Cannabis penalty reduction bill passes the Texas House of Representatives
Texas is getting closer to decriminalizing cannabis. Texas House Bill 218, currently advancing through the state legislature, aims to reduce penalties associated with cannabis possession in the Lone Star State.
This bill, which has already been approved in the Texas House of Representatives, is expected to have a significant and immediate impact on the justice system. It specifically reduces penalties for possession of one ounce or less of cannabis. Notably, the bill directs law enforcement officers to refrain from making arrests for possession and establishes a procedure for striking off prior cannabis charges. Under HB 218, if a person is found to have up to one ounce of cannabis in Texas, it is considered a serious offense and not an arrestable offense. In addition, a fine of up to $500 can be imposed.
“Spend money where it needs to be spent” lawyer Thad Davidson said. “Use resources where they need to be used, and skip the rest. This is one of those things that can be skipped.”
Data from NORML reveals that in 2021 alone, more than 20,000 people were arrested in Texas for cannabis possession. The bill’s journey into law requires approval in the Senate as well as the signature of Governor Greg Abbott.

240 pairs of twins were observed, one in the legal market and the other in the other. The researchers discovered that overall alcohol consumption was not significantly different. Twins living in cannabis-legal states were “less at risk while under the influence of alcohol” than twins living in a state where cannabis remained banned.
“Recreational legalization was associated with increased cannabis use and decreased symptoms of AUD but was not associated with other maladjustments,” the researchers wrote. “We generated evidence suggesting that legalizing cannabis results in a 0.11 standard deviation increase in cannabis frequency, while a 0.11 standard deviation decrease in AUD symptoms is driven by reductions in alcohol use when physically hazardous.”
