It was a stellar performance if you ask me. And certainly the first time I ever heard "shit" as part of an Olympic ceremony.

Can you tell us how the yearbook handled this? Special section or just a memoriam page or what have you? (Former yearbook staff member myself, I know it's usually a separate staff from newspaper.)

Doesn't surprise me. Discount Tire is a real tire business, and the owner's probably a diehard Christian conservative... the waiting area usually has music from the local contemporary-Christian piped in, so no doubt they're donating to help fight the "devil weed".

Probably not until Greg "Not On My Watch" Abbott leaves office.

Not for lack of trying anyway. There's a bunch of MJ-related bills that'll be introduced, and hopefully they'll get further along than the 2015 session, when only a limited CBD oil bill got signed into law.

It'd be nice if we could get a legalization amendment before the voters, but 2/3 of the House and Senate have to approve the ballot measure first, and I don't see that happening currently.

One guy in Texas, a state representative named David Simpson, tried to make that point in pushing MJ reform. And the thanks he got? He was recently primaried out of office.
