Texas is evolving on marijuana, so what would it take to change the laws?

AUSTIN (KXAN) — During his reelection campaign, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has struck a moderate tone when it comes to marijuana. A University of Texas at Austin and Texas Tribune poll last June showed 60% of Texas voters say they support the recreational use of marijuana. Governor has made it pretty explicitly clear that he is not on board for lessening the state’s drug laws around marijuana,” said Joshua Blank with UT Austin’s Texas Politics Project. “We have people in Colorado, for example, and other states where (marijuana is) legal building these multimillion-dollar businesses,” she said. There’s no reason to think that Texas isn’t also going to consider some scheme like that.”
