Why are the penalties for Cannabis Concentrates more stringent than the plant ?

The penalties for possession of THC in Texas are determined by the quantity of THC possessed measured in grams. Possession begins as a felony charge, unlike marijuana which has misdemeanor levels of punishment.
Any cannabis concentrate under one gram is a state jail felony, with incarceration time and other penalties increasing from there. Possession of concentrated THC in Texas between one and four grams is a third-degree felony, while possession between four and four hundred grams is a second-degree felony. Anything over that amount can get those convicted up to 99 years in prison.

This is insane when you remember they found cocaine TWICE at the White House in the last year and not a thing happened.

It's stupid I know someone with a felony from a small amount of wax. Meanwhile I can get budder or wax from the dispensery.
I wish congress would just legalize it.

It’s like the difference between cocaine and crack (except more dangerous)

Because the people of Texas haven’t elected leaders who will change those laws. Move to a different state that has if those laws are disagreeable to you.

Democrats and Republicans both hate liberty each in their own ways. This is why they both suck.

My understanding is it went back to the crack-cocaine epidemic. At the time, lawmakers increased the charge for any “concentrated” version of a drug (with crack being a concentrated version of cocaine) so that they could really hammer crack users/distributors hard.
Problem is, our government never removes laws, they only add new ones. So the books still state that any concentrated version of any drug be charged at the highest level possible. And our old-frick politicians are too disconnected from the rest of society to realize just how crazy it is to charge a kid with a schedule 2 felony for a couple vape pens or a single weed brownie
But that’s a state law, not a federal one

Fundamentally racist policy that targets white marijuana users that can afford edibles and pens while decriminalizing blunt users who are more likely to be BIPOC

You’re 10x more likely to end up giving handjobs under the interstate to support your addiction.

fricking marijuana smell is everywhere nowadays.
No different than cigarettes.
Stinks up everything.

Years ago, I was initially against legalization bc I figured with the already excessive amount of irresponsible drunks on the road, I could see that number doubled with irresponsible high-as-a-kite drivers who legally obtained weed & its derivatives. I wasn't against anyone partying/chilling, but was more concerned about road safety from the reckless.
However, after witnessing roughly 20 years of careless distracted smartphone drivers, which obliterates DUI numbers, I believe it's senseless to prohibit weed/derivatives from the responsible, much less make it a felony.

Don’t get all defensive.
Marijuana stinks. There is a reason they call it skunk.
Everyone hated cigarette smoke. They just replaced it with MJ.

Crack is not a concentrated version of cocaine. It’s a diluted version.

I remember when I thought the folks I elected represented my views too.
Then I realized both sides are in it for themselves while claiming to be the good guy.
