Abbott and O'Rourke share opposing views to Biden's federal marijuana possession pardon as November's gubernatorial election nears.
Gov. Greg Abbott’s take on the plant has not changed in the slightest during his time in office. Despite appeals from veterans and people with chronic illnesses that could benefit from the use of marijuana, he maintains a tight grip on the notion that it’s a criminal offense.
So, it wasn’t uncharacteristic of Abbott’s office to disagree with Biden’s latest pardon, the governor thinking of the effects it could have on Texans. “Texas is not in the habit of taking criminal justice advice from the leader of the defund police party and someone who has overseen a criminal justice system run amuck with cashless bail and a revolving door for violent criminals. The Governor of Texas can only pardon individuals who have been through the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles system with a recommendation for pardon,” said a spokesperson for Abbott.
When I’m governor, we will finally legalize marijuana in Texas and expunge the records of those arrested for marijuana possession.In a follow-up tweet upon Biden’s pardon announcement, O’Rourke reiterated his position on the matter.
