I hope this will push you from arguing with each other and discussing what this topic is about "Marijuana Law" and i hope it opens your eyes to the fact that marijuana laws are not only about weather you can possess them but also about how the government can make money off them and increase the range of their power. The Texas Constitution's Bill Of Rights states that "No person shall ever be imprisoned for debt." http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/txconst/sections/cn000100-001800.html and all forms of state tax except for the controlled substances tax http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/docs/TX/content/htm/tx.002.00.000159.00.htm have no CRIMINAL PROVISIONS including imprisonment. I know people will find accounts of double jeopardy related to this tax but the question remains can a person that has not paid the tax on the marijuana they possessed can they be jailed or even threatened with jail? There is also an entry in the Texas Constitution's Bill Of Rights stating that "all laws contrary thereto, or to the following provisions, shall be void." http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/txconst/sections/cn000100-002900.html Referring back to the "No person shall ever be imprisoned for debt" and how a person can be imprisoned for not paying a tax debt. I have experienced imprisonment for not paying my marijuana tax and the lawyer I was appointed by the state did nothing to defend me. He only told me that I was guilty and should take probation or I will be put in jail. I think he was pleasing a county that kept his wallet fat in return for convincing his clients they had no defense.
