Texas Governor Rick Perry has
endorsed the idea of decriminalizing marijuana.
Note that this is not Colorado/Washington-style legalization (which
would give Texas access to a flood of tax-dollars from a legal
industry), rather, it's decriminalization, which means that you will get
a ticket if you get caught with small amounts of pot. That deprives the
state of tax revenue, but saves the state some money on the prison
system, and allows police the all-important discretion to
disproportionately hassle brown people and anyone they find suspicious
