hot take: this is actually a great thing for social media apps to have especially when heroin chic is coming back in full swing. i think all posts that showcase any unrealistic body type or standards should have a message like this honestly.
Dan Patrick pushed for a statewide THC ban while receiving $350,000 from Silver Eagle Beverages (a major Anheuser-Busch beer distributor) and $50,000 from the Beer Alliance of Texas PAC right before he banned the hell outta your gummies
.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”
Hemp/THC products are now a felony in TX.
A DUI isn’t a felony until 3 DUI’s.
Over 13,000 alcohol related deaths each year in TX.
0 Hemp/THC related deaths ever because = harmless plant.
The ban will cost the industry $7.5 billion dollars and 40,201 jobs in TX. Around $260 million in annual sales tax disappears, with an estimated $10.2 billion reduction in economic activity overall.
Who benefits financially? Alcohol companies, state government from insane regulatory fees, prison systems.
@aspenkatana I’ve never really gotten my hair done b4 but I don’t remember my sister or mom having to go through this growing up
the new stylist are trippin with these fees lol
On this day in 2006, we released the Here It Goes Again music video. This video cost less than $5,000 and was shot in 17 very sweaty takes, but it took us to the Grammys, the VMAs, and to the email inboxes of millions of people (you couldn’t share videos to social media back then).
20 years later, we actually now can share this to social media. Enjoy!

just saw the new THC laws in Texas and they’re saying having under 1 gram is an automatic felony and up to 2 years in jail and having under 4 grams is up to 10 years….
Your power bills are gonna triple and say goodbye to clean water - just deal with it. Imagine being stupid enough to vote for this fat orange deranged cunt
@aspenkatana One of the reasons I’m trying to move back, I was living in a 3bed 2bath duplex with a garage & backyard for $1200
meanwhile in MI I’m paying a lil more than that for 1bed 1bath apartment w/no garage or backyard and quality is far worse too
I’m starting to think that DTE is using some random number generator to decide the price of my bill every month b/c I’m not understanding how they are charging me $330 for a 1 bedroom apartment even after looking at the usage…
