I was diagnosed with cancer in 2022 and life hasn't been the same since. I started chemotherapy but life hasn't been easy. I've lost many liberties life once had for me, but now it's been extremely difficult to go by day to day without feeling immense pain and mental distress. Having body aches and severe vomiting has been a difficult dilemma in my chemotherapy journey. But, with the help of THC and CBD, It has made my life much bearable, as now its easier to withhold myself from vomiting and my body aches are easier to deal with. Taking away the liberty of using THC from Americans like me, can cause many to make a change for the worse. Please rethink your choice and help people like me attain a better living condition than the one I've had before.
As someone who has treatment resistant depression and severe insomina+anxiety Marijuana has been a lifesaver even when the strongest benzodiazpines don't work strong thc will help, it can help alot of people and help bring more tax money into the state.
As someone with insomnia THC has done wonders as far as a sleep aid that isn’t hard on the body. I also know countless other people who benefit from it with ailments ranging from anxiety and depression to PTSD and intense chronic pain. Some could be your grandparents or the old veteran you know with PTSD. Outlawing THC could force thousand of these vulnerable people with problems they have an answer to into a black market that they otherwise might have nothing to do with which I personally find to be incredibly unfair.
I live with autoimmune disease and THC helps with chronic pain everyday. Pills have destroyed my liver I need THC. Please stop banning good things for Texas.
70% of Texans want cannabis to be legal in some form. Even most Republicans want legal cannabis. Very few Texans actually want cannabis to remain entirely illegal. This means that eventually, cannabis will become legal. The Republican government of this state is fighting the future, their voter base, and Texans as a whole.
Putting aside public opinion and politics, there are no good reasons to take away the legal cannabis we already have; for public safety? Cannabis is safer in every way than the already legal vices of alcohol and tobacco.
To protect the children? It’s as easy for children to buy legal cannabis from a dispensary as it is for children to buy legal alcohol from a liquor store.
To keep harmful or contaminated cannabis off the streets? It would be significantly harder, if not impossible, to perform quality control and harm reduction with illegal cannabis, because illegal drug dealers aren’t subject to health and safety standards, but legal businesses are.
Prohibition does not work. It has never worked, so why enact an unpopular policy whose only real effect is turning otherwise law-abiding Texans into criminals?
This law is asinine, antiquated, and immoral, and as someone who has voted Republican in nearly every election, I can guarantee that I will never vote for any supporter of this policy ever again, and I will work as hard as I can to ensure no one I know does either.
