Paul Bettencourt (R - TX)
While State Senator Bettencourt supported SB339 to legalize medical marijuana in the State of Texas with a yes vote, he was not supportive of Houston DA Kim Og’s successful efforts to decriminalize marijuana in Harris County. NORML’s position is we can’t legalize mmj if we keep throwing patients in jail.
