In a shocking turn of events, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has publicly called out Governor Greg Abbott for vetoing a last-minute bill that would have legalized the use of THC in the state. The bill, which was passed by the Texas legislature with overwhelming support, was set to revolutionize the state’s approach to cannabis regulation. But in a move that has left many scratching their heads, Governor Abbott decided to veto the bill at the eleventh hour, much to the dismay of Lt. Governor Patrick.
In a fiery press conference, Lt. Governor Patrick expressed his disappointment in Governor Abbott’s decision, stating, “I can’t believe Governor Abbott would veto such an important bill. This was our chance to finally embrace the benefits of THC and move Texas into the 21st century. It’s a real missed opportunity.”
When asked for comment, Governor Abbott responded with a cryptic message, saying, “I stand by my decision to veto the THC bill. Texas has always been a state that values tradition and I believe we should continue to uphold those values.”
However, sources close to the Governor have revealed that his decision may have been influenced by a recent encounter with a particularly potent batch of brownies that left him seeing unicorns for hours on end.
In response to Governor Abbott’s comments, Lt. Governor Patrick quipped, “Maybe Governor Abbott should lay off the brownies if he wants to make sound decisions for the state. Just a thought.”
The veto has sparked outrage among many Texans, with one citizen, John Smith, stating, “I was really looking forward to being able to legally purchase THC products in Texas. Now I guess I’ll have to stick to smuggling them in from Colorado.”
As the debate rages on, it seems that the fate of THC legalization in Texas hangs in the balance. Will Governor Abbott reconsider his decision? Only time will tell. In the meantime, Lt. Governor Patrick is making plans to introduce a new bill that would legalize the use of magic mushrooms in the state. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
