I've voted for him before. If he's serious about returning hemp to a commercial crop in Texas, he'll get my vote again.

It's stupid that we don't grow such a valuable crop that does well in marginal ground just because some people want to smoke it.

It may be on the come back:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp

Some states have made the cultivation of industrial hemp legal, but these states
— North Dakota, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Oregon, California, Montana,
West Virginia and Vermont — have not yet begun to grow it because of resistance
from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. In 2013, after the legalization
of marijuana in the state, several farmers in Colorado planted and harvested
several acres of hemp, bringing in the first hemp crop in the United States in over half a century.[81]
