Upcoming Events – April to June

 Operation Trapped – Statewide ~ NOW – Many veterans in Texas want a safer alternative to harmful prescription medicine, which can lead to addiction to narcotics and an alarming number of overdose deaths every year. If you are like the thousands of Texas veterans who take cannabis to relieve the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic pain, or other service-related injuries, you are treated like a criminal in Texas. That is wrong, and your voice should be heard.  Texas NORML and Texans for Responsible Marijuana Policy want to send a message to state lawmakers that it’s time for a better option, and you can help. We have launched a one-year project to collect a single used prescription bottle from every state veteran who wants a safer alternative. Learn how to participate in Operation Trapped HERE. 4/11/14 – PACT Empowerment Meeting – Capitol Building Room E2.010 – We have reserved the next PACT empowerment meeting for Monday, April 11th, 2016 @ Texas State Capitol – 11a-3pm in Room E2.010. P.A.C.T. is a patient support & empowerment group with the objective of expanding the level of patient outreach, encouraging patient empowerment, and gaining the correct knowledge, etiquette, manner, and discipline, required in changing cannabis laws in Texas!
