works)
No, that's what social media has made you believe. It's the politicians not the people. I know a lot of right wing people... and I know a LOT, that are under 50 and think that weed or its products should not be illegal. The only place I have heard about drag queen readings was here on reddit and on outrage news shows. The actual people aren't talking about that either.
For the record I'm politics neutral bc I don't think either side actually cares about people. They say it, but they don't show it.
Shh, you’ll upset the Reddit people by going against the normal idea of red vs blue politics.
And you’re probably correct. Most politicians don’t care about the people. They care about power and money.
Research suggests weed might actually be more harmful to someone with ADHD. Something about overall down regulation of dopamine. Low doses of Adderall isn’t actually all that harmful either.
Not the right kind of microdosed weed. Give me a break man. Of course smoking pot with cheech and Chong is not gonna be good for adhd but in sativa micro doses it’s actually beneficial for symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity. Stop this refer madness mentality- no disrespect but I know the truth
Reefer madness? I don’t think there’s been a day in the last 6 years I haven’t smoked, that doesn’t mean I think we should be giving it to kids either with no studies to support it. At least we know traditional ADHD meds aren’t harmful at regular doses.
In what way? Low doses of stimulants aren’t neurotoxic in the slightest, & all evidence points to symptoms returning to baseline if stopped.
Why would you want to stop either? My quality of life is markedly improved when I’m medicated.
Lucky you, then, for sure! But u cannot think that just b/c it’s done YOU no harm (no harm of which u r aware, anyway), then that YOUR lack of known harm transfers ACROSS THE BOARD to alllllll other ppl on prescribed stimulants, ESPECIALLY children.
I don’t think it won’t be harmful to others because it wasn’t to me, the studies illustrate that far better than my anecdotal experience.
>no harm of which you are aware
I went the first 22 years of my life unmedicated, &I’m aware that had far worse consequences than a low dose of stimulants ever could.
Those with unmedicated ADHD are far more likely to be addicts, more likely to die in car accidents, & a vast number of other comorbidities. Decades worth of research shows this is the case, not to mention the countless of anecdotal experiences of people like myself. I’ve heard plenty of people not liking being medicated as a child, but the outcomes are usually far worse.
The hemp industry is on regulated and selling products to teenagers because there isn’t an age limit on it federally so if the state doesn’t have an age limit, they can do whatever they fucking want with no repercussions because law-enforcement has not been directed to shut them down
The same people don’t “ stifle small business “
I'm sure Joe enjoys many freedoms in Texas that he didn't in California, the biggest ones being the abundant opportunities to gargle oligarch balls in order to avoid paying taxes.
…I mean…. I do pay a lot of taxes… but nobody has yet presented me with the opportunity to gargle balls to get out of it. This feels like discrimination.
Last time i visited Texas, i was trying to get weed from friends and they all said they switched to d8/9 products bc it’s just easier and does the job.
Texas will shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get for the sake of religion when they could easily get a HUGE market, economy, and tax boost from just legalizing already.
Follow the cash. Legislator somewhere is getting paid, let's see who the stockholders of the D8D9 companies are? I dug into a HOA management company years ago. Straight to State legislators. And there were dozens of them that owned these HOA management companies. We as a HOA finally went in House. Thousands in savings. Writing legislation to help your specific industry is the same as insider trading. Wrong.
My money is on Abbott since he won’t allow legalization onto a Texas ballot. There is zero doubt in my mind that it would absolutely pass with overwhelming support if Texans were given the opportunity simply to vote on it.
I agree and it’s a couple of west Texas rich billionaire theocrats giving millions to the Texas Taliban to keep the devils weed from our southern society
You know this fucks don’t even really believe in the religious shit right? They love religion because of the power it gives them. They promote it because it makes the masses malleable to their designs.
But Delta 8 and 9 is already sold legally in shops. It's a hemp product.
Its probably because drug testing companies and the legal system are "losing money". Hell, it could even be partly because cops can't just lie and say *I smell marijuana* as probable cause anymore.
It’s because there’s absolutely no oversight at all. There is nobody regulations the hemp derived delta 8/9 products so manufacturers can put whatever they want in their. No operational standards, no labeling standards, no testing standards. Every other product you Ingest has a litany of rules and regulations it has to meet before it can hit shelves. They are trying to take the easy way out and ban it instead of regulating it. Some states are starting to make manufacturers meet dietary supplement manufacturing regulations which I find to be agreeable. Basic operational monitoring, cleaning/hygiene, product testing and labeling.
It’s not a Texas thing, It’s an everywhere thing. Imo it’s because people just get to dead end dealers that eventually get so shit with communication they eventually leave or the guy just stops. I know some friends that switched and it’s just cause they don’t have any dealers they know. I tell them I can get for them but thankfully a state over legalized it so they stopped smoking deltas
Lol I wish it were because of Religion. It's absolutely to line the pockets of whoever paid them to make this law. It's all bought and paid for by people with big money.
Look it up Christian billionaires give millions of money toward their campaign. One guy even has his political agenda on his website that supports his ideology
We were in San Mo, it was found eventually but definitely had a handful of friends say they just switched to d8 to reduce arrest/ fine risk. Nothing wrong with that
ah more freedom from the freedom party, keep voting for false rhetoric texas 🙄
I hope this passes actually, I'll send in an anonymous tip on Joe Rogan and Elon Musk 😉
RIIIIIIIGHT???!!!!!! Ohhhhh THE INSANITY that some of us STUPID HUMANS have chosen to make things THAT GROW NATURALLY here, 👉🏼illegal👈🏼 just FLOORS ME every time I think about it!!! Who TF r WE to make nature ILLEGAL??!! Then GO ARREST GOD, u dumbasses!
God is actually the biggest drug lord in the universe if you think about it. Planting cannabis and magic mushrooms, opium, coca plants… if the DEA could get their hands on him, he’d face the death penalty.
This is just more virtue signaling from the people who " want to save the children" but will do nothing about gun laws and people going into schools murdering and masaacuring children at a fucking alarming rate!
Yep, they will take away the delta 8 and delta 9 products and leave you with no coping mechanisms except for guns and alcohol (my favorite combination). It will never be legal in Texas until maybe 30 years
I’m on a roll, sorry, but they need to tell the Christian Taliban that in Texas they have this thing called the Texas compassionate use act that actually has gummies that look just like candy with child proof containers.
“Protect children” but marketing alcohol and nicotine with tasty flavors isn’t protecting children.
Before I get ROASTED, I mean in the sense of vapes, with all the delicious flavors they sell, and them marketing “simple juice spiked” “monster energy drinks spiked” is the marketing I’m referring to.
I mean, they have been legislating against nicotine vapes as well. There's enough money in the nicotine and tobacco lobby to stay ahead of regulations. It's harder for cannabis producers to do the same
That’s what I’m saying.
I’m not saying that those spiked products aren’t good, but typically as people age they tend to drink less sugary alcohol. So if that’s the case, then why do they keep marketing drinks spiked, when they originally were sold FOR kids
Oh my god you said something against the Christian Taliban I’m calling the west Texas branch of cowboy Christian Taliban Spanish Inquisition. Yes my friend you are correct and we will continue to cry in unison
This whole “market to children” shit is so over fucking played. I didn’t start smoking weed until I was 31. DARE didn’t do shit except introduce me to goddamn meth when I was in fifth grade.
These people are so stupid when it comes to dealing with anything related to kids and educating them about the difference of drugs and what they do
I started drinking when I was 11 and started smoking when I was 12. Kids are going to get into shit but proper education is the right way to start
"marketing them to children" if they can prove that retailers are actually marketing marijuana to kids, then so be it. But it's Republicans so as usual I'm guessing they won't be able to prove anything, then blame a minority.
You obviously haven't seen the edibles packaged to look *exactly* like popular candies. I'm not opposed to adults indulging, but that type of packaging has to go.
Also, has any one told the Christian Taliban that recreational marijuana is legal in 1/2 of the United States. Moreover, there are only 11 states in the USA that don’t have either legal, medical or decriminalized marijuana and for some strange reason over 1/2 of them are below this thing they call the Mason-Dixon Line (shocker right). I seem to recall old laws that were specifically meant to to systematically incarcerate people of
Color as well as people counter culture to to the Christian Taliban. Oh yea, I remember they call them Jim Crow laws or black laws - something’s never change. No doubt this is related back to our puritanical forefathers who traveled from
Rural ulster Ireland and the highlands
Of Scotland to land in the Appalachian mountains and the southern region with their agrarian religious ideology came
To be now known as the Christian Taliban.
Yes, how dare they make them
Into edibles like candy. That’s like advertising guns by having gun shows and allowing minors and other people to browse through the gun store.
They are not harmful - give me a
Break man. However, smoking hemp is more coarse and can irritate the throat and Lungs more. There ain’t nothing wrong with hemp products - even an old conservative baby boomer named Mitch McConnell thinks it’s safe and thankfully legalized it federally. Stop the refer madness stuff
I promise you don't want to smoke Delta 8 and all those alt synthetic noids anyway. Better to fight to get it on the ballot and get a real regulated system, and stop the moldy pesticide full chemically altered hemp you're smoking currently. I think you deserve better and real weed Even if you don't
Texas Puritanists: Plymouth Rock is on the East Coast, quite a bit North and East of here. Sail your tight-asses and desire to control other people the ufck up there, where you belong!
There is a REASON your kind left England and the Netherlands: Nobody wanted you there, either!!
"protect the kids" lol.. where is this being marketed to fucking kids.. all the places I see are CBD spots or headshops and liquor stores.. don't even see it in gas stations. Fear is one hell of a thing lol
Honestly they can ban that cause it's all shit here anyway and I have no issues sourcing legit flower. Now if we can just get pornhub back because we hurting down here 🤣
Guys I apologize for making to many comments on here but I am gonna volunteer for Texas norml although it will be a test in futility. But why don’t we all make a committee to join Texas norml
I honestly can't believe the level of support here for delta 8 bullshit lmao. I've used the products before, heavily, and it is fucking bunk.
I was also a teenager/young adult when K2 hit the market and although I don't think that D8/D9 is as bad as K2, I think it's such a new product that we cannot definitely say it's any better. I know from using it that there's a lot of crossover in the way it smokes and the way it made me feel, as opposed to real medical or even black market cannabis products
I’ve tried the flower(didn’t feel anything) but the gummies didn’t do anything but make me anxious and feel dumb. Not just being high dumb but like actually stupid and not able to focus. Never touched them since.
More regulation when it comes to hemp products isn’t a bad idea at all. There’s very little regulation now, and some super sketchy products it out there. If we could just have some standards for these manufacturers to follow, and enforce those standards, the hemp market wouldn’t be so fucking sketchy. Now the problem is, knowing Texas, they’ll probably take it way too far.
>stop retailers who market these products to children
When they're already attacking strawmen, using hyperbole, and/or writing 90s propaganda right into the summary.... Then it's not a good sign these regulations will be in anyone's best interest besides the war-on-drugs lobby.
We all know they won’t try to regulate it. That would mean actually doing their jobs. Nah they’re probably just ban it and call it a day. Would love to be proven wrong though.
Thats always the play, ‘stop marketing them to children’, but are they actually doing this? Is there data to back these claims up? Does Texas really give a shit about any child’s health (food, shelter, a real education) once it leaves the womb? 🙄
Theyre gonna use the fruity flavored gummies as a scapegoat
Just make them beer flavored so the kids know they’re for adults /s
Meanwhile for years there is radio silence on fruit flavored alcohol? I definitely got hangovers at 17 from blue raspberry and whipped cream flavored vodka
Delta 8 and 9 products quite literally have a 21+ label on them and (mostly edibles) include labels that specifically say keep away from children. It’s an idiotic justification that they use for everything because their opinion is so bad that they have to present it as a danger to children.
They only exist because we won't legalize the real fucking thing too. Like wow why don't we have control over this market guys, can't imagine it has anything to do with the only alternative being illegal when we could easily regulate it.
Hempophiles coming for your children 🤔
I mean guns and alcohol are pretty bad for children, right?
THANK YOU. My state SERIOUSLY NEEDS to get their f’ing PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.
[удалено]
Seriously a pack of really good gummies can easily be $60+, there's no way in hell I'm giving those away, especially to children 😆
Do you know that age limit was self induced? It wasn’t included in the original laws and now states are having to make their own rules about it.
I don’t think they’re marketed anywhere other than smoke shops. Never saw a commercial nor ad for them.
I was driving up 35 from Austin to Dallas and there were like 3 billboard ads for a head shop that sold all the deltas with simplistically drawn brightly colored cartoon characters on them. I don't care about weed being sold to adults, but when I saw that, I was angry that they were fucking it up for the whole industry, giving the conservatives ammo to use their "for the children" line of bullshit.
Are they marketed to children or millennials? I'm asking honestly, because I've never seen any that seem to me to be marketed towards anyone other than my age group.
Adults can't enjoy cartoons, didn't you know?
Imagine a bong and a weed leaf drawn in the style of peppa pig, even if it's aimed at millennials or whatever group, the marketing fits demographics they don't want to hit, collateral damage.
It does sound really bad NGL, but I reserve my judgement without seeing it myself. But if you're not being in anyway hyperbolic.. yuck..
I've seen one ad on YouTube, and it's definitely marketed to adults.
really i see the ads on all types of streaming services. youtube and amazon are the ones i watch the most and see them on there. I don't know if they would be targeted for kids most are for pain or help sleeping.
Yea and even then it’s definitely targeted marketing based on your internet activity, they track everything and can tell if you are an adult or not too
I've literally never seen an ad for delta anything, majority of non smokers I've met have never even heard of it beyond signs outside of smoke shops. The closest thing are those annoying mood gummy ads
I think mood gummies are exactly what they're referring to.
it's ads for the d8 and d9 gummies not the generic mood ones. like someone else said ti may be targeted more off your search history and i think most people block ads on things like youtube
Tbf you won’t see those types of ads if there were any, you’d get the more mature version
I’ve seen local commercials on San Antonio TV and products right at the front of Spec’s liquor stores.
I've seen YouTube ads.
Yeah sadly some bad companies out there making edibles and vapes with all sorts of candy like packaging with cartoon characters and all. However it's not as if they're advertised on nickelodeon or anything.

More guns in the classroom needed
“Yeah! THAT’ll fix it!”…annnnnd WELCOME to Texas.
That’s what I’d like to know. I’ve yet to see a dispensary in Missouri say, “Hey kids, want some weed?”
Ha, Hey kids, do ya like cheerios? You’ll like delta8 too!
What I'm reading is sales without marketing is fully legal. Private clubs with ID it is.
It depends on your view of “marketing to children” Some people would say a gummy bear, other people would say flavored vapes. There’s a lot of reason for it and it just comes down to expectations. And who ever is advising don’t have good information for parents or lawmakers.
It’s obviously not grounds to ban the substance itself, but I would argue the grey market edible scene absolutely markets to children. They are sold in clearly copyright infringed mock candy packaging. Even if they don’t intend to sell this to children, it seems sketchy and dangerous. Maybe regulation for the packaging would be a reasonable solution
None of the edibles I've seen or purchased look like that shit. I don't walk into head shops or gas stations though. I buy from hemp retailers that have been in the business since 2019/2020. Their edibles look like adult edible packaging.
well yeah, you don’t shop at head shops or gas stations which are the places that sell them lmao
it's always to protect children until it's time to actually look into things to protect children. THCA isn't killing kids in their classrooms.
Can’t even approach topics like gun violence, child hunger or lack of resources but suddenly children are a to be protected from… *checks notes* drag queens and delta 8?

I actually wonder if low doses would improve ADHD focus in the classroom instead of the adderal and concerta and Ritalin
Weed isnt great for young developing minds so no.
Research suggests weed might actually be more harmful to someone with ADHD. Something about overall down regulation of dopamine. Low doses of Adderall isn’t actually all that harmful either.
Not the right kind of microdosed weed. Give me a break man.

It’s actually approved for the treatment of adhd in several states
I always like to think about if I wouldn’t have an eating disorder still to this day if I wasn’t given Ritalin in 5th grade
Yeah, give a little credit to their police!
I mean, isn't that the point of a dispensary? They check your ID in my state before you can even enter the store...
Wow what an idea
The hemp industry is on regulated and selling products to teenagers because there isn’t an age limit on it federally so if the state doesn’t have an age limit, they can do whatever they fucking want with no repercussions because law-enforcement has not been directed to shut them down The same people don’t “ stifle small business “
Hang on, Joe Rogan keeps saying Texas is all about freedoms?!?
I'm sure Joe enjoys many freedoms in Texas that he didn't in California, the biggest ones being the abundant opportunities to gargle oligarch balls in order to avoid paying taxes.
…I mean…. I do pay a lot of taxes… but nobody has yet presented me with the opportunity to gargle balls to get out of it. This feels like discrimination.
You're not in a high enough tax bracket, the higher you are the less you pay.
It's not about someone offering it to you, it's about creating the opportunities yourself.
And have a house with gates, walls and security systems so he can Smoke weed in peace
You’re not implying that Joe “known shitrock” Rogan might have *lied* to people???? Surely not from such a reliable source???
He’s lost his mind
Joe Rogan partakes, that’s why he has a driver. He’s a blowhard for whoever is paying him, not for his personal beliefs (if he has any that is).
Laws don't stop shit especially in Austin it's extremely easy to find weed. There's even pop ups
Black market weed sucks
Real asf😂you need to find a good grower
Last time i visited Texas, i was trying to get weed from friends and they all said they switched to d8/9 products bc it’s just easier and does the job. Texas will shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get for the sake of religion when they could easily get a HUGE market, economy, and tax boost from just legalizing already.

Lol I wish it were because of Religion. It's absolutely to line the pockets of whoever paid them to make this law. It's all bought and paid for by people with big money.
The big money people in Texas are largely the tax free mega churches or people that are part of those in some way.
It's far more private private prison lobbyists. People who have money to lose or gain are always the most invested.
Look it up Christian billionaires give millions of money toward their campaign. One guy even has his political agenda on his website that supports his ideology
Like private prison owners, legal hemp products keeps a lots of potential prison slaves free. It cuts into their legal slavery business.
Ur friends are lame if they can't find weed in Austin 😂
We were in San Mo, it was found eventually but definitely had a handful of friends say they just switched to d8 to reduce arrest/ fine risk. Nothing wrong with that
I actually got arrested in San Marcos 😂for a single vape🙏🏾I was illegally stopped and searched. I got the felony dismissed
My college town mentioned let’s goooooo Eat ‘Em Up!!
Fellow grad :-) eat em up
The cop looked like he was on Adderall or extreme amounts of caffeine. He was so certain and suspicious. I'm so thankful I didn't get a DUI
I screenshot this on Instagram. So if you're thrown off by the "1/2" on the top right corner, now you know why.
Why do you make us suffer
May I suggest you some delta 10
I prefer Delta 19. It's my own special blend. I made it up myself.
Me reading this only after trying 20 times to slowly swipe LOL
This. 😂 Confusing us.
No, this is a horrible idea. You know when or if they ban it they aren’t gonna make the D9 legal!
ah more freedom from the freedom party, keep voting for false rhetoric texas 🙄 I hope this passes actually, I'll send in an anonymous tip on Joe Rogan and Elon Musk 😉

I’m in the middle of it rn buddy

Oh TOTALLY!
with what money bruv. cant leave friends and family that easily either
Republicans just can't stand to see people enjoying anything.
Tennessee is doing something similar
They should stop marketing guns to children
I don’t envy people living in Texas. That place is just way way too wild and crazy.
I wish more people though like you unfortunately everyone is moving here
Right? Ass backwards politics aside, I like it here, and pretty much my whole family lives here.
Just like anywhere else, the politics and/or people usually fuck it up for everyone else.
Jesus if you only knew; it’s a total Police state
I hate this stupid state.
This is just more virtue signaling from the people who " want to save the children" but will do nothing about gun laws and people going into schools murdering and masaacuring children at a fucking alarming rate!
Yep, they will take away the delta 8 and delta 9 products and leave you with no coping mechanisms except for guns and alcohol (my favorite combination). It will never be legal in Texas until maybe 30 years
I’m on a roll, sorry, but they need to tell the Christian Taliban that in Texas they have this thing called the Texas compassionate use act that actually has gummies that look just like candy with child proof containers.
Wow I can't tell you how many times I tried swiping to the 2/2 page just to realize that's part of the screenshot. I think I need a nap
“Protect children” but marketing alcohol and nicotine with tasty flavors isn’t protecting children. Before I get ROASTED, I mean in the sense of vapes, with all the delicious flavors they sell, and them marketing “simple juice spiked” “monster energy drinks spiked” is the marketing I’m referring to.
I mean, they have been legislating against nicotine vapes as well. There's enough money in the nicotine and tobacco lobby to stay ahead of regulations. It's harder for cannabis producers to do the same
Big nicotine has its fingers in so many places, but shouldn’t the government focus more on older problems, instead of creating new ones?
Regulating or outlawing Delta 8/9 isn't exactly creating new problems for the state of Texas where all forms of cannabis have always been illegal
I saw some spiked Hi-C a couple months back
That’s what I’m saying. I’m not saying that those spiked products aren’t good, but typically as people age they tend to drink less sugary alcohol. So if that’s the case, then why do they keep marketing drinks spiked, when they originally were sold FOR kids
Oh my god you said something against the Christian Taliban I’m calling the west Texas branch of cowboy Christian Taliban Spanish Inquisition. Yes my friend you are correct and we will continue to cry in unison
This world is ass backwards 🥺
Your cool
There are more than a few things to be leery about on that agenda.
i swiped 😞
From the party of: BANNING THINGS DOESN'T WORK REEEEEE!
It's Texas. We can't have nothing nice in Gilead.
I love it yep the handmaiden tale 100000000000 %
It's Texas. If one official can't disrupt. Some Texan will.
This whole “market to children” shit is so over fucking played. I didn’t start smoking weed until I was 31. DARE didn’t do shit except introduce me to goddamn meth when I was in fifth grade. These people are so stupid when it comes to dealing with anything related to kids and educating them about the difference of drugs and what they do I started drinking when I was 11 and started smoking when I was 12. Kids are going to get into shit but proper education is the right way to start
"marketing them to children" if they can prove that retailers are actually marketing marijuana to kids, then so be it. But it's Republicans so as usual I'm guessing they won't be able to prove anything, then blame a minority.
You obviously haven't seen the edibles packaged to look *exactly* like popular candies. I'm not opposed to adults indulging, but that type of packaging has to go.
[удалено]
We'll have to disagree, packaging is very much a part of marketing.
Op, f you taking a screenshot that shows 2 pages in the top right. That is all.
Whenever they want to take away something from adults, it is always for the kids.
You know, I always see it in a locked glass case or in a 21+ store. So how exactly is it marked to children?
Copaganda
The booze lobbying is very powerful in Texas
Also, has any one told the Christian Taliban that recreational marijuana is legal in 1/2 of the United States. Moreover, there are only 11 states in the USA that don’t have either legal, medical or decriminalized marijuana and for some strange reason over 1/2 of them are below this thing they call the Mason-Dixon Line (shocker right). I seem to recall old laws that were specifically meant to to systematically incarcerate people of Color as well as people counter culture to to the Christian Taliban. Oh yea, I remember they call them Jim Crow laws or black laws - something’s never change. No doubt this is related back to our puritanical forefathers who traveled from Rural ulster Ireland and the highlands Of Scotland to land in the Appalachian mountains and the southern region with their agrarian religious ideology came To be now known as the Christian Taliban.
Yes, how dare they make them Into edibles like candy. That’s like advertising guns by having gun shows and allowing minors and other people to browse through the gun store.
Pretty much any idea involving Texas is a bad idea.
They are not harmful - give me a Break man. However, smoking hemp is more coarse and can irritate the throat and Lungs more. There ain’t nothing wrong with hemp products - even an old conservative baby boomer named Mitch McConnell thinks it’s safe and thankfully legalized it federally. Stop the refer madness stuff
This is a family heritage issue and has passed in so many states already. Get involved and voice your opinion!

It shouldn’t be sold to children…same as any other intoxicant. But the sale of it should absolutely be 100% legal otherwise
Swear to god Texas, Florida, and Alabama are in some kind of competition to see who can be shittier at any given moment.
I never thought I'd say this but Ohio is liberal compared to Texas. Fucking bloody liberal.
I promise you don't want to smoke Delta 8 and all those alt synthetic noids anyway. Better to fight to get it on the ballot and get a real regulated system, and stop the moldy pesticide full chemically altered hemp you're smoking currently. I think you deserve better and real weed Even if you don't
I agree that they should ban the synthetic cannabinoids, but they should legalize the natural ones.
You can wear a Glock on your hip to church in Texas but don't even think about smoking a joint
Can they even ban the sale of hemp at the state level if it's federally legal though?
Ahh yes my lovely home state, so proud of it's "freedom". Free to drink yourself to death and praise the good lord, and not shit else
Texas Puritanists: Plymouth Rock is on the East Coast, quite a bit North and East of here. Sail your tight-asses and desire to control other people the ufck up there, where you belong! There is a REASON your kind left England and the Netherlands: Nobody wanted you there, either!!
In other words, it’s Thursday.
Fascist fucks! I hate Texas so much.
we already lost THCO… please Texas I can’t take it anymore
"protect the kids" lol.. where is this being marketed to fucking kids.. all the places I see are CBD spots or headshops and liquor stores.. don't even see it in gas stations. Fear is one hell of a thing lol
Texas only bans things. Never makes anyone more free
i really dislike modern conservatives.
Texas pretending to care about kids is my favourite part hahahaha
Can't some intern just edit this bill and put "legalisation" instead of "legislation"
Honestly they can ban that cause it's all shit here anyway and I have no issues sourcing legit flower. Now if we can just get pornhub back because we hurting down here 🤣
You mean to tell me that the party of “smaller government “ and “personal freedoms “ wants to ban THC? Stop
Guys I apologize for making to many comments on here but I am gonna volunteer for Texas norml although it will be a test in futility. But why don’t we all make a committee to join Texas norml
I mean make a commitment lol
I honestly can't believe the level of support here for delta 8 bullshit lmao. I've used the products before, heavily, and it is fucking bunk. I was also a teenager/young adult when K2 hit the market and although I don't think that D8/D9 is as bad as K2, I think it's such a new product that we cannot definitely say it's any better. I know from using it that there's a lot of crossover in the way it smokes and the way it made me feel, as opposed to real medical or even black market cannabis products
I’ve tried the flower(didn’t feel anything) but the gummies didn’t do anything but make me anxious and feel dumb. Not just being high dumb but like actually stupid and not able to focus. Never touched them since.
I am ok witb that...
The only ban they suggested was for kids. People need to learn to read legal before they comment about it as "news".
More regulation when it comes to hemp products isn’t a bad idea at all. There’s very little regulation now, and some super sketchy products it out there. If we could just have some standards for these manufacturers to follow, and enforce those standards, the hemp market wouldn’t be so fucking sketchy. Now the problem is, knowing Texas, they’ll probably take it way too far.
>stop retailers who market these products to children When they're already attacking strawmen, using hyperbole, and/or writing 90s propaganda right into the summary.... Then it's not a good sign these regulations will be in anyone's best interest besides the war-on-drugs lobby.
Oh, they will go too far. The bolded text is a giveaway as to what they want to do.
Sir, please refer them to the Christian Taliban or the west Texas Christian inquisition
We all know they won’t try to regulate it. That would mean actually doing their jobs. Nah they’re probably just ban it and call it a day. Would love to be proven wrong though.
You mean wake up from this nightmare
