Nine bills concerning marijuana and hemp are set for public hearing in the Texas House on Monday.
In a session where more than 7,000 bills have been filed, nine on cannabis could seem like a small thing. But just a few years ago, getting a hearing for even a single bill on the issue would have been unthinkable.
This session, more than 60 bills relating to marijuana and hemp have been filed. Jax Finkel, executive director of Texas NORML, said that’s the most she’s seen in the Legislature since she started volunteering for the cannabis activist group in 2005, when only two bills were filed.
