Default Hb 758 in texas decriminalized up to an ounce of marijuana
yep it's true google it and see, that way we'd be fined instead of spending 6 months in jail.

c'mon yall get it in gear and let these ppl know what we aready know. you can spend 15 mins on the phone with these ppl or order a pizza. do the right thing and diet. lol
"This year could very well be the year that lawmakers in Texas take a more sensible approach to marijuana policy. Two bills have already been introduced this legislative session that would move Texas in the right direction.
Rep. Elliott Naishtat (D-49) recently introduced H.B. 1534, a bill that would afford medical marijuana patients a good level of protection. H.B. 1534 would establish an "affirmative defense" law for patients. A patient could still be arrested or cited for possession of marijuana, but would be acquitted in court with a written or oral statement from a physician.
Please click here to send a message to your legislators in support of H.B. 1534.
Texas is in the midst of a prison crisis, and H.B. 1534 would ensure that seriously ill medical marijuana patients aren't needless additions to the state's already full corrections system. An affirmative defense protects patients from jail, although not from arrest. This would be very similar to the medical marijuana law currently in place in Maryland.
The other good bill is H.B. 758, sponsored by Rep. Harold Dutton (D-142). H.B. 758 would reduce the penalty for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. Currently, possession of up to two ounces is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to $2,000 in fines and 180 days in jail. While possession of between one and two ounces would remain a Class B misdemeanor, H.B. 758 proposes that less than one ounce become a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable only by a fine up to $500.
H.B. 758 would be a step in the right direction for Texas. The bill currently sits in the House Criminal Jurisprudence committee. Please take a moment to call the committee members and urge them to hold a hearing on H.B. 758:

Rep. Aaron Pena — committee chair — (512) 463-0426 or (956) 383-7444 Rep. Allen Vaught — vice-chair — (512) 463-0244 Rep. Debbie Riddle — budget & oversight chair — (512) 463-0572 or (281) 537-5252 Rep. Juan M. Escobar — (512) 463-0666 or (361) 592-6120 Rep. Terri Hodge — (512) 463-0586 or (214) 824-1996 Rep. Barbara Mallory Caraway — (512) 463-0664 Rep. Paul Moreno — (512) 463-0638 or (915) 544-0789 Rep. Paula Pierson — (512) 463-0562 Rep. Robert Talton — (512) 463-0460 or (281) 487-8818
Your voice could ensure that H.B. 758 receives a hearing this year, so please take a moment to call."

lol well it won't really be legal, the cops can still arrest you for federal laws and haul you off to jail if they really don't like you, but it'd be aquitted in court.

I bet the members of the criminal justice system in Texas, from the local street cop to the correctional officer in the prisons are licking their wounds over this ruling.
