Texas House OKs medical cannabis expansion bill | KVUE

Several marijuana-related bills are making moves at the Texas state Capitol. One could make it easier for Texans with cancer to get medical marijuana.

Let 21 and older smoke marijuana!
We Texas deserve it!

Just legalize it. It's already as cheap as 125 an oz here in Michigan. Clean/safe no drug dealers.

Stop dragging us behind, almost half the country is fully legalized! This is ridiculous

This bill okays super weak cannabis. I've got epilepsy, I can't get it in Texas now because of the type of epilepsy I have...it doesn't stop seizures but it helps treat the extremely painful after effects. What they are trying to pass, won't help a stubbed toe. Just fully legalize it already! We don't need casinos stealing from poor people creating gambling addicts to create a false economy, we need things that actually help and are proven!

Texas vets and chronic pain patients deserves and need this Dan Patrick is depriving the community from legitimate effective medicine
And it should be a crime that he’s doing so

[DgurlSunshine]

Liberty for ALL! No Mens Rea! No Victim No crime! I do not consent to Big Government regulating My Human Rights!

[Texgrl_]

It’s time to let some of us get pain relief and sleep.

I'm eligible for the Texas so called compassionate care cannabis. It's worse than worthless is is actually being run by Texas law enforcement. The DPS is the "compassionate organization" who keeps a list of anyone who needs this help. I'm a life long Republican who is willing to vote, on a state level, for Democrats to stop the evil of this horrible law. Dan Patrick is against legalization because small town sheriff's departments make money robbing people along Texas roadways.

I would rather have someone smoking a tree then be wrapped around one.

[Dogbertforpresident]

Dan Patrick has got to go before we make headway on legalization.

Abbott has to leave office so texans can have access to marijuana 😃

[williamscamron]

I hope people with MS will be able to use that

[bmwocanada]

End the prohibition. The legalization of cannabis is what people need.

[yourstruly]

Just say when and where already 👍💚😸✌️

I know CPS management in Texas treated marijuana use by a parent as a capitol offense and would harass parents and try to remove children just on its use no other factors.

I know I worked there as investigator for 26 years and hundreds of man hours and money wasted on a very very minor issue.

[MrGreatSite]

So, did it become law for those conditions? Like the veteran shown, I too need it for those.

[learningfromlifewithashley]

Oh goodness let’s hope. I need my medicine. I live in Arizona but I am on probation out of Texas. I cannot use my medicine here even tho I have my card because Texas has jurisdiction over me 😢
I am suffering tremendously with pain and ptsd

Today Abbott signed the bill for medical marijuana for Cancer and PTSD.

A friend told me they use it for anxiety instead of benzodiazepines
