A+ Gwenn Burud (D - TX) LEGALIZE, TAX, AND REGULATE DECRIMINALIZE MEDICAL USE
(From her website): “Legalization of Marijuana: Medical and recreational cannabis have the potential to improve the lives of Texans in several ways. Those who suffer from mental health disorders, chronic pain, and other medical conditions could use its medicinal properties to find relief from symptoms. Additionally, recreational cannabis would bring in significant tax revenue, while at the same time reducing costs related to enforcing marijuana prohibition. It is time for Texas to join the majority of states who have recognized marijuana’s positive potential.“ https://www.texasnorml.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2018-Voter-Guide-v.FINAL-2.20.18.pdf When questioned about supporting legislation for states’ rights during the primaries Gwen had an inciteful response; “The federal government might get to legalization before states like Texas do.”
Comments

"I firmly stand by legalizing marijuana here in the Lone Star State. Cannabis reform is about healthcare, criminal justice, and boosting our economy. Economically speaking, we are losing out on tourism and tax revenue to other states that have shown marijuana can be sold legally. It’s about time we caught up with other states on this issue. I would like to add that cannabis should be regulated in the same manner as alcohol." (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, October 2022)
