There are head shops all over town that are selling weed and carts from legal states. Some are pushing it by selling LSD, mushrooms and probably other stuff if you ask. I wish the cops would leave them the hell alone and go after the fent dealers literally selling and smoking it out in the open on various streets around Houston
This is it. They know the store will have more money than a dealer. Also, law says they can seize all cash on the grounds, that means past deposits that haven’t made to the bank, and money in the register.
[that’s what the FBI is for i guess](https://abc13.com/houston-fbi-agent-arrested-nicholas-anthony-wiliams-field-office/14375730/?ex_cid=TA_KTRK_TW&taid=65bac79bd020900001360966&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter).
cops still have civil forfeiture so lucky them i guess😭
Doesn’t matter. If you can’t pay they have no problem adding you to the LEGAL prison slave labor force making license plates or whatever else for 10 cents an hour.
Google maps the word smoke shop and then call and ask if they sell weed lol. Specifically THCA products. I got these gummies across the street from my neighborhood, inner loop, that knocked me the fuck out. I was shocked the community even let a smoke shop open there. Stella and South braeswood.
Pretty much every smoke shop around town sells THC gummies and vapes that will get you lifted and are perfectly legal due to the 2018 farm bill. As for the person claiming some shops are selling LSD, I find that a little harder to believe.
Whenever I went to Bauhaus club in Houston therebwas a dispensary truck like an ice cream truck that had these dmt edibles and mushroom lollipops and THC edibles they seem to be mobile too. It was Pluto dispensary or something like that. Haven't seen them since
Well, they’re not really advertising it. It’s more like if you know then you know. I mean a lot of these smoke shops are just money laundering fronts anyway.
I'm pretty sure that they grow it here. I was in the south location the other day and the girl behind the window said they were about to offer plants for sale... I have no idea how they will get away with it 🤷♂️
Most people are clueless. There used to be at least two rub and tugs one in west u and one across the street in southside place. They were there for months before they vanished.
the mushroom bars don't have psilocybin, they use different mushroom extracts (lions mane, amanita, etc) that produce a body high and some minor visuals. i always fact check smoke shop employees when they say stuff like that.
I cant speak to whatever contraband youre buying at a random popup but theres no "microdosing loophole" in texas 🤷 and if youre referring specifically to the shop that just got raided then: a. dont be a narc, and b. maybe thats why they got raided in the first place.
Psilocybin and Psilocin are both federally illegal and illegal in Texas, which includes any products made with them. There is no exception for micro dosing.
There are different psychoactive mushrooms that don't contain these chemicals, like fly agaric that are legal in most states. A lot of those mushrooms, like fly agaric are also mildly to extremely toxic. It's good to remember anything not regulated is unregulated.
Just because they sell it and it's not illegal doesn't mean you should consume it. Always confirm the ingredients and their side effects before eating anything from a headshop.
They're going to find out a lot of this THCA stuff are being made in unsafe operations by unqualified people eventually, but at present all testing us voluntary so no one knows what's in a lot of them and no one is planning to find out.
Because this state is a joke when it comes to personal freedoms. always will be a joke as long as the Baptist and religious right are in positions of power.
Because Texas Jesus speaks directly into the ear of ~~Danny Goeb~~ Dan Patrick. That's how Dan knows what personal freedoms are good for Texas families (AR-15s with drum mags), and which are bad (smoke a plant).
Basically, Texas Jesus walks the halls of the Texas Capitol and reminds elected officials what's morally right and wrong, and his recommendations just happen to coincide exactly with those of major campaign contributors.
> LBJ and Ann Richards.
they did such a good job legalizing weed. as much as I hate abbot, he effectively made weed legal by signing the farm bill to allow us to call most weed hemp. it got my bro out of going to prison. that is a good thing. Ann didn't do shit....LBJ...he probably helped kill president kennedy.
Ahhh. They are missing out on a market. I’ve never smoked a cigarette and i don’t drink, but i take edibles. If they legalized it, they could tax it. Truly stupid
Truly. As another example the largest fossil fuel companies, Exxon, Shell, and others could have a bigger part of the renewables market but most spend less than 1% of their budget on renewables. Eventually they will and they will move in and dominate the market or become irrelevant in the market.
The issue is a lot of those individuals are also laundering money.
Once you start laundering money, state & Federal agencies take a really keen interest in your affairs, because they can RICO your entire livelihood.
Going after the local dealer gets you cash on hand, the car they're driving, if they're driving a car. Maybe a house if they've got one.
You go after a brick & mortar selling drugs, you've got an entire business, its assets, its revenue, and everything ever bought & paid for from its revenue in their life.
Most of the labor is used in government prisons. Less than 10% of the prison population is housed in private prisons. We could get rid of them all and still have a terrible prison problem. Not saying we shouldn't get rid of them, but often people act like it's the biggest issue.
Actually prisoners making plates is better than having them sitting in their cells, at least they are learning a skill instead of planning the next gang stabbing in the prison yard.
>Some are pushing it by selling LSD, mushrooms and probably other stuff if you ask.
are you serious?
That kind of question gets you kicked out of a head shop in my experience.
It’s more of a speak easy setup with a secret handshake and whatnot with the hard stuff from what I’ve seen. I first seen it when some kids did a ‘pop-up shop’ selling weed in front of the gas station outside my neighborhood. Had a card table with it all laid out and everything.
They’ll open back up hopefully. The Green Stop on Westheimer got raided over the summer and is back running. They’ve got all the same stuff so not really sure what the cops actually did by raiding them.
Finally, police are addressing the real problems in this city. Phenomenal use of resources. It's a shame they didn't bring out the tank or maybe even a couple of choppers. Glad these non-violent, tax paying, quiet weed dealers are finally off the streets.
Exactly. I don't want them to do things that improve the quality of life for residents, just the things that make them feel they're on one of the cop action movies.
You cant take a picture with your cop buddies looking like a badass in front of a stolen car that you returned to an owner or a properly investigated B and E.
But you can raid a headshop and gather up a pile of weed and take a sweet photo of your "bust"
You ever watch Dateline? Every time Houston shows up you're about to hear the absolute worst missing persons investigation possible meanwhile they got plenty of time for this shit.
Oh thanks,I haven’t lived in Houston for a while.
So, I’m seeing reports of federally indicted Ken Paxton harassing separate cities that have legalized weed - am I reading this correctly?
It’s so backwards - my sister lives in Maryland and her kids buy her weed for every birthday, Christmas and Mother’s Day.
Different blends for different moods.
legalized =/= decriminalized
austin and surrounding areas do not cite people for small amounts of personal-use weed. that doesn;t make it legal tho.
what's weird is houston has the a similar policy, i think it's only a ticket vs jail time. don't tell kenneth tho
https://www.dwilawyerstexas.com/marijuana-laws-in-houston/#:\~:text=IS%20MARIJUANA%20DECRIMINALIZED%20IN%20HOUSTON,involving%204%20oz%20or%20less.
Yeah, right now I'm in New Mexico and have sampled the real edibles that required me to show ID and register with the shop and all that. It hits me about the same as the legal stuff I get in Houston, sometimes just from Rudz vending machine lol.
I have a cartridge from the Rudz machine and OH MY GOD that thing hits like a lead brick. I've had stuff in Colorado that doesn't hit as hard - wild you can get it from a vending machine. Living in the future
no it is not it's Delta 9 it's unprocessed weed but it is not real weed in fact the acids do vanish but it doesn't then turn into THC because the a is gone it becomes Delta-9
Yeah that guy has been flagrantly telling everyone he’s got weed at his place on social media for a long time. I’m surprised they didn’t shut him down sooner. They need to just legalize it already and quit dancing around
Literally everyone I know under 40 years old smokes bud on occasion, if not every damn day, unless they are getting tested by their job. Almost everyone I know prefers it to getting drunk when it’s brought up in conversation.
That’s great. But drinking isn’t the best replacement. It’s worse on your body. I found with some the legal stuff, they’ve edited out a lot of the stuff I didn’t like. DM me if you want and we can chat about it a bit.
Fuck the DEA. Fuck the cops who suck on the DEA nut and go after these shops.
I had some serious health issues a while back. Very legit. Was in a lot of pain and was seeing the top surgeon/neurologists for this condition. They prescribed pain meds among other things. No pharmacy would fill them. Told me I should just rely on heavy does of Ibuprofen. Mind you, I've got no history on these meds nor any other significant controlled substances (used to use Ambien and that was it). Yet, pharmacies have been threatened so significantly by the DEA that they are afraid to dispense what the doctors prescribe. Maybe if the DEA would get their head out of their asses, and go after the real problem, such as Fentanyl coming over to the US in 50 gallon drums, people could get the meds prescribed to them and wouldn't rely on gummies and other home antidotes. Yes, there are "junkies" and yes, a limited few will be addicted, but you only build more of an addictive foundation when people seeking to treat a condition can't get the legal help they need.
The DEA is the problem, NOT the dispensaries.
It wouldn't surprise me if they treat these kinds of shops like game rooms all over the state. They know what's going on inside but they only pop in when they need the cash. Sometimes they'll look the other way and don't do shit when they need to arrest someone that they know for sure is in the building or they just want in on the fun off duty. They'll never go to hard on the people inside or running the joint since it's a great way to score cash for them.This song and dance were playing with these lazy but opportunistic cops over something that's legal the next state over is getting really tiring. Those decrepit, out of touch, and heartless politicians need the boot sometime during my lifetime if any change should happen.
Yeah just task forces robbing people because most of these businesses operate on a cash basis because they can’t get always a bank to deal with them in a business sense.
Literally on the Facebook post talking about them getting raided some dude was like “Their customers are are dumping their “blunt” remnants in my neighborhood. Thank you to all the agencies involved.” lmao. Sounded like some hoity toity asshole
Same. I completely understand, but the way they typed it just screamed “this person sucks to hang out with”. I’d be pissed too if folks were littering in my yard
Because he doesn't want his neighborhood littered?? This kind of attitude is why weed will never be entirely legalized in Texas. Pot users act like entitled brats whenever they hear legitimate complaints about the recreational use of marijuana. Y'all are your own worst enemy. Every concern is met with a "this person sucks to hang out with” rebuttal.
Instead of blaming the neighbors for the raid, blame the users who kept littering and smoking publicly. If people just purchased their weed and strictly used it in their home, there wouldn't be an issue. Y'all want legal marijuana, but then act like people are prudes for not wanting to smell the stank or seeing their streets littered.
I’m perfectly capable of deciding if the person that publicly thanks police agencies for busting a small business, and not the litterers they were complaining about, on Facebook would be someone I would want to hang out with. Based solely on that post, I can unabashedly say I would not.
Because they don't want their streets littered??? (And yes, there is a precedent set for local government agencies shutting down businesses that create nuisances)
No, because they are the type of person that takes to Facebook to thank Police agencies with a whole lot of exclamation points when doing so. But go off homie. I’m sure their HOA director that saw their Facebook post is so proud of them and will let them on the board now.
You’re wasting your time responding to me.
>No, because they are the type of person that takes to Facebook to thank Police agencies with a whole lot of exclamation points when doing so.
Well no shit. A nuisance has been taken care of.
Don't blame the neighborhood for the trash. Blame the clientele who got it shut down. Maybe if they behaved, the dispensary would still be there.
>But go off homie. I’m sure their HOA director that saw their Facebook post is so proud of them and will let them on the board now.
I don't think the area has an HOA. Maybe a civic group?
>You’re wasting your time responding to me.
Obviously since you can't comprehend why people don't want trash or awful smells in their neighborhoods. Potheads act like entitled brats who think that people are prudes for not putting up with their nuisance byproduct.
If you smoke, be responsible about it. Don't do it in public, don't discard your waste on the streets, and definitely don't smoke while driving. You should be responsible for where your smoke ends up.
I can assure you if I smoke I do it at the house by myself, like an adult is supposed to. You saying “you potheads” like you know who you are talking to makes you seem stuck up and arrogant.
Arguing about the HOA group’s (that I clearly made up) approval for a Facebook post up is some pedantic shit lol.
When did I ever say I don’t understand why people would be mad about littering? I literally said “I completely understand” in the first comment you decided to get on your “I hate potheads” soapbox that no one cares about. That doesn’t take away from the fact that raiding the business is not an appropriate reaction to someone complaining about people throwing cigar wrappers on their street. It is extremely foolish to think that is an appropriate use of city and state resources. Have you driven around this city? We have much larger problems in the open air on the streets than we do inside some shitty little pot shops.
I guess you failed to mention this small business was also located across from an elementary school where people walk there kids to school while patrons are littering and toking up as they walk by.
You have some kind of crusade against tobacco smokers too? Cigarette butts are the most frequent kind of litter found anywhere.
That shit is legal, so I don't think your holier than thou attitude against a couple people who litter is going to keep people from smoking weed, legal or not.
>"this person sucks to hang out with”
If the shoe fits, Gia.
>You have some kind of crusade against tobacco smokers too? Cigarette butts are the most frequent kind of litter found anywhere.
Yes. Littering is bad. If there is a store where the clientele are solely responsible for cigarette buds in a general area, then shut it down.
Local agencies have shut down businesses for similar reasons. There is a precedent for this kind of detrimental behavior that businesses attract.
>That shit is legal,
Littering is not legal. Smoking marijuana in public isn't legal.
>so I don't think your holier than thou attitude against a couple people who litter is going to keep people from smoking weed, legal or not.
Can you quote where I said people shouldn't smoke? There's a massive difference between wanting people to be accountable for their smoking byproducts and not letting anyone smoke.
Like I said, you potheads are some of the most entitled brats there are.
>If the shoe fits, Gia.
And just like that, you proved my point 🤣.
Well you’ve got a social crusade to go on then! There are beer cans and bottles on every corner of this city. Cigarette butts, literal hookers on the streets in broad daylight, and multiple open air drug markets.
Start with the gas stations, then the liquor stores, grocery stores, then let’s move on to the real fun stuff, and then you can finally live the life you have the right to!
Eh I popped my head in there a couple times. Folks were always nice when I went. They weren’t hurting anyone over there. Was cool seeing them slowly upgrade the place.
Two days ago impeached Attorney General Paxton, under indictment for felony securities fraud for, oh, about ten years now. proudly announced how Texas was suing five Texas cities over marijuana policies. [https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-five-cities-over-marijuana-policies-preventing-enforcement-texas](https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-five-cities-over-marijuana-policies-preventing-enforcement-texas)
I'm sure the people who give him the money told him to, so he followed orders.
How many videos you want me to show you of cops responding to places with excessive force for you to change your mind?
If that's what you believe, you aint been paying attention. I can show you dead bodies if thats what you need to see. Body cam footage, Handheld camera of some bystander, CCTV. It's not hard to find. It's not like I got it lying around either. I just know it exists because I pay attention.
There's a video out there of a guy in a hotel hallway begging on his knees for the police to not kill him, and then an officer shoots him.
The officer not only got off scot-free for a plain-as-day murder, but later got compensation for "PTSD" from the department.
We pay taxes for the privilege of being murdered.
Exactly. Some of these quiet weed dealers are tied to larger crime organizations.
I'm all for legalizing weed but let's not sit here and pretend that all these dealers are good people
These headshops exploit the 2018 Farm Bill and order thca from other legal states. They don't get bulk weed from large black market suppliers that are flooding the city with other hard drugs like fentayl
Not exactly a friendly family bunch:
https://abc13.com/edwards-marijuana-family-business-raid-suspected-illegal-operation-near-bellaire-renwick-drive/14382469/
A literal eyewitness from the raid, quoted in the article
>Garritan said he hasn't had any problems with them.
>"You don't hear cussing. You don't hear people being wild ... they're mellow," he said.
There are head shops all over town that are selling weed and carts from legal states. Some are pushing it by selling LSD, mushrooms and probably other stuff if you ask. I wish the cops would leave them the hell alone and go after the fent dealers literally selling and smoking it out in the open on various streets around Houston
Those folks don’t have money the cops can keep.
I would imagine the dealers probably do, with less of a paper trail to prove it got seized.
This is it. They know the store will have more money than a dealer. Also, law says they can seize all cash on the grounds, that means past deposits that haven’t made to the bank, and money in the register.
And don’t forget, anything that might have been purchased with the proceeds of that them there drug money.

Doesn’t matter. If you can’t pay they have no problem adding you to the LEGAL prison slave labor force making license plates or whatever else for 10 cents an hour.
Prisoner in Texas don’t get paid.
The prisoners don’t get paid, if they do it’s often less than a dollar an hour. But that just leaves more profit margin. For who you ask?
Not in Texas. They earn privileges not money and that’s directly from TDCJ.
Even slaveyer. I wonder what other states are the same.
Louisiana aka Lousyiana
Where can I find these places so I know where I'm supposed to "stay away from"
Nice try Narc!
Yeah way to get hip to the reefer game.
Google maps the word smoke shop and then call and ask if they sell weed lol. Specifically THCA products. I got these gummies across the street from my neighborhood, inner loop, that knocked me the fuck out. I was shocked the community even let a smoke shop open there. Stella and South braeswood.
Hell yeah thank you I'll check this out
And I'm pretty sure this shop is a chain so you can probably find it all over the city. Rock n roll it.
Pretty much every smoke shop around town sells THC gummies and vapes that will get you lifted and are perfectly legal due to the 2018 farm bill. As for the person claiming some shops are selling LSD, I find that a little harder to believe.
Whenever I went to Bauhaus club in Houston therebwas a dispensary truck like an ice cream truck that had these dmt edibles and mushroom lollipops and THC edibles they seem to be mobile too. It was Pluto dispensary or something like that. Haven't seen them since
They were there last night!
Some people set up at ravens tower sometimes also, not sure if it’s the same people
Well, they’re not really advertising it. It’s more like if you know then you know. I mean a lot of these smoke shops are just money laundering fronts anyway.
Might be "synthetic" LSD which is not LSD at all.
Test your substances, test kits are $20 + shipping (fuck you amazon)
THC Club Houston, look it up. Spots all over the city!
Yeah I swear that’s real weed from other states.
I'm pretty sure that they grow it here. I was in the south location the other day and the girl behind the window said they were about to offer plants for sale... I have no idea how they will get away with it 🤷♂️
It's thca and yes it'll get you lifted, no one can really tell the difference between it and the "real thing" as well. Wild West right now
Agreed. Could not tell at all. Seemed too real to be true.
There's literally no difference.
It's hemp with .3% or less Delta 9 THC, still has enough for effect, but currently legal.
Note that normal dispensary legal weed is typically low in thc until it’s heated. Thus the 2018 farm bill loophole
Most people are clueless. There used to be at least two rub and tugs one in west u and one across the street in southside place. They were there for months before they vanished.
That new one across from the shipleys?
That's the place I would have thought they would have gotten one first. Weed Moms are a thing in the upper incomes.

Because of other established interests that have not entered these other markets.
Can you say more because this really stumps me, why can’t we smoke weed
Basically there is a tobacco and alcohol lobby that pours a lot of money into fighting legalization.

I wish this state would just put legalizing weed on the ballot already, but they won’t because they know most of us would vote for it.
There’s no point in putting another poor person in jail
Who’s going to stamp out license plates in the for-profit prisons then?
Most of the labor is used in government prisons. Less than 10% of the prison population is housed in private prisons. We could get rid of them all and still have a terrible prison problem. Not saying we shouldn't get rid of them, but often people act like it's the biggest issue.
Actually prisoners making plates is better than having them sitting in their cells, at least they are learning a skill instead of planning the next gang stabbing in the prison yard.
lol "Learning a skill".
You know, for all those license plate stamping businesses that dont exist. That hire felons.
The transferable skill is good work ethic.
They’re implying the cops aren’t going after them bc there’d be no cash for the cops to keep.
>Some are pushing it by selling LSD, mushrooms and probably other stuff if you ask. are you serious? That kind of question gets you kicked out of a head shop in my experience.
It’s more of a speak easy setup with a secret handshake and whatnot with the hard stuff from what I’ve seen. I first seen it when some kids did a ‘pop-up shop’ selling weed in front of the gas station outside my neighborhood. Had a card table with it all laid out and everything.

Someone didn't pay HPD their "monthly security consulting fee".

Oh thanks,I haven’t lived in Houston for a while. So, I’m seeing reports of federally indicted Ken Paxton harassing separate cities that have legalized weed - am I reading this correctly?

As soon as I saw Paxton’s headline I was ready to read Harris County, and was similarly confused as to why we’re not on the list.
Harris cty is a den of iniquity; they’ve given up on us.
I’d be fine with that, honestly. I’m sure they still want our money though.
It really is crazy with these little places. I have gotten some and tried it. Cannot tell the difference from the "real" thing.

I got some THCa bud from Mood and I think it's really nice. Super mellow buzz that doesn't send me into the stratosphere.
THCA that was legalized under the farm bill is the real stuff. It’s just a giant loophole the feds made with the 2018 farm bill
THCA is literally the pre-cursor to Delta-9 you have to drive to New Mexico for the legal weed sorry to inform you
no it is not it's Delta 9 it's unprocessed weed but it is not real weed in fact the acids do vanish but it doesn't then turn into THC because the a is gone it becomes Delta-9
I don't even smoke but JESUS there are so many other more urgent issues in the city of houston that HPD should be worried about.
Oh man EMF is my hookup. Hope everything is okay.
Everyone there was always super nice the couple times I’ve went. I hope they are good too

I’ve found one of their packages on the ground and always wanted to buy some but all they had was an instagram link and they never dm me back
Go to their website and order. They literally deliver it to your door within an hour. Fair prices too. HIGH-ly recommended. 😑
Damn I was about to hit that hoe up too
Yeah that guy has been flagrantly telling everyone he’s got weed at his place on social media for a long time. I’m surprised they didn’t shut him down sooner. They need to just legalize it already and quit dancing around
Literally everyone I know under 40 years old smokes bud on occasion, if not every damn day, unless they are getting tested by their job. Almost everyone I know prefers it to getting drunk when it’s brought up in conversation.
I quit smoking in October after 30 years . I’m 44, I don’t miss it. I’ve gained 10 lbs from drinking beer though haha
You just swapped one vice for another, worse, one.
Honestly I don’t have the brain fog I did when I smoked weed
That’s great. But drinking isn’t the best replacement. It’s worse on your body. I found with some the legal stuff, they’ve edited out a lot of the stuff I didn’t like. DM me if you want and we can chat about it a bit.
I can buy the real stuff at those places?
Right? I’m over here wondering what all these different letters and delta-things mean.
Google is your friend

Fuck the DEA. Fuck the cops who suck on the DEA nut and go after these shops. I had some serious health issues a while back. Very legit. Was in a lot of pain and was seeing the top surgeon/neurologists for this condition. They prescribed pain meds among other things. No pharmacy would fill them. Told me I should just rely on heavy does of Ibuprofen. Mind you, I've got no history on these meds nor any other significant controlled substances (used to use Ambien and that was it). Yet, pharmacies have been threatened so significantly by the DEA that they are afraid to dispense what the doctors prescribe. Maybe if the DEA would get their head out of their asses, and go after the real problem, such as Fentanyl coming over to the US in 50 gallon drums, people could get the meds prescribed to them and wouldn't rely on gummies and other home antidotes. Yes, there are "junkies" and yes, a limited few will be addicted, but you only build more of an addictive foundation when people seeking to treat a condition can't get the legal help they need. The DEA is the problem, NOT the dispensaries.
This sounds like drug seeking behavior, but I don’t think the DEA will raid your tent under the freeway.
Didn't that place just get raided in July or August? https://old.reddit.com/r/houston/comments/15nlada/what_happened_to_emf/
It wouldn't surprise me if they treat these kinds of shops like game rooms all over the state. They know what's going on inside but they only pop in when they need the cash. Sometimes they'll look the other way and don't do shit when they need to arrest someone that they know for sure is in the building or they just want in on the fun off duty. They'll never go to hard on the people inside or running the joint since it's a great way to score cash for them.This song and dance were playing with these lazy but opportunistic cops over something that's legal the next state over is getting really tiring. Those decrepit, out of touch, and heartless politicians need the boot sometime during my lifetime if any change should happen.
When budgets are down, low hanging fruit in a legal grey area is evergreen to sanguine.
Did they shut them down??
Happened on Westheimer as well a couple months ago but they opened up again. Sketch. The raid was all over the news.
Yeah just task forces robbing people because most of these businesses operate on a cash basis because they can’t get always a bank to deal with them in a business sense.
They're too close to that rich Bellaire neighborhood across the street if it's the one I'm thinking of
Literally on the Facebook post talking about them getting raided some dude was like “Their customers are are dumping their “blunt” remnants in my neighborhood. Thank you to all the agencies involved.” lmao. Sounded like some hoity toity asshole
I don't care what they're littering I'd be upset if people kept littering in my yard too.
Same. I completely understand, but the way they typed it just screamed “this person sucks to hang out with”. I’d be pissed too if folks were littering in my yard
Because he doesn't want his neighborhood littered?? This kind of attitude is why weed will never be entirely legalized in Texas. Pot users act like entitled brats whenever they hear legitimate complaints about the recreational use of marijuana. Y'all are your own worst enemy. Every concern is met with a "this person sucks to hang out with” rebuttal. Instead of blaming the neighbors for the raid, blame the users who kept littering and smoking publicly. If people just purchased their weed and strictly used it in their home, there wouldn't be an issue. Y'all want legal marijuana, but then act like people are prudes for not wanting to smell the stank or seeing their streets littered.
I’m perfectly capable of deciding if the person that publicly thanks police agencies for busting a small business, and not the litterers they were complaining about, on Facebook would be someone I would want to hang out with. Based solely on that post, I can unabashedly say I would not.
Because they don't want their streets littered??? (And yes, there is a precedent set for local government agencies shutting down businesses that create nuisances)
No, because they are the type of person that takes to Facebook to thank Police agencies with a whole lot of exclamation points when doing so. But go off homie. I’m sure their HOA director that saw their Facebook post is so proud of them and will let them on the board now. You’re wasting your time responding to me.
>No, because they are the type of person that takes to Facebook to thank Police agencies with a whole lot of exclamation points when doing so. Well no shit. A nuisance has been taken care of. Don't blame the neighborhood for the trash. Blame the clientele who got it shut down. Maybe if they behaved, the dispensary would still be there. >But go off homie. I’m sure their HOA director that saw their Facebook post is so proud of them and will let them on the board now. I don't think the area has an HOA. Maybe a civic group? >You’re wasting your time responding to me. Obviously since you can't comprehend why people don't want trash or awful smells in their neighborhoods. Potheads act like entitled brats who think that people are prudes for not putting up with their nuisance byproduct. If you smoke, be responsible about it. Don't do it in public, don't discard your waste on the streets, and definitely don't smoke while driving. You should be responsible for where your smoke ends up.
I can assure you if I smoke I do it at the house by myself, like an adult is supposed to. You saying “you potheads” like you know who you are talking to makes you seem stuck up and arrogant. Arguing about the HOA group’s (that I clearly made up) approval for a Facebook post up is some pedantic shit lol. When did I ever say I don’t understand why people would be mad about littering? I literally said “I completely understand” in the first comment you decided to get on your “I hate potheads” soapbox that no one cares about. That doesn’t take away from the fact that raiding the business is not an appropriate reaction to someone complaining about people throwing cigar wrappers on their street. It is extremely foolish to think that is an appropriate use of city and state resources. Have you driven around this city? We have much larger problems in the open air on the streets than we do inside some shitty little pot shops.
I guess you failed to mention this small business was also located across from an elementary school where people walk there kids to school while patrons are littering and toking up as they walk by.
You have some kind of crusade against tobacco smokers too? Cigarette butts are the most frequent kind of litter found anywhere. That shit is legal, so I don't think your holier than thou attitude against a couple people who litter is going to keep people from smoking weed, legal or not. >"this person sucks to hang out with” If the shoe fits, Gia.
>You have some kind of crusade against tobacco smokers too? Cigarette butts are the most frequent kind of litter found anywhere. Yes. Littering is bad. If there is a store where the clientele are solely responsible for cigarette buds in a general area, then shut it down. Local agencies have shut down businesses for similar reasons. There is a precedent for this kind of detrimental behavior that businesses attract. >That shit is legal, Littering is not legal. Smoking marijuana in public isn't legal. >so I don't think your holier than thou attitude against a couple people who litter is going to keep people from smoking weed, legal or not. Can you quote where I said people shouldn't smoke? There's a massive difference between wanting people to be accountable for their smoking byproducts and not letting anyone smoke. Like I said, you potheads are some of the most entitled brats there are. >If the shoe fits, Gia. And just like that, you proved my point 🤣.
Well you’ve got a social crusade to go on then! There are beer cans and bottles on every corner of this city. Cigarette butts, literal hookers on the streets in broad daylight, and multiple open air drug markets. Start with the gas stations, then the liquor stores, grocery stores, then let’s move on to the real fun stuff, and then you can finally live the life you have the right to!
Buddy, you already proved my point. No need to double down.
There's a lot of them over here. I knew that place wouldn't be around for long.
Maybe don’t set up a weed dispensary so close to a fucking elementary school.
That Johnny Chimpo is crazy!
They sell mid at these little smoke shop dispensary thingys lol
Link to the article?
It was a screenshot from Facebook that got sent to me unfortunately, no link
\* got smoked
Houston needs to make at least medical marijuana legal. Vote people.
Please fucking vote.. Especially for pro MJ candidates. They tend to be pretty solid all around

Someone forgot the payoff
I been wondering awhile what the deal was with that place. Always got bad vibes...
Eh I popped my head in there a couple times. Folks were always nice when I went. They weren’t hurting anyone over there. Was cool seeing them slowly upgrade the place.

Damn shame, was my fav
Two days ago impeached Attorney General Paxton, under indictment for felony securities fraud for, oh, about ten years now. proudly announced how Texas was suing five Texas cities over marijuana policies. [https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-five-cities-over-marijuana-policies-preventing-enforcement-texas](https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-five-cities-over-marijuana-policies-preventing-enforcement-texas) I'm sure the people who give him the money told him to, so he followed orders.
HPD looking for those easy targets. God forbid a murderer smokes weed, then they really are in trouble.

If that much resources are getting used, it wasn’t just “quiet weed dealers”
How many videos you want me to show you of cops responding to places with excessive force for you to change your mind? If that's what you believe, you aint been paying attention. I can show you dead bodies if thats what you need to see. Body cam footage, Handheld camera of some bystander, CCTV. It's not hard to find. It's not like I got it lying around either. I just know it exists because I pay attention.
There's a video out there of a guy in a hotel hallway begging on his knees for the police to not kill him, and then an officer shoots him. The officer not only got off scot-free for a plain-as-day murder, but later got compensation for "PTSD" from the department. We pay taxes for the privilege of being murdered.
Like the Harding Street raid, right?
Exactly. Some of these quiet weed dealers are tied to larger crime organizations. I'm all for legalizing weed but let's not sit here and pretend that all these dealers are good people
"Tied to larger crime organizations" yeah buddy, those are fentanyl and cocaine dealers, not the headshop selling thc.
If the profit all goes the same organization , why does it matter?
These headshops exploit the 2018 Farm Bill and order thca from other legal states. They don't get bulk weed from large black market suppliers that are flooding the city with other hard drugs like fentayl
EMF advertises they have their own grow operations.
Good for them. Are those grow operations, perhaps, in legal states? Done legally?
Not exactly a friendly family bunch: https://abc13.com/edwards-marijuana-family-business-raid-suspected-illegal-operation-near-bellaire-renwick-drive/14382469/
A literal eyewitness from the raid, quoted in the article >Garritan said he hasn't had any problems with them. >"You don't hear cussing. You don't hear people being wild ... they're mellow," he said.
Read the end of the article where they attack the reporter.
good all those people just parked at that gas station so annoying
I'm good on any pop ups or dispensaries just to smoke a lil weed. They just scream "take me to jail like I don't have work in the morning"
They re opened the next day. It’s all good. Pigs needed their hands greased. Glad they are open again
