I have noticed this year that one of the sponsors of the podcast is a company that specializes in cannabis products.  Coincidently there seems to be a LOT of weed being smoked at DKR on game day.  

I noticed it during the REK concert and it increased during the Sugar Ray show last Saturday...even to the point where lead singer Mark McBath even said something, and he is from California.

During the game, it was drifting over in Section 27.

I realize it is Austin but have never smelled it at the tailgates and game

Oh well, great marketing by the OFT staff.

Stay High My Friends!  LOL

Weed? In Austin? I’m shocked! Shocked!

Blake does the best pot reads doesn’t he 

Everybody’s money is the same color

Let me guess….you drink alcohol like a fish, yet if an individual smokes marijuana it’s the worst thing in the world? I have 27 years in the medical field and I can tell you that alcohol is much more dangerous to the body than marijuana, it just so happens that the lobbyist got alcohol legalized.

Alcohol probably is worse for you yes, but pot is horrible for your lungs. And for the edible crowd out there, it’s horrible for brain development in young adults. The incredibly high THC count nowadays isn’t being researched enough for the effects it has on the brain. In 20 years we are going to see just how bad it is. Acting like marijuana is some miracle substance with no side effects is just as bad as thinking alcohol is fine. 

OTF is the reason weed smoking has proliferated at Texas. Got it!

1 difference to the OP's complaint, I don't want to drink my neighbors backwashed beer and I dont want to breathe someone's second smoke whether weed, tobacco, cinnamon vanilla swirl whatever, ...

Buy some damn gummies!

I love weed. It's amazing

LOL....finally someone who gets my sense of humor

Ricky and KD smoke weed. Ricky is at a lot of games. It’s not like Snoop is there or Cheech and Chong.

Mark McBath is honestly a better name than Mark McGrath

Some history,  In 1989 I ruptured two discs in my lumbar region during spring training (Thank you Stan Thomas lol).  It was later discovered I had stenosis of the lumbar, effectively ending my playing career.  This injury started to effect me more and more as I aged.  Five years ago, I had to give up golf.  Ever so often the pain gets intense and I do take some THC infused gummies in order to sleep.  I am NOT against weed.   I was only giving the moderators a hard time.  I am no prude, but my wife kinda is when it comes to that,  She comes from a super conservative culture (Mexican).  I had to get her brother's approval to ask her out,

I do drink, but limit myself to two Michelob Ultras per game

I just got back from Vegas and there are casinos everywhere, probably because y’all advertise prize picks. Explain yourself. 

Biggest lobbyist spend to keep weed illegal in Texas - the alcohol and tobacco industries. When in doubt, follow the money. 

The legalization and increased adoption of weed and gambling is going to make our society much worse. That is reason enough to dislike them but the smell of weed and constantly advertisements for "daily fantasy" and "prediction markets" is just as awful to me personally.

People love to make jokes and sometimes we make snide remarks, etc, but I actually think you are correct...in 20 years we may finally admit how bad it was, particularly for people younger than 25 years old (brain deveopment).   I appreciate your comment and the probable courage it took to make it, knowing that so many of us will probably pooh pooh it.  

It's a hot button topic.  I remember when MADD first formed and how much bad and derisive criticism those mothers received from the rest of us...we could drive in those days with open containers in our cars!!  And we did!!  We smoked in grocery stores and traffic courts and teachers' break rooms and offices and hospitals(!!)...you get the picture...it was crazy where we all smoked...and this was up into the early 90's!

I'll be curious to see what happens in the future...

Packaging up weed and gambling? Interesting.

I mean, I could have included porn as something that makes society worse too but it has invaded sports...yet.

Athletes don’t watch porn? Do tell.  

Personally, I’d love not to take ad dollars from certain segments.

At the same time, this is a business and I want to make payroll.
