Texas replaces the country's harshest marijuana law

The Texas legislature replaced what Bonnie and Whitebread call the most severe marijuana law in the country with a substantially more lenient one. A respectable segment of the legislature even favoured decriminalisation, which a special state senate committee had recommended.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for United States here.
