It’s Texas, I guarantee they don’t give two shits about getting that out. At some point, this fact must have come across Gimp Abbott’s desk, and he threw it in the trash.
They likely do. While they are extremely ineffectual, our state assistance agencies are staffed by very well intentioned people.
The problem is the corruption at the top, in political positions, and the idiots thinking they should pull the ladder up behind them by defunding everything that isn’t a police or roadway agency.
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).
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.
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.
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.
Good. There’s a reason that almost all sport is separated into men’s and woman’s leagues. Men have a massive physical advantage over women in a lot of sports and it is fundamentally unfair for women to have to compete with men.
Some train their whole life only to have a major victory denied because a man decided to compete in a woman’s category.
If they can’t/won’t compete with other men then trans people should have their own league.
A big thing people complain about is this “issue” is a just a straw man constructed by typically conservative leaders. It says in the article that there are no known openly transgender people competing in collegiate athletics.
Until there is and many non-trans women are hurt because of it. Being proactive is smart in this case… it’s happened elsewhere and thank god, Abbott spent 30m to get this bill prioritized. Simple legislation that got drawn up in a matter of days, swiftly voted on, then across his desk.
This is nothing about hate, it’s about god damn common sense. Men are stronger, faster, and more agile than women… period. End of story.
Would you rather there not be any separation? I’d be fine with that since Title 9 is a joke.
Abbott said the goal was to stop migrants from considering crossing the river. He has defended the hazard the buoys might pose by noting that migrants don’t risk drowning if they only cross at official points of entry.
“Abbott’s buoys are like a trap set for migrants,” she said. “This is a terrorizing situation. You don’t stop migration by setting death traps….You treat humans like human beings, not like animals.”
Swim up to the buoys, decide not to risk it and instead swim back to shore, but now your legs are entangled in the razor wire (oh, excuse me “sharp metal strips” according to the article) you didn’t see under the water.
Imagine the nightmare of trying to dive under the buoys and getting your head and arms entangled in the razor wire.
What a horrible and cruel way to die. It’s like something a Guantanamo Bay torturer would come up with as a “deterrent.”
This is horrible. Agreed on removing traps that can kill persons. But I would like to know how these buoys are a death trap. No mention on the article either. Any thoughts on how?
The article isn’t clear. “On or near the buoy” could mean a lot of things - clinging to a buoy or floating next to one, at the very least.
“Razor wire and drowning devices” is also mentioned specifically but without any details. Buoys that are linked together with razor wire? Seems pretty on-brand for Abbot, to be honest. “Getting entangled in the barrier” seems to support this.
They are floating balls that are covered in loops of razorwire, which hangs down underneath the bouy. They’re clearly designed to snare people who try to swim under them, which could result in drowning, bleeding to death, or even dying of hypothermia if trapped there for too long. The Rio Grande is not warm at night.
