Texas is a conservative stronghold that has delivered presidents and massive economic numbers. If everything is bigger in Texas, the buds are about to get a lot bigger if a successful initiative allows for patients to grow their own marijuana using Green House Seed Co. genetics to get the biggest yields of their lives.

Texas has a closer margin of opinion than in most states will laws going up for a vote, which is in line with the conservative atmosphere. 58% of Texans support allowing terminally ill patients access to marijuana for a limited number of conditions. Again at 58% is the number of Texans who either somewhat or strongly support a system similar to Colorado and Washington for adults over the age of twenty one. It seems most people support regulating marijuana the same way

With the Decriminalization movement moving ever closer towards marijuana possession and use being a slap on the wrist, even residents in the most conservative states are coming to support law reform. Texans have already begun the process towards establishing a medical marijuana Law, with initiatives being started by several groups in the state.

A Necessity for the State

The weather looks good for medical marijuana in Texas, especially since most citizens support a recreational system. With the nation’s largest border with Mexico, Texas knows all too well about drug trafficking from cartels, and like Arizona hopes to fight demand for cartel product and raise money to help ensure other drugs do not cross the border.

Texas could raise $166 million in the first year of a marijuana reform and while tax revenue has not lived up to estimations in other states, even 50% of the estimate could do a lot for the state that has had recent budget gap issues. Marijuana would further the economic recovery that has been partially delayed in the lone star state

Texans will likely be swayed by the moves made by other states like, and the arguments against edibles which have lead to a series of towns to post referendum to ban the retail sale of recreational marijuana. There is a precedent of local activity associated with marijuana, so it is only fitting that banning the substance again should be done in the same way. Hopefully supporters of the movement will not get tired of getting out and voting as communities continually raise petitions to ban the sale of marijuana.
