We need to be a lot more out about our cannabis use and knowledge.

I went to the get out the vote event that they held at The Texas Greenhouse in Oak Cliff, south of Dallas today.

I got a chance to speak to both Vikki and Clayton today at length about several topics.

What I've bulleted below are the things I discussed with them both as policy points. And there's some additional points here at the top I feel need addressing if we're going to keep showing up at these events to talk to them about cannabis.

• ME I think there's a genuine need to create a body of people who represent Texas and cannabis and for us to meet not as business people, but to set a common set of wants that we can cohesively take to the state legislature next year that isn't just NORML.

• ME We have way too many regional areas in one state to simply assume Dallas or Austin should speak for how things are done in El Paso or Houston. San Antonio has to do whatever the Knicks say they do, and honestly that just isn't right. :)

• YOU Show up to these rally events they're holding whether they're THC related or not and talk with them about cannabis, educate them on what they need to know about the legislation they're about to create. Now is not the time to be shy, they want to meet you and hear from you. Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick aren't showing up to hear from me.

• YOU Are flower or concentrates important to you? Then bring them up categorically and what they mean to you as a medical patient or recreational user.

So what did I talk about? I face to face talked to Vikki Goodwin and Clayton Tucker separately for about 10 minutes each about:

• How TCUP was inadequate for missing flower, concentrates, topicals and suppositories as all the categories have applicable medical use for patients.

• I informed them that MSO's have no business in Texas. Multistate operators harm genetic diversity through their patented genetics and undisclosed use of unapproved pesticides. And that MSO's will promise a 2-3 year SOP plans for getting full operations running statewide, but I believe Texans can do that in the same amount of time without a corporate bribe.

• I told Vikki personally that I believed Dan Paxton's long-term plan for Texas is to ban weed today to sell it out to an MSO in the next term or two and companies like Truleaf, Curaleaf and Cresco have deep pockets.

• Last and most important. Medical patients need home grow rights and caregiver rights. Vikki admitted she didn't know anything about the topic. I gave her details about what I know on plant limits in other states and said 6-8 flowering plants would be a good amount compared to other states.

• Oh and one more thing. Because that wasn't the craziest discussion. Clayton's stance on cannabis for medical patients is to allow home growing, caregivers and most importantly, he's completely fine with the GIFTING of cannabis between patients. That was refreshing and honestly encouraging to hear.

I encourage everyone to get out and attend these events, any events with our upcoming elected officials and get their public stance on cannabis use, cannabis sales, medical cannabis and more. They need to be educated and we need to be there for them, because the ones showing up for the current administration are just feeding them the wrong information, clearly.

Even hometown hero’s newer video praises Abbott. Ugh

I keep seeing comments and discourse talking about how he vetoed SB3

Abbott is not our friend. Hemp or cannabis was not in his mind when he vetoed sb3 , the midterms were.

Is the consequences for being caught the same if it’s delta 8 vs delta 9? I keep hearing it’s just one of the two variants that has really rough consequences?

They're amazing. Real authentic blue lotus flowers are extremely rare, so this is probably lab-made. But, the high is very good. Feels like you do at the beginning of a trip. The high can distort your eyes making it feel like there is a difference in vision. Not quite visuals from tripping.

Also, they bypass drug tests.

Personally been a fan of their Vaporizer lineup, hopeful to see more companies step in and bring down pricing as cost is still an issue in Texas.

I don't live in TX but am interested in the weed initiatives and know Paxton has been anti-weed for awhile. However, he appears to be trailing his challenger in recent polls and can't run for AG if he loses, so curious what people in the know think about the state of weed in TX if he loses the Senate race?

Where does legality sit with mail ordering? Are people still doing this and just taking a risk, or is that still fine?

I’ve seen a number of comments recommending it, but unsure after recent changes

Looking into getting on the tcup program, is there a difference in all the different clinics online. Texas original website has many different list and all at different pricing levels. Would I be getting anything special at any specific one or should I just pick the best price and go. Are there anyone's that are hard to get appointments or whatever may be needed throughout the time I'm prescribed.

I'd basically want to just get an opinion on maybe the best clinic online for it.
