  • Breaking: Governor Abbott Endorses Decriminalization and Updates Position on Medical Cannabis

Breaking: Governor Abbott Endorses Decriminalization and Updates Position on Medical Cannabis

September 29, 2018 Jax Event, Medical Marijuana, News

In last night’s debate, Governor Abbott clarified his current position regarding his stance on marijuana legalization.

Support our effort at the Capitol!

This is a step for the Governor and we hope to work towards making this change possible.


Governor Abbott directly addressed medical cannabis and the current Texas Compassionate Use Program saying, “Parents with children who have epilepsy approached me a couple sessions ago about the possibility of what’s called CBD oil for their children. I was moved by what they had to say, I agree with them, and I am the governor who signed the legalization of CBD oil. More recently, I’ve had discussions with veterans as well as parents of autistic children and others make it a very strong compelling case about legalization of medical marijuana.”

Please donate toward our work continuing to reach out to the Governor and the Legislature!

Watch the full exchange here.
