Three more Texas cities, including Dallas, poised to vote on pot decriminalization

Activists appear to have collected enough signatures to put marijuana decriminalization on the ballot in three more Texas cities, according to advocacy group NORML. If recently circulated petitions are certified by officials in Bastrop, Dallas and Lockhart, voters in those municipalities will decide at the November ballot box whether to ban local police from busting people for low-level pot possession, NORML reports. Voters in Austin, Denton, Elgin, Killeen and San Marcos already have approved similar measures.
