Although marijuana is becoming legal in more and more states and may even be legal in Texas some day as things currently stand the penalties for marijuana include possible jail time, drivers license suspension, you become ineligible for financial aid, and you could end up with a criminal record that will follow you for the rest of your life. You may personally believe that being in possession of a small amount of marijuana for personal use should be legal in Texas, I may even believe that, but as the law currently stands it is not legal. Additionally, prosecutors working for Harris County will prosecute you if you are caught with marijuana and cases will not be dismissed simply because its “just marijuana.”
