What a shit hole

Damn, I legally bought in the last year, in the same country, enough to get life in prison.

400 grams is just over the legal possession limit in Oklahoma… literally a neighboring state.

Seems about right for Texas. I wonder what the minimum penalties are.

If you're within 10 blocks of 1 gram of weed they get to shoot you non-lethally and take your children.

Tell me more about the "take your children" clause. Ours are teenagers and we could use a break.

Have you tried sending them to the oil fields? Drill baby drill!

Is this what freedom feels like?

I see its explicitly UNDER 1g. I can buy a 1g joint for $1, legally. With the paper and packaging, which they always weight to bump up the number, that's over 1g. So a single $1 joint from any of the surrounding states and you're now a felon facing 10 years. For a single joint.

Please let Texas(and the whole south) seceded. The US would gain money by cutting off the south, they're the heaviest welfare drainers that contribute nothing.
