Politician Info
A
Charles Schwertner (R - TX)
In 2015 State Senator Charles Shwertner voted Yes on SB339 the Compassionate Use Act in Texas.
But when a more comprehensive bill to legalize medical marijuana reached the committee he Chairs for Health and Human Services he let SB269 languish in 2017.
TXCann shows that despite Schwertner being a doctor his doners aren’t that friendly to legalization:
