Even though the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature has shown little appetite for sweeping cannabis reform, 83% of the state's voters think weed should be legal for medical or recreational use,The survey, released Monday by the University of Texas, also found that 72% of Lone Star State voters want to cut the punishment for possession of small amounts of pot to a citation and a fine.
The idea of decriminalizing small amounts of weed has primarily been embraced in Democrat-controlled Texas counties, including Bexar, where district attorneys have stopped prosecuting criminal cases for low-level cannabis offenses. Even so, the UT poll shows support for decriminalization across the political spectrum. Among Republicans, 63% favored reducing pot penalties, while 84% of Democrats and 66% of independents support the idea.
