Staff Report Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A tea party-backed Texas state lawmaker has filed a bill to fully legalize marijuana, seeking to strike any prohibition of it from state statute.
Republican state Rep. David Simpson of Longview filed his proposal late Monday. In a statement, he said he seeks to "reframe the current marijuana discussion."
Simpson has long championed top libertarian causes but supports legalizing marijuana because of his devout Christian beliefs. In his words, "God did not make a mistake when he made marijuana that the government needs to fix."
Unlike some states, Texas hasn't moved to ease restrictions on marijuana even for medical reasons. That makes it hard to imagine Simpson's plan gaining traction.
Still, he argues it should be utilized for medical reasons, to produce fiber "or simply for beauty and enjoyment."

A WINCHESTER estate agency has hosted a special tea party to help raise funds for a new cancer centre.
Staff at Savills opened their doors to local business owners who raised just shy of 500 for The Havens campaign to build a new support centre in Titchfield.
The centre, which is due to open later this year, will cost somewhere in the region of 1 million.
Businesses included Wilkins Kennedy, Godwins, Shentons, Warner and Richardson, Adam Architecture, Huw Thomas Architecture and Moore Blatch in Southampton.
Steven Moore, head of office and residential sales, said: The tea party was an informal networking event and a great way of raising funds for an extremely important local charity and an opportunity for our staff to show-off their delicious baking talents.
