In a shocking turn of events, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vetoed a bill that would have banned all THC products in the state. The bill, which was proposed by a group of anti-marijuana activists, aimed to crack down on the use of THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, in any form. However, Governor Abbott had other plans.
In a statement released by his office, Governor Abbott defended his decision, saying, “I simply cannot support a bill that would deprive Texans of their God-given right to enjoy a good ol’ joint every now and then. Besides, who doesn’t love a good pot brownie every once in a while?”
The news of the veto has caused a stir among Texas lawmakers, with some expressing outrage at Governor Abbott’s decision. State Senator Karen Johnson, who sponsored the bill, was reportedly seen storming out of the Capitol building, shouting, “I can’t believe this! This is a travesty! I was just trying to protect the children from the devil’s lettuce!”
On the other hand, supporters of the bill are celebrating the governor’s decision. Billy Bob Jenkins, a self-proclaimed “ganja enthusiast” from Austin, praised Governor Abbott for “standing up for our right to get high as a kite.” He added, “I was starting to worry that I might have to start growing my own weed, but now I can rest easy knowing that the dispensaries will stay open.”
As for the future of marijuana legislation in Texas, Governor Abbott remains optimistic. In a recent interview, he hinted at the possibility of legalizing recreational marijuana in the state, saying, “I believe in personal freedom and individual responsibility. If Texans want to light up a doobie, who am I to stand in their way?”
Only time will tell what the future holds for marijuana in Texas, but one thing is for sure – Governor Abbott is not afraid to blaze his own trail when it comes to cannabis legislation.
