Texas House Bill 63 has been scheduled for a hearing!
February 27, 2019Recap – Hearing for HB 63: Marijuana Decriminalization
March 5, 2019Patients visit their legislators to voice their need for access to medical marijuana in the Lone Star State.
In the Texas State Capitol Building, dozens of patients joined us to ask their legislators to coauthor legislation that makes the Texas Compassionate Use Program more inclusive and effective. HB 1365 (authored by Rep Lucio, III) and SB90 (authored by Sen Menendez) would allow patients with debilitating conditions access to medical cannabis to therapeutically treat the symptoms of their condition.
Ask your legislators to coauthor HB 1365 and SB 90 now!
Patients met up to learn from our briefing about how the legislative process works, a review of our priority legislation, and an overview of messaging and crafting testimony. Patients then broke out into groups by district and went to visit their legislative offices. Many patients also stayed to register their support of HB 63, which would reduce possession of one ounce to a small, civil fine.
