Ken Paxton sues five Texas cities that decriminalized marijuana

Voters in Austin, San Marcos, Killeen, Elgin and Denton approved the policies in 2022. The attorney general said the ordinances are inconsistent with laws enacted by the Texas Legislature.

When my dad was dying & I went to🇰🇷I brought marijuana cartridges w/me.. ended up needing them for myself

Prior visits he warned me🇰🇷had strict drug laws &🦮at airport but never saw them & thought he was messing with me

“Hard drugs” in🇰🇷 just so everyone knows, is considered marijuana which this article doesn’t mention, so I thought I might. Obviously there’s other club drugs but it’s not heroin & cocaine like this article would naturally make one think

Funnily enough I don’t consume pot anymore (when I did it was prolific Snoopy Dog Level, yes I know it’s Snoop) but still believe #decriminalizeMarijuana

#bigPharma will have none of it as then most of their drugs would be irrelevant

The hybrids & different effects are amazing these days & not your mother’s marijuana🍃🥬🌲

#HumanRightsViolationsBuiltIn: The return of 1990s-style stop-and-frisk policing in Eric Adams' NYC has been a civil-liberties disaster — with more racial profiling, a spike in unconstitutional stops, and little impact in crime. So why is Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker still planning to bring this bad policy to Philadelphia?

Mayor-elect Parker will make a big mistake if she repeats NYC’s stop-and-frisk abuses

Eric Adams brought stop-and-frisk policing — and racial profiling — back to NYC. Will Philly's new mayor copy his mistakes?
