Texas Official Urges State Legislature To Set Aside Political Differences, Expand Cannabis Program

#Texas continues to be one of the more restrictive states in terms of #cannabis access despite its #Compassionate Use Program, a 2015 measure that allows residents to consume so-called low-THC products that contain .3% or .5% #THC with a physician’s recommendation.

Texas #Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller wants to expand that program. Miller, a #Republican, indicated in a post on the Texas Department of Agriculture’s website that he has seen “firsthand the value of cannabis as #medicine.” “It is my goal next year to expand access to the compassionate use of cannabis products in Texas so that every Texan with a #medical need has access to these medicines,” he said. Meanwhile, the popularity of the #plant seems to be growing among Texans, with the majority strongly supporting the legalization of #recreational cannabis, according to a recent survey from the #University of #Houston and Texas #Southern University.

Interestingly, 51% of survey participants who identified as #Republicans back federal marijuana legalization, even though most of the reform backers were #Democrats and young people. More precisely, 79% of Democrats and 70% of independents support the cause. While the Texas political landscape remains overwhelmingly conservative, #cannabis advocates are setting their hopes on Beto O’#Rourke, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate who favors cannabis legalization and has called out Republicans who prohibit it, yet enjoy it themselves.
