Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Social Media
Claim: Texas made marijuana possession a felony after more than 70% of voters voted to legalize it.
Rating: MOSTLY FALSE
Explanation: Texas reinstated rules treating certain THC products as controlled substances, but it did not make all marijuana possession a felony. Possession of 2 ounces or less remains a Class B misdemeanor. The cited 70% vote also came from a Democratic primary proposition, not a statewide legalization referendum open to all voters.
