Texas and their Cannabis

Living in the land of the free and the home of the brave, but there can be a price to pay when you get caught with a little cannabis.  Not every state is against the medical marijuana usage. Surprising Texas is one of the states that is coming to a head with being okay with reforming ideas around this green leafy substance. Texas has puts Marijuana reform back on the agenda for 2015, which is just a few months away. Many are still against the ideal of making it legal here in state, it just being a gateway for more trouble. However there has been total opposite opinions to that, this time is being brought up in politics.

Texas being so close to Mexico with all there drug trafficking, some say this could be a way to lessen the danger that it has caused in the states. Also with the reform talks, attention has been brought about when to actually criminalize someone for the amounts on how much marijuana there holding possession of when caught with it. It is said a person of a first time offender with less than 2 grams of the substance can be let go with no corrective action.  Personally I feel that’s a reasonable response, corrective actions and conviction time is an over the top reaction to something that can be considerably petty. Looks like we are taking baby steps towards a full on legalization of the substance, but that could be a good thing when introducing something people are so opionnated about. This can just get the idea through the door and began to better inform the public about the good use of the substance and that it’s not all bad compared to some legal uses we have currently. If you would like become more informed about information there is a site you can visit about the use and reform. (Mainstreet)

For this to be such a big and important topic to many, nothing has officially be released that bills or laws will be made or changed anytime soon. Many will continue to privately practice this substance in their homes and elsewhere. Others will continue spread news against this reform, but baby steps aren’t looking too bad for supporters.
