Texas Cops Need Help Getting Rid Of 200,000 Pounds Of Weed

Pinned !

My goodness, now we know what makes happiness.

cash strapped idiots should sell it to legal Medical Marijuana Centers

200000 pound???? It is some SERIOUS CASH right there. Why don't they send them down to CA???

We need them to BAIL US OUT.

How much does 200000 pounds of goodies cost???

I wish they would pass the doobie on the left had side and make it legal so we can all get stoned in peace.

I'll help...count me in...Damn I am not in Texas!

Say $100 per ounce X 16 per pound X 200,000 = $320,000,000.00

Now how much did it cost in resources to gather that much?

What if it were regulated like Alcohol?

CA made 100 Million last year on legal pot.

Why does Obama not use this money to PAY for his OBAMACARE???

320000000 dollars can bail out a lot of states, companies, and people.

HOw did Texans manage to COLLECT that much over the YEAR???

They couldn't empty those one by one by one into a cement mixer ?
garden landscaping ?

FALSE !

Collection goes back to the year 2000. So 10 years.

Partial list of clinical applications


In a 2002 review of medical literature, medical cannabis was shown to have established effects in the treatment of nausea, vomiting, premenstrual syndrome, unintentional weight loss, and lack of appetite. Other "relatively well-confirmed" effects were in the treatment of "spasticity, painful conditions, especially neurogenic pain, movement disorders, asthma, [and] glaucoma".[7]

Preliminary findings indicate that cannabis-based drugs could prove useful in treating inflammatory bowel disease (consisting of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis),[8] migraines, fibromyalgia, and related conditions.[9]

Medical cannabis has also been found to relieve certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis[10] and spinal cord injuries[11][12][13] by exhibiting antispasmodic and muscle-relaxant properties as well as stimulating appetite. Clinical trials provide evidence that THC reduces motor and vocal tics of Tourette syndrome and related behavioral problems such as obsessive–compulsive disorders.[14][15]

Other studies have shown cannabis or cannabinoids may be useful in treating alcohol abuse,[16] attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or AD/HD)[17][18] amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,[19][20][21] collagen-induced arthritis,[22] rheumatoid arthritis,[23] asthma,[24] atherosclerosis,[25] bipolar disorder,[26][27] childhood mental disorders,[28] colorectal cancer,[29] depression,[30][31][32][33] diabetic retinopathy,[34][35] dystonia,[36][37] epilepsy,[38][39] digestive diseases,[40][41] gliomas,[42][43] hepatitis C,[44][45] Huntington's disease,[46] hypertension,[47][48] urinary incontinence,[49] leukemia,[50] skin tumors,[51] morning sickness,[52][53] methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),[54][55] Parkinson's disease,[56] pruritus,[57][58] posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),[59][60][61] sickle-cell disease,[62] sleep apnea,[63]tourette syndrome,[64][65] and anorexia nervosa.[66]

"destroy the weed....."

They should just setup shop in California and sell it off in small amounts to maximize their profits, of course Cali would want a share of the tax revenue, but there would be plenty left over for Texas as well!

Wouldn't that be legal? Or would some stupid law about transporting across state lines come into play?

Maybe they could arrest themselves.

+1 ... (except when scrounging for more...)

what a waste!!

So as not to hurt YOUR lungs, dipstick.

While environmentalists take things to an extreme, so do those who would rape the earth of everything and leave it a barren shell, while walking away with a tidy profit.

In our land, 100 years ago copper smelters killed EVERYTHING green for miles and miles around...it took 'environmentalists' (and the farmers that suffered the loss of all their crops and trees) to put a stop to it.

The trick is to balance between the wants of our big bellies and bank account and the needs of the rest of the ecosystem.

...oh, and they should just cook all that pot down to tincture and make some pot butter with it.

That'll make a lot of liniment for rheumatism, eh?

Wow.

Brownies !

sell it to Amsterdam -- budget problems for next 10 years solved in that county

Jeeze, this is their opportunity to get into the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest pot fire in history and they don't even see it. Are they on dope or something?

That shit ought to be pretty moldy by now. You smoke that shit and you'll DIE!

Never been to Texas. 2 hours max.

ENBARR where the frak are you, mission on fella..

Lmao I was thinking the same thing!

My thoughts exactly!

The down side -

I lived in Austin TX through 2002.

The penalty for even one seed under the no tolerance position at that time was lots of jail time.

So be careful driving out........

Yep make it legal an sell it or sell it to California.

give it to California and split the tax revenue generated from it

Why does Texas not just legalize Marijuana and start selling the stockpile. I think California is going to legalize it soon it is on the November ballot, its up to the voters now.

$200 million.
