(Quinn Foster photo for Leafly)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-originator-dj-screw\">The originator: DJ Screw<\/h2>\n<p>Chopped and Screwed music originated in Houston in the early 1990s with the late great DJ Screw. DJ Screw was born in Smithville, Texas, and moved to Houston as a child. Growing up on Houston\u2019s Southside, a historically Black district, Screw (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chron.com\/local\/history\/innovators-inventions\/article\/By-slowing-things-down-DJ-Screw-found-fame-fast-9827789.php\">Robert Earl Davis Jr.<\/a>) enlarged his love for music. Screw became more serious about deejaying while living in the heart of Houston.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left\">\n<p>As a kid, DJ Screw and his cousin \u201cused to make mixtapes and sell them at school for lunch money.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DJ Screw and his first cousin, Big Bubb, were not new to the game, but true to the game. Big Bubb once recalled: \u201cWhen we was young we used to make mixtapes and sell them at school for lunch money.\u201d Big Bubb remembers \u201cFresh Is The Word\u201d by NYC rap group Matronix as the first record he witnessed Screw slow down. Screw continued to evolve his sound and eventually produced an entire mixtape.<\/p>\n<p>Screw\u2019s style of deejaying was self-taught, unique, and completely fresh to the 90s Hip-Hop scene. Instead of following the wave of older DJs by mixing and playing popular songs at skating rinks, like DJ Darryl Scott, or imitating hardcore groups like Houston\u2019s Geto Boys, Screw created his own lane and brought other local artists along in the process.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"photo-of-dj-screw\" class=\"wp-image-182404 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/in-houston-cannabis-fires-up-the-citys-chopped-screwed-culture-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/in-houston-cannabis-fires-up-the-citys-chopped-screwed-culture-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/in-houston-cannabis-fires-up-the-citys-chopped-screwed-culture-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/in-houston-cannabis-fires-up-the-citys-chopped-screwed-culture-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>DJ Screw slowed down the tempo to fit the vibe of Houston.

DJ Screw not only mixed popular songs, but he mixed songs by local Houston rappers as well. Screw was inclusive yet exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Houstoners have been ridin\u2019 SLAB (a remodeled classic car) and bangin\u2019 screw.

Classic tracks such as \u201cI Can\u2019t Leave Drank Alone\u201d are typically complemented with a bleezy (a blunt).<\/p>\n<p>In the early 2000s, the term \u201cSLAB\u201d expanded into an acronym (Slow, Loud, and Bangin\u2019).

Possession of 4 ounces results in a mandatory minimum 180 days in jail.<\/p>\n<p>If a person is caught selling 7 grams or less they could potentially serve a year in jail and pay a hefty fine up to $4,000.

While Texas is a conservative state that historically votes for Republicans (Gov. Greg Abbott, Rick Perry, and George W. Bush), the city of Houston tends to sway between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>There tends to be a gray area and thin line on where cannabis is \u201csafe\u201d to smoke in Houston. I have witnessed Houstoners smoke right in front of HPD (Houston Police Department) at events and everything remains kosher. Of course, circumstances may differ depending on one\u2019s skin tone and dress code.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the criminalization of recreational marijuana, Houstoners face consumer challenges, such as limited strains to choose from and who to trust.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-this-is-why-local-elections-matter\">This is why local elections matter<\/h2>\n<p>In the city of Houston, District Attorney Kim Ogg has helped with decreasing cannabis charges tremendously.

But the amount of THC allowed is so low that Texas is generally not considered a medically legal state.
