HOUSTON (KTRK) --
Some Texas lawmakers are high on one big idea for the start of the legislative session: decriminalizing marijuana.
Monday was the first day of bill filing for the 2017 legislative session and according to the Texas Tribune, Lone Star State legislators submitted several proposals to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana. Among the bills are those that would create a specialty court for certain first-time marijuana possession offenders, reduce criminal penalties for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana and re-classify convictions for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Hells yea. That's what I want to see - Texas catching up with Colorado. Let's do this.
