2:51Now Playing"Willie Nelson's bud Kinky Friedman wants to become Texas' next Agriculture Commissioner. So it should come as no surprise that he's made the upcoming election "a referendum on lifting the prohibition on pot and hemp."
"Prohibition simply doesn't work," Friedman writes on his campaign website. "Lifting the prohibition is not about long-haired hippies smoking dope; it's about the economy, the environment, water conservation, education, the border, health care, criminal justice (and injustice!). It's about the future of this great state."
Cenk Uygur () host of The Young Turks discusses the possibility of cannabis decriminalization in Texas if Kinky Friedman is elected. Do you support the legalization of marijuana? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
