If they really believed in personal freedom, as they claim, they would legalize marijuana and allow individuals to make their own choice. Texas has always been a pro-business state. Approving recreational marijuana in Texas along with accompanying dispensaries will create thousands of jobs.
A larger question I have is, why are our elected officials turning a deaf ear to this issue — whether on a local, state or federal level? Various legitimate polls tell us there is popular support; a 2020 Gallupfound 68 percent of Americans favor a form of legalization. Numbers don’t lie. To further support legalization, among many reasons, are the unquestionable economic pluses, which hopefully Mr. Tomlinson and the Houston Chronicle can bring forth in additional articles.
Again, the big question we should ask our elected officials is simply this: if you won’t serve and support the majority on this issue, then whom do you serve, yourself?I read the column this morning by Chris Tomlinson about legalizing marijuana in Texas. I would like to see a column with the facts about legalizing casino gambling.
