As I travel across our state, one topic continues to come up in conversation: cannabis. And whether we should #legalizeit in Texas is an important debate we ought to be having.

I know where I stand: I am in support of legalized recreational and medicinal #cannabis in Texas. 1/7
Why is that?
✳️ Legalized recreational & medicinal cannabis will be a money maker for TX. How does 30,000 permanent jobs, $1.1 billion in revenue to add to the state budget & $300 million statewide savings for police & prosecutors sound? It sounds like smart progress to me. 2/7
✳️ #Cannabis provides our veterans & those suffering from illness a wellness alternative to addicting opioids.
✳️ Legalized cannabis will fund our police & courts by removing a wasteful, petty prosecution & turn this cash crop into a profit center for a growing state. 3/7

#Thread about #cannabisnews #LegalizeCannabis #NewYork :
After years of controversy, the New York State Parliament paved the way for the legalization of marijuana. One reason for this is the fight against structural racism.

nzz.ch/international/…
New York is the 15th American state to allow free use of marijuana.

The main reason for legalization is the fight against structural racism: the current cannabis legislation in New York had discriminated against non-whites.
Although consumption is roughly evenly distributed, blacks were arrested many times more often for marijuana offenses.
