Nicholas Irving sits down with Shawn Prez to react to Texas’ sudden reported crackdown on THC products, where possession of small amounts, gummies, or edibles could allegedly carry severe felony penalties, even comparisons to heroin-level charges. The conversation explores how the change could impact cannabis users, smoke shops, and everyday consumers across Texas, from THC brownies to dispensary-style products pulled from shelves overnight.
Irving and Prez also discuss the broader implications for marijuana laws, criminal justice reform, and the War on Drugs, questioning whether harsh penalties will hold up when professionals, business leaders, Wall Street types, doctors, and high-income Texans are also part of cannabis culture. The discussion touches on racial disparities in drug enforcement, comparisons to crack cocaine sentencing, and how states like California and places like New York approach weed differently.
A candid look at cannabis policy, class, race, and power in America.
