What needs to be done to legalize marijuana in Texas?

Become a lobbyist, or a politician.
Or try to make Texas the thirteent province of the Netherlands.

Of all the causes you could set yourself to…

Good luck with that! Hasn’t even happened in CA or HI. Texas probably doesn’t even have legalized medical marijuana. That’s where you should start.

@rebbel I doubt the Netherlands would want them, heh.

Texas wont even legalize medical marijuana. so good luck. but i agree with @holden

“holden” shut up it is a good cause it does have medical benefits. And “lilikoi” I thought they did legalize medical marijuana in CA?

I think it is up for the vote in CA this November. Just tryin’ to generate some revenue. Maybe if Texas went broke…

Hahahahahaha

@holden GA times a million.

Pssh…just move.

What needs to be done to get it legalized everywhere?

Baby steps, it begins with medical marijuana and then the movement will grow. Patience my friends. 14 states medically approved. Some of the rest are some close-minded states, so this aint gonna be easy.

@kdizzle

Yes in CA, but they didn’t “legalize marijuana” for casual use. Neither did Hawaii. And my point is, if CA and HI can’t do it, there is not a chance in hell that Texas will. I thought the question was about broad based legalization of pot, not about specifically legalizing medical marijuana. We have discussed medical marijuana laws on Fluther several times before. Just do a search for ‘marijuana’. The last time I asked a question about pot laws, people posted a couple of very informative links.

@slick44 Congress needs to change the federal law.

I’m not sure about this. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
You have a state legislature of elected officials that propose bills and laws. Right? So you and many others would have to convince your local representatives that you want such a law (perhaps through petitions and such) and voting for people who support your position during elections. If you get enough representatives to agree, and they propose a law and pass it, then that is how the laws are changed.

I think.

But what I don’t understand is what happens if the state law allows something but the federal law doesn’t? That is confusing to me.

..I guess it’s a good cause in that it’s a lot easier to ignore the real problems in the world when you’re totally baked.

Let’s see, 13% poverty level, millions without health insurance, homelessness on the rise…ah, fuck it. Let’s get high.

Now thats the spirit!

In Texas? Probably a second revolution. Call up the ghost of Sam Houston and ask him about it. Texas is just about the most unlikely place in the USA to legalize marijuana.

Lobotomies for the state legislature.

It is highly unlikely that marijuana and marijuana use will be legalized here in Texas. Besides marijuana kills brain cells and people who smoke it are brainless morons anyway. They also make up lame excuses for smoking it such as….. it calms me down to smoke it, it helps my cancer, etc. That is a bunch of bull. People try to make that crap up to justify doing an illegal drug. There are already too many brainless stupid idiots running around, legalizing marijuana would increase that, and that does not need to happen.

actually it has been found to have the oppisite properties that debunk this killing brain cells myth you bring up. Now that medical research is being done, it is being found that it actually kills cancer cells and tumors, reduces cancer risk dramatically and even has antioxidant properties.

Knowledge is power, if people would research in depth a topic that they are against then we wouldnt have such ignorant anwsers against marijauna reform.
