MEDICAL MARIJUANA
Patients, doctors and advocates gathered at the Capitol on Wednesday
for Texans for Medical Marijuana Lobby Day.
The group is encouraging the Legislature to support House Bill 1534 by
Rep. Elliott Naishtat. It would offer bona fide medical marijuana
patients an affirmative defense to prosecution for possession of marijuana.
Past efforts to pass such a bill in the Texas Legislature have failed.
