From young children with epilepsy to veterans living with PTSD, families across Texas know that criminalizing marijuana often means criminalizing the medication that could improve their lives. It’s time we end the federal prohibition on marijuana.

I am a chronic pain patient but am not willing to take the risk of marijuana while it is illegal even though I know people it has helped.

2. The majority of Americans think all medical pot should be legal...

I heard it on the news as they were covering the local "Bayked By the Bay" festivities celebrating 4/20.

My cable repair man moved his family to CA only for the medical pot that has helped a family member with severe seizures. The seizures have decreased by 99% and his family lives in a camper now but he said he would do it again in a heartbeat.

3. Decriminalization of Marijuana was part of the Texas state party platform in 2012

Juanita Jean's husband championed this provision and got it into the party platform

And it looks like it's going to be close.
