Pro-Marijuana Rally At The Texas Capitol

[Jacob Redmond]

As two bills addressing marijuana take historic steps forward at the Texas State Capitol, people in support of legalizing marijuana stood outside the Capitol Saturday.

Many protesters held signs that read statements such as "We are patients, not criminals" and "Cannabis heals."

House Bill 2165 would allow possession and delivery of marijuana beginning in September and Senate Bill 339 would allow licensed doctors to prescribe low amounts of THC to epilepsy patients.

Protesters want legislators to look at the *benefits of marijuana more than the drawbacks.

"Hemp is like sustainable in a lot of different ways. I believe in medical marijuana and all the good it can do for the planet - sustainable clothing. I think there's a lot of good that can come from it," said Tanya Gunn, a protester at the Capitol.

The House bill made it out of committee on Wednesday and the Senate bill now waits for a vote in the House.
