The Texas Legislature is the only governmental body on earth that could accidentally legalize pot.

Oh yeah. They did.

You can read the whole story right about here. Here’s the short story: Texas redefined hemp this year so that it can be a legal crop. However, in doing so they made it damn near impossible to determine what is legal or illegal amounts of THC in said hemp. It can be done, but the only known machine that can do it costs almost half a million dollars.

Already we are spending close what it costs to land on Boardwalk with two hotels to prosecute marijuana users and even more to “rehabilitate” them for using a product that’s legal in ten states and medically legal in 33.

So, now Texas DA’s – especially those in large cities – are saying they are not going to prosecute cases that will be overturned on appeal.

The Texas legislature meets every two years so for the next two years, it’s Cheech and Chong time in Texas, thanks to a bunch of legislators who were probably high or drunk when they wrote the bill.

UPDATE: and it’s spreading …

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
