GOP Gov. Abbott Sides With AG Paxton On Texas Weed Decriminalization: Cities Like Lubbock Have No Authority To 'Override' State Law
Residents of Lubbock, West Texas' largest city with 264,000 residents, are slated to vote next week to decriminalize local low-level marijuana offenses, making it yet another city in the Lone Star State, to do so. For a May 4 vote, which has been raising dust for months, Gov. Greg Abbott said it's not a way to make a change. Instead, he proposes reaching out to lawmakers, reported Marijuana Moment. "Local communities such as towns, cities and counties, they don't have the authority to override state law," Abbott, who previously said that marijuana possession alone shouldn't put anyone behind bars, said. "If they want to see a different law passed, they need to work with their legislators. Let's legislate to work to make sure that the state, as a state, will pass some of the law."
