It’s a start for Texas!

Texas Policy passed
Legislation which would reduce penalties for possession of cannabis flower and concentrates has passed out of committee!

Ask your Representative to vote YES on HB 218!
Bill Highlights:
Possessing up to one ounce of cannabis or cannabis concentrates would be reduced to a Class C misdemeanor, with no jail time and a fine of no more than $500. Under existing law, possession of even the smallest amount of cannabis is a Class B misdemeanor, which can carry up to 180 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $2,000. Possession of any amount of cannabis concentrates is a felony, which carries a minimum jail term of between 180 days and two years.
Possession of up to two ounces would not result in an arrest if that was the only violation of the law. Currently anyone found in possession of any amount of cannabis is arrested and taken to jail in most jurisdictions.
Sets up an expungement process for possession of up to two ounces with a fee of $30 if certain conditions are met. This allows anyone with a low-level marijuana possession conviction to remove it from their criminal record.
