Are you telling me fucking Texas got some form of legal weed before Wisconsin????? What???? And it was in 2021?????

Man, my state fucking sucks. We’ll probably be one of the last, and they already missed the boat for that tax money. States bordering have mostly had it long enough that their markets are getting flooded with cheap product, so when we do finally legalize, we aren’t going to be able to charge much. Hell the last time I went I hit the legal per-transaction max and spent about half the cash I had planned (previously I’d run out of money well before hitting the max).

Weed is federally legal since president cheetoh signed the farm bill in 2018. You can order it online and the usps will deliver it to your house.

Source - I'm high right now from stuff that showed up on my doorstep.

Edit-typos. See?

Correction it is federal de criminalized which is still a far cry from legal

I believe decriminalization means it's illegal to purchase but when you're caught with small amounts you face a fine instead of jail time. I'm talking about fully legal, order it online from reputable farms or vendors, and USPS delivers it to your door. I live in Texas and i get an ounce delivered every month on subscription.

How is it legal? Can you please explain.

The farm bill allows thc testing to occur 30 days pre harvest - when many cannabinoids have not yet formed (they all begin as cbg and become cbda, thca, etc. during later growth) and showing it to be labeled hemp. Post-harvest testing is only for delta 9 thc which is what thca become when heated, but thca is not limited. You can search for high THCA products but be careful because there are lots of scammers. I can dm you some good vendors. This is kind of a short version. If you'd like to know more, just search for info on the 2018 farm bill or Rod Kight, a well-known cannabis lawyer. People sometimes call it a loophole, but it's obviously intentional. I love that this bill was written by people who wanted it legal and then Trump signed it (knowing or not knowing?). One more thing - big canna is apparently just as bad as big pharma and has begun fighting against hemp farmers/vendors.

I live in Texas too and definitely interested. Have been trying to get off my migraine med.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Imo, and others i've spoken with, cbg works better for migraines than cbd or thc. If you do use cbd or thc, Make sure you get plenty of water. Try the oils from Lazarus naturals or hoku seed company.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Customers will receive a free doctor’s appointment and, if they qualify, Texas Original will cover the prescription cost.

In Texas, medical cannabis is only available to people with doctor-certified debilitating conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and cancer.

The Austin-based company’s unique promotion is intended to create an entry point for those who can benefit from the state’s compassionate use program, said Texas Original CEO Nico Richardson.

The Hurst pickup location at 760 Airport Freeway, Suite 300 D, is the company’s sixth in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Because smoking marijuana in Texas is illegal for recreational or medical reasons, patients can only buy capsules, oils, topical creams and patches.

This year, legislation like House Bill 1805 would have given Texans with other chronic pain conditions access to medicinal cannabis, but it failed to pass the Senate despite support from Republicans and Democrats.


I'm a bot and I'm open source!
