The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Lubbock faces a pro-marijuana use proposition (Prop. A) on the May 4th ballot. What of all the libertarian and other promises of the benefits of legal weed? Three words: Up in smoke.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
