Dallas becomes largest Texas city to vote for cannabis decriminalization

Voters in Dallas on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a measure making the city the largest in Texas to approve decriminalizing cannabis. Some 67% of voters there approved the Dallas Freedom Act, which would amend the city charter to stop cops from arresting or even ticketing people for possession of up to four ounces of weed, the Dallas Morning News reports. However, under the charter change, authorities still would able to arrest people for marijuana possession in felony investigations linked to violence or narcotics distribution.
