Oklahoma will turn blue next. This is how Texas turned blue.

I’m warning you now so we can get ahead. If the GOP continues war on cannabis we will lose everything. Republicans sponsored this bill and then voted for it 👇🏻
Senate Bill 1257 changed the classification of THC from a Schedule III controlled dangerous substance to Schedule I. bit.ly/4jcA0jJ
“Charlie Kirk is looking up at us”
- Dave Chappelle
Everyone's missing what really happened at Dave Chappelle's show... after he joked about Charlie Kirk's murder. I was in the front row. It was terrifying trib.al/kOF5Hj6

This could be Alabama but we love to be poor. Look at where the taxes from hemp went to 👇🏻 $267,000,000 🤯
“Public education, health and human services, public safety, and related budget items. A portion of overall sales tax above certain thresholds also transfers to the State Highway Fund”
People use cannabis and schools get extra money, streets gets paved for you to drive on, and public health. We could get creative and put it towards the national debt and let cannabis users pay of the debt 🔥
GOP needs to get on board or get fired. We will be done.
The $267.7 million figure is an industry estimate of state sales tax (at the 6.25% rate) on roughly $4.3 billion in hemp-derived cannabinoid retail sales.
It flowed into Texas’s General Revenue Fund like all other state sales tax collections. The Legislature then appropriated that money for general state operations—primarily public education, health and human services, public safety, and related budget items. A portion of overall sales tax above certain thresholds also transfers to the State Highway Fund, but there was no special earmark for the hemp revenue itself.

I told yall this was a green wave not a blue one. These midterms were about cannabis. Republicans must embrace and lead on this before Dems get control and we can snatch it away from them. It’s not risky. 80% of Americans support it. It’s almost as popular as the save America act

Democrats are getting whipped about the Hegseth impeachment 😂
😬 Rep. Jonathan Jackson told @hicharliecotton he couldn't wait another day to impeach Pete Hegseth... but somehow couldn't take a few more steps to the House floor for a vote.
Never voted blue in their entire life but voted straight blue this time because of cannabis!
I TOLD YALL. THIS WAS A GREEN WAVE! I won’t lie, I considered it.
Alabama SNATCHED ours away two years ago and it has been HORRIBLE. Thousands of jobs and businesses lost, people pushed back to the streets, and medicine has been taken from people. We’ve BEEN PISSED. The difference is in Texas their ban just recently happened so people were still steaming as where my state had calmed. Wake up republicans!

$5 federal transaction fee?!?!?
Maybe $1 😂
Legalize marijuana nationwide. Tax the hell out of it. Add a $5 federal fee to every transaction and put that money directly toward paying down our national debt.
Let the pot smokers help pay off Nation’s debt.
Hell, I’ll be the first one to contribute.
We’re going to smoke this national debt down one joint at a time…. May take us about 20 years, but what’s your plan?
What the fck are we doing in the south? Poor ass Alabama could use the money…
The people want cannabis!
Legal marijuana sales across the U.S. reached at least $2.6 billion in October, setting a new monthly record and bringing the estimated total for the first ten months of 2026 to $24.2 billion, according to an analysis by The Marijuana Herald. themarijuanaherald.com/2026/…
I can’t believe Texas is about to be able to grow their own cannabis while I still can’t even smoke a joint at night on my back porch….
TEXAS, I fought for you now you need to help me put pressure on my reps. Ever since your ban I’ve spoke about it because I felt bad for yall going through what we did two years prior. I know the feeling so I spoke. Now help me in AL!
LEGALIZE IT!
I don’t drink
I don’t take prescription meds
I just want cannabis to help me relax and sleep!
No recorded vote today.
Time to primary Katie Britt.
Never blame the democrats for failing to self examine again. How could you elect John Thune again?!?!?
USELESS
@SenKatieBritt
Please note: there are a LOT of Republicans in Alabama that will do the same.
If there's a non-recorded voice vote tomorrow, and Thune is reelected as the GOP Senate lead, then the assumption will be that you voted for him.
And you will join John Cornyn.
