I have to admit feeling delight at seeing marijuana stores opening up around me. I don't even use it or have much interest in using it, but it still feels "free" to see the stores and ads.
Of course, I live right on the Texas/New Mexico line, and on the Texas side, the politicians are falling all over themselves to "inform" the people how extraordinarily dangerous Cannabis has recently been discovered to be. Sounds like a retread of "Reefer Madness" to me.
But, just over the state line, a building was quickly erected recently. Everyone wondered what it was going to be. Well, a couple of weeks ago, when the new rules took effect, a sign went up and declared it a weed store.
Here's a picture of it from the Texas side of the line. The concrete pylon between it and me is the "official" state line marker.
I expect the Texas legislation enforcement gangsters are watching the cars that leave the store and drive east. Targeting them for molestation. What's stopping these thugs? They've already threatened to do so. I really despise them, for so many reasons.
Next, of course, I'd like to see the "tax" part of "legalize and tax it" abolished, but it won't be. Not until the Age of Government ends-- which can't come soon enough for me.
Actually, I'd like to see marijuana and gun vending machines. But then, I value liberty over everything.
