Business

I recently took a trip from here to Austin. I find that 7 hours (I like to stop a lot) very relaxing with tons of great places to stop and small towns to motor through. Some of these towns are basically nothing, but I noticed that more than a few had a brand new smoke shop. Yes, even the smallest of Texas towns get a little business shot-in-the-arm from these places. A lot of them are successful because they sell vape products, but also because they stock Delta 8 and Delta 9.

The Market

The fact is, Texans as a whole want these products, and as a matter of fact, most want full on legalization of marijuana. It just seems the "pro" forces don't donate to the right political campaigns or even organize properly. The "War On Drugs", specifically marijuana and derivative products have taught generations that the best way to take care of their needs is to not ask the government for permission, but to just hit up the black market.

The Ban

Now comes the virtue-signaling of Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. He wants to abolish the sale of the Deltas, and it really doesn't matter who is hurt in the process. It looked like he had the agriculture commissioner standing in his way for a hot minute, but now it looks like it might be smooth sailing for a total ban on these products.

Quit Supporting This Nonsense

Texas has truly reached an age of ridiculousness. Texas all want these things, and they provide an economic boost for even the tiniest of towns, but we have a state government that "knows what's good for you". This is something to watch closely, because Texas is about to force a bunch of people to turn back to the black market, and it can be a very dangerous place.

Dangerous, Exotic Animals You Can Now Legally Own in Texas

Texas has an estimated 7.2 million dogs, more than any other state. But perhaps you’re interested in branching out a bit and adding a less common exotic pet to your home.

Granted a few of these exotics are regulated and will require permits.
