This year several polls and surveys have been commissioned in Texas on the subject of marijuana legalization and decriminalization and the conclusion is that the majority of Texans are for the legalization of the drug. Right now marijuana carries a $2000 fine and up to six months in jail in the State of Texas but change may soon be on the horizon as States start to explore their options. Many people nationwide including doctors and scientists have shared their opinion on the use of medical marijuana, many stating that patients should have access to the medical benefits that marijuana provides. Legalization would take it out of the hands of gangs and cartels making its production and distribution a safe and profitable industry. The nation was blown away earlier this year when legalization through referendums took place in Washington and Colorado. Nationwide poles have also shown that the majority of Americans are for decriminalization and the majority of Texans according to these new polls suggest they would support the change as well.
