We’ll have the release of the Texas Marijuana Policy Primary Voter Guide available as well as a list of upcoming events that Texas NORML will be involved in, updates on some of our events this past month as well as the latest news from around Texas and the US about cannabis law reform.
Ret Major David Bass will announce our veterans’ initiative to influence our legislators and Governor Abbott to support a medical marijuana program during the 2019 Texas legislative session. “Operation Still Trapped” will poignantly display how legal access to medical cannabis is a “life or death” situation for many of our veterans.

Live updates will be posted on our event page.
