Join us for a fundraising reception in support of the Texas Cannabis PAC.
About this event
Texas Cannabis PAC (TexCann) is a non-partisan political action committee organized to promote the consensus position on cannabis reform in the Texas Legislature.

For years now, the tide has been changing around the country as state after state revisits and reforms our cannabis laws. These changes range from decriminalization and medical marijuana to allowing for adult recreational use. Texas is no exception to this process, having formally rejected the “Schedule I” status and prohibition policy of the federal government through the Texas Legislature’s passage and implementation of the Texas Compassionate Use Act, which currently allows for limited access of cannabis derivatives from plants grown in Texas.

The move toward reform continues as Texans have witnessed both political partes embrace cannabis reform. These bipartisan calls for common-sense decriminalization, legalization, medical access, and business enterprise opportunities continue to grow louder.

Take Action Today!

TexCANN seeks to gather and distribute the resources necessary to encourage continued reform. This is done by providing campaign contributions to members of the Texas legislature and statewide office holders who agree with the consensus position and are willing to support it.

In the past several years, activists have worked hard and made exceptional progress in reforming Texas cannabis laws. However, the missing piece is a comprehensive political support mechanism to encourage and protect those lawmakers willing to lead on the subject.

TexCANN provides this missing piece and is the necessary effort to ensure the passage of significant cannabis reform in Texas.
