Parents urge Senate version of marijuana bill
Concerned Parents for Marijuana Reform, based in part in North Dallas and Richardson, will contact Ron Clower and O. H. Ike Harris to back the Senate bill for controlled substances. It lowers penalties for possession, proposing four ounces as the misdemeanor cutoff with up to seven days in jail or a $200 fine, versus the House’s one ounce limit and up to six months jail or $1,000 fine. The group argues current laws are too harsh and influenced by emotion, not fact, as lawmakers prepare a conference committee to resolve differences before session end.
