Good point, but I think good sense will win out eventually. There's a number of reasons for hope.

For example, a 2004 poll showed 75% of Texans support medical marijuana. And in March of this year, an Amarillo jury acquitted an HIV sufferer of possession charges after he argued that he used it to combat nausea and cyclical vomiting syndrome, which causes chronic vomiting.

Maybe it won't be too long before the great state of Texas takes neighboring New Mexico's lead and allows the medical use of marijuana.

I think it will happen within 5 years in Texas. Yes it is a Puritanical, conservative state, but there does seem to be quite a lot of hippies in Texas and whole lot of dope smokers.

But yeah decriminalization would make the border patrol people bored.
