It seems like marijuana is in the news all the time these days. More and more states are taking steps to legalize medical marijuana, as well as adult recreational marijuana. However, Texas is not one of them. While the state does have a medical marijuana law, it is quite restrictive, offering protection only for certain kinds of marijuana used by those with intractable epileptic seizures.
Where does Texas stand on marijuana?
Marijuana has become increasingly socially acceptable in recent years. More states every year vote to legalize marijuana for medical and recreational purposes. As people see that crime rates do not end up spiking in these states, prohibition seems like a lost cause. However, many states, including Texas, still criminalize the possession, use and cultivation of marijuana for most people.
