Perhaps we are arguing two different points and it’s appropriate to make a distinction between the presence of a significant “marijuana culture” vs. the culture of the state at-large with regard to marijuana. The former exists in TX- and in most states- whereas there is considerable variance among the states concerning the latter. Otherwise, what until this point has prevented a sufficient number of Texans from providing sick people access to Med Mar? Hint: It rhymes with “culture”.
Actually it's the politicians. Texans want it legalize. The State government doesn't, but now Perry is for it.

About 65% of the 20% of voters that vote in this state.

However, you're point fails because this is about marijuana. Republicans love weed. Its only been outlawed because it being criminalized plays a significant part in our states economy.

"Your". I was going to let this slide, but its just too ridonculous.

Your state has profited off criminalization more than other states because of your state's culture towards the unholy Reefer.

Public Views of Marijuana

Libertarians might love weed, but the rest of the right disagrees. A solid majority of Republicans are still opposed to legalizing it.

It's no surprise that the only states to support medical marijuana and the only states to legalize it outright thus far have been blue states. It's true that Texas is highly gerrymandered and social conservatives have disproportionate influence in the state government, but even without that reform wouldn't be politically possible there. Texas will probably lag behind the rest of the country as the push for legalization slowly gains more support.

I don't think you Texan homers are convincing anyone and you keep detracting from the main point of the thread as it relates to places with a strong marijuana culture..
If you had to break it up into tiers, I think it'd probably go:
Tier 1: Humboldt, Mendocino, SF, Oakland, Denver, Seattle, Portland, LA;
Tier 2: Any general major city within a state that has decriminalized or allows medical marijuana (at best, an argument could be made for Austin here);
Tier 3: All other areas in the US including Houston, Dallas, etc.
