[QUOTE="SnoSki, post: 2723540, member: 4537"] Every time the weed debate comes up I can’t help but wonder why TX doesn’t have casinos. I’ve heard a lot of the debates around the subject centering around how they hurt people financially (but we have the lottery and scratch offs), they attract transients (already have quite a few), and they are addictive (we already allow and even celebrate alcohol, tobacco, strip clubs, porn shops, and many want legalized marijuana). I am certainly not wanting one on every major blvd in DFW but maybe there is a logical way to regulate their placement and allow the revenues earned to benefit our state finances somehow, like with education, public medicine or something pressing like that. Makes little sense to me that we allow a crappy casino like the ones in Oklahoma to suck away millions and millions of Texans’ income each year because some lawmakers fear the “vice” of it (while they likely still consume some or all of the others listed above).
