MEDICAL MARIJUANA up for legalization in TEXAS today.
House Bill 2107, authored with bipartisan support by Rep. Eddie Lucio, III (D), Rep. Jason Isaac (R), Rep. James White (R), and Rep. Ron Simmons (R) would make the Compassionate Use Program more inclusive for patients with debilitating medical conditions. Seriously ill Texans deserve safe and legal access to medical cannabis if their doctors think they could benefit. The bill will be considered by the Public Health Committee on Tuesday, May 2.
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

2) To show your support for the bill, come to the Texas State Capitol and sign up in support of HB 2107. You can register your support starting at 8 a.m. and until the conclusion our hearing.
3) You can provide testimony....written and submitted via committee binder
When visiting the Capitol, please always dress professionally.
We will have a large volume of witnesses in addition to long agendas before the House Floor and Public Health Committee, so unless you have a qualifying condition or are a medical professional, it is best to simply register your support. If you plan to stay and testify in person, please let us know (info@txmjpolicy.org) so we can coordinate testimony, and please bring 12 copies of your printed testimony to submit to the committee clerk.
