It doesn't surprise me at all that we're getting all the cartels rolling into Tx - if it weren't for stupid fucks like Dan Patrick (& all the rest of their dumbfuck friends), we cld have taken steps towards legalization. I keep saying that Repubs are missing out on A Lot of $$$ by trying to stomp out the use of marijuana rather than legalizing it to make $$. Greg Abbot, the whiny baby ass-kissing hot wheels, has a "rainy day" fund (which I started hearing abt 15+ yrs ago) of Billions that Shld Have Gone to fixing our poor education system & repair broken infrastructure (some of which have been compromised since Katrina [remember That one which tried to erase southern Louisiana?!]). Orrrr some of that pile of $ cld be used to help set up systems of production & sales of marijuana that wld make the state More income (& maybe we cld let our children eat at school without having to do all the paperwork). Duh.

So if Texas were to legalize, state regulate it and tax its sale they would take in about 99% of the money currently going to the cartels correct?

So to me it seems like the cartels would be vehemently opposed to legalization

Given Lt. Governor Patrick's strident opposition to hemp-sourced THC products, I don't see that happening soon. -Thanks for your comment!

That’s my point. Patrick is an idiot and I’d wager he’s on the Pharma payroll.

Thank you for the update, the news we don’t hear anywhere else. I’m glad you are bringing it to us. As a Texan it’s natural to want to know about these kinds of bust and statistic.
