At least that's what your colleges have said while they pat you on the back and give you awards. Its like giving their school a award . Hide all the bad and exaggerate the good . Just like most addicts and alcoholics you deny it . What is your reputation there in the ville where you live ?You have been there that long surely your known about . Consider this .

My first trip to Texas, I flew into Houston then San Antonio [fave city--but damn the alamo so tiny!] Then we rented a car and drove to the border.<br /><br />While we were flying from Houston to SA, we were discussing that i wanted to find a Target close by and take school supplies to Mexico. We were in first class 2 seats to right two at the left. when we were preparing to land a gentleman seated behind me handed me a map he and his travel mate had created depicting the airport, freeways and target stores. plus how to get back on the freeway and catch the 90. <br /><br />My sis and I were stunned. they overheard our dilemma and went to work. and we used the map because my travel gps was not working well. that was 14 years ago. a great memory because it exemplified how Texans are, if you need help, they show up, they don't wait to be asked. look at the hurricanes etc <br /><br />if only we all could have the heart and spirit of Texans.

I love texas and texans and if not for the weather i would call it home.<br /><br />there are books written about how it is the greatest charitable statee in the union. if i would have begun my foundation anywhere else i believe it would have failed. but because of texans who step up to help my work in mexico it was a colossal success in a short period of time. from nothing to being formally recognized for my work by the mx gov in 2 short years is amazing....and without Texans it would not have happened. <br /><br />Chivishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09608632774393266701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-78876471904619778482019-01-02T14:38:04.500-07:002019-01-02T14:38:04.500-07:00I have lived in Texas for almost 30 years and it i...I have lived in Texas for almost 30 years and it is a state inhabited by Neanderthals.

The problem is with the legalization of “recreational marijuana “ not medical marijuana! Recreational marijuana is grown with out strict regulations as oppose to medically or organically grown marijuana, I’m from Texas and luckily I have been blessed with the best genetics from some of the bays finest caretakers, my health and fitness has improve dramatically , before marijuana I was an obese individual with asthma , now I am a power lifter with a very good cardio vascular system.. I’ve traveled to Colorado and had the chance to try booth medical and recreational, I gotta say I was very disappointed.. something special is going on in California they create and combine genetics for the people instead for greed!

The pothead doesn't mean anything. That's a label Someone Like You puts on people so that you can discriminate. That's not fair and it isn't right. I wonder who you're actually pointing out to your children some tweaker junkie on the road. Because most potheads you wouldn't even read know that they were potheads they dress like everyone else they have jobs like everyone else. I don't like to talk bad to people, but when someone gives a half-hearted, discriminatory view like yours, I have to respond. Normally I wouldn't say nothing. But I am one of the people that is pushing for complete legalization for cannabis. I've been on the front lines of the medical industry for years. And when I hear someone talk like you, it's no wonder why we have a lock them up and put them away mentality in this country. We have more people on probation parole in prison in this country then then China and Russia combined. If we keep up in the direction we are going and what we're doing to people with these archaic laws, we are doing the citizens of this country great Injustice. Lock him up and keep them down.

Chivis , pretty sure that policy isn't anything new . Its referred to as deferred adjudication. The defendant has always been required to pay costs of being processed through the courts .Why would anybody remain in jail for a simple pot charge ? Maybe they aren't a very functional person in society . I know em see em everywhere . Raised my kids pointing them out to them as a example . Penalties have been greatly reduced through the years. There was a time when any amount in Texas was felony . We can keep making it more and more acceptable legally but who is going to give all the pot heads a job ? Not me .
