DA's position dealing with misdemeanor marijuana cases following passage of Texas' new hemp law.

The only thing it does is make me cough and gives me a headache. I guess that if I need to go through the motion of smoking something it might happen.

It is a major expense to prosecute these cases with little benefit for society even if it results in a plea or conviction.
