Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller — a GOP politician better known for his inflammatory online presence than an interest in legal reform — has penned an op-ed calling for the state to expand its limited medical marijuana program. In an essay posted on the Texas Department of Agriculture website, Miller compared efforts to criminalize weed to the failed alcohol prohibition of the 1920s. “As I look back, I believe that cannabis prohibition came from a place of fear, not from medical science or the analysis of social harm,” he wrote.
