The politics of a marijuana buzz:

http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/2015/01/the-politics-of-a-marijuana-buzz.html/

The legislation is titled the “Texas Compassionate-Use Act"

"That’s because the cannabis oil that could be produced and dispensed under the bill would have to be extremely low in the THC compound that produces the high for pot users. The Eltife-Klick background materials say the “extremely low” THC levels would not be “sufficient to get the consumer ‘high,’ even in large doses.”

The bills (SB 339 and HB 892) dwell on controlled THC levels, using the term “low-THC cannabis” 51 times. The bills never use the term “marijuana.” They mention the variation “marihuana” once, by way of saying no one following the new law could be busted under current pot statutes. Current laws also use the variation “marihuana.”

All of this makes we wonder why — except for the politics of getting votes — does anyone worry about a cannabis user feeling slightly euphoric?

Typically, no one really cares if prescription pills put a smile on someone’s face."
