A new poll shows Texans want to ban THC but are in favor of legalizing the use of recreational marijuana. THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive chemical component found in cannabis and is what causes the sensation of feeling high.

A new poll of voters shows that most Texans are ready for significant changes to the state's marijuana laws, including decriminalization and legalizing recreational use. The survey showed that only 22% of Texans want current marijuana laws to remain in place.

The study, which surveyed 1,200 Texas adults, found that more than 70% of Texans support the legalization of “destination resort casinos" in the state and more than 60% support the sale and use of marijuana for recreational purposes.
