Sometimes just getting invited to the party is enough. A new bill could legalize cannabis use and possession for Texans 21 and older.
Today, a bill that could legalize adult-use cannabis is receiving a hearing in the Texas Legislature. If enacted, House Bill 3652, filed by, a Democrat from El Paso, would allow adults 21 and older to use, possess and transport up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis. The bill would also allow people to cultivate up to 12 of their own cannabis plants on their property.
If we’re being honest, HB 3652 has next to no chance of passing. Gov. Greg Abbott would have to sign it, and based on statements he’s made in the past, he has no intentions of putting his signature on a bill that would legalize adult-use cannabis across the state. When it comes to cannabis, Abbott appears interested only in penalty reductions for possession and in limited uses for the plant as a medication under the Texas Compassionate Use Program.
Jesse Williams, a local cannabis advocate and the managing editor and deputy director of Texas Cannabis Collective, said the bill likely won’t make it far. “But having a hearing in committee for it is monumental as a step for Texas, especially as it will give Texans a chance to show they have a taste for more change in Texas cannabis law,” Williams said.
