Medicinal Marijuana, Decriminalization Efforts Back



A veteran lawmaker hopes actions taken by state legislatures in Washington and Colorado will pave the way for Texas policymakers to consider a bill that hasn’t been heard in committee in nearly a decade.
House Bill 594, by state Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin, would provide an affirmative defense for patients who use marijuana based on the recommendation of their doctors. The bill would not allow a doctor to prescribe the illegal drug, but there would be no penalty levied against a physician who discusses it or recommends it, Naishtat said.
“There are two hurdles,” for the patient, he said. “You have to have a bona fide medical condition like cancer, AIDS, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis. And you have to have a licensed physician who has suggested or recommended you try marijuana to alleviate the symptoms of the conditions.”  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.

I am Brandon Jones and I am a marijuana activist.
I try my hardest to get the word out about the wonders
and miracles marijuana is in itself,
Whether smoked, eaten, or drank.
It is all good for you.
I have to say, 
some people have no business with marijuana
But those are the people who should go to jail.
Not the everyday marijuana smoker.
Marijuana on the street is often poorly grown and has grown mold on the inside of your bud that blends in.
Dispensaries are a much safer way to distribute and tax marijuana.
