BLAZING TOWARD THE BALLOT: Effort to place marijuana reform measure on November ballot heads into final month

On Tuesday, local immigration and legal reform organization Mano Amiga gave a public update on its ballot initiative effort to decriminalize marijuana in San Marcos in front of San Marcos City Hall. 

“So many people’s lives have been irrevocably changed for the worse because our government chooses to cage people for cannabis, something that’s medical or recreational in more than half of our nation’s states,” said Eric Martinez, policy director for Mano Amiga. 

Ground Game Texas, an organization that collaborates “with partners on the ground to meet voters at their doors, hear their concerns, and highlight popular issues that are on the ballot,” has joined Mano Amiga in decriminalization efforts.
