Chance of Texas Legalizing Marijuana?

[Lobo27]

This Kinky guy seems like some character.

2. Not good in the short-term, though Texans are out in front

of the FR on this.

Of the Southern states, IMO Florida is the best shot because, unlike Texas, can get a measure on the ballot.

3. Texans have traditionally been the assholes that bush down the door in Carlin bits.

4. Kinky is a character! Some of what he says is good, some is a bunch of Libertarian BS.

I have a chronic condition (no pun intended) that would be greatly helped by medical pot, I hope it passes.

5. Think about it...

... we need to see more red states legalizing MJ. Those guys need to chill out! Relax. Learn how to be nice to someone other than themselves. If MJ is a gateway to anything, wouldn't it be obesity? Heck, they might mellow out so well that they'll start turning their guns in and committing outright acts of kindness. Start apologizing to everyone they've been mean to all their lives. I see a revival here! If there was just a way to get MJ in those backwoods churches, instead of snakes, that would be "Far out!" (said like John Denver said it, with a big grin on his sweet face.)

If anyone could get the ball rolling, it's Kinky Friedman. Go Kinky!

6. Maybe in Austin, but....

...its highly unlikely that the entire state will hop on board.
