PedroMartinez in #7 summed up my thoughts exactly. The Lavoro case in Austin is crazy and is proof why we need to decriminalize pot/hash oil. I don't want the District Attorney running after a 19 year old with a brownie pan, I want my District Attorney getting drunks off the roads and perverts away from molesting children, not getting 19 year olds out of a kitchen baking brownies with hash oil.

Yes, so the state can put a large vice tax on it and help make up for the fact that we don't have a state income tax. Maybe we could even lower property tax as a result.

Now here is the problem - Kinky was running for Ag Commish against an unknown guy named Jim Hogan, but lost in the run-off 104,000 to 89,000. Kinky was running on a platform to legalize pot and pretty much no other reason. I know, it ain't the gov or lt gov, but still, you couldn't get 15,000 more 'stoners' (for lack of a shorter title) to vote him in? I mean, how many voters are in this state that would support that?

There is a no vote and out of 64 people that voted in this poll, only 12 said no. What does that tell you?

Actually, it says 'probably no', not 'no'.

And that just means that 12 people clicked that button. Doesn't tell you anything else, really.
