Texas: Lubbock Depenalization Measures
On May 4, voters in the city of Lubbock will decide on a Prop A, a citizens-initiated measure to depenalize certain marijuana-related offenses.
In October, advocates submitted twice the total number of signatures required to compel city officials to vote on the Freedom Act Lubbock measure. The proposed municipal ordinance ends arrests and citations for adults who possess misdemeanor amounts of cannabis within the city’s limits. The measure also prohibits police from issuing citations for charges related to the possession of marijuana paraphernalia.
