In an interview with Texas NORML on San Antonio’s The Source from Texas Public Radio on 10/30/18, Mr. Allison expressed support for medical marijuana specifically for epilepsy (the Compassionate Use Program is currently too restrictive and expensive to reach the epileptics it was intended for). However, when Allison mentioned depenalizing marijuana possessions with drug classes he expressed concern with decriminalization by revisiting debunked propaganda stating “I believe marijuana is a gateway drug.” http://www.tpr.org/post/celina-montoya-and-steve-allison-race-fill-joe-straus-d-121-seat-texas-house
