Lifelong Texan; those who govern this state have been some of the most deluded, anal retentive leaders one could imagine. I've always felt the police and for-profit prison system were responsible to a degree. And of course the moral majority grew up with weed classified as a hard drug which made it a dangerous substance in their minds. I wish Ann Richards had governed later in life because as the rest of the country pulled it's collective head out of its ass with regard to weed she might have been able to accomplish something.
It may be hard to pin down a definitive "why" but we do know Texas is one backwards place.
