Texas Takes Stumbling First Step Towards Legalization of Marijuana

Gov. Greg Abbott has a choice to make.  Will he or will he not veto a bill that makes a very small first step towards legalization of medical marijuana in Texas.  If Abbot signs the new legislation, medical marijuana could be legal in Texas albeit in a very modified limited way. The Texas House has approved a Senate bill that would allow limited use of Cannabidiol oils, a marijuana derivative.  The new law might stand a chance of getting Abbott’s approval because it was sponsored by two Republicans.  The bill, crafted by Sen. Kevin Etlife and Rep. Stephanie Klick would legalize Cannabidiol oils, which don’t cause euphoria upon ingestion.  Marijuana reform, which is slowly creeping across the nation, may speed up if the reddest of the red states cracks open the door even slightly.
