Unfortunately they know the money involved and we're passing on it anyways. We can sell cbd/hemp in Texas but we can't grow it. On purpose. It's not the first time Texas has turned its nose up at "free" money. We also turned down expanded Medicare, which also fucks the ACA, leaving some Texans (I was there myself last year) stuck between neither qualifying for ACA nor Medicaid as each tells you to go to the other for coverage. As far as I can tell we're doing this only for ideology.

I think Texas needs new leadership, the people we have now are just not up to the task.

I think it's done to reduce federal control over Texas. Whereas pot legalization wouldn't have this effect, so I think Texas will do it eventually
