The primary for the Texas governor race is coming up tomorrow, and a newspaper from the state has compiled a list of how each candidate feels about marijuana legalization.

Surprisingly, the majority of them are in favor in some way, even the Republicans.

Here’s a list of their answers, per the Star-Telegram.

Republicans

Paul Belew: Yes, complete legalization

Kandy Kaye Horn: Yes, complete legalization

Don Huffines: Keep it medicinal

Chad Prather: Keep it medicinal, people should decide recreational via votes

Allen B. West: No

Danny Harrison: Yes, complete legalization

Greg Abbott (current Governor): Open to decriminalization

Democrats

Beto O’Rourke: Yes, complete legalization

Joy Diaz: Yes, complete legalization

Inocencio Barrientez: Yes, complete legalization

Rich Wakeland: Yes, complete legalization

Michael Cooper: No response

This all fares well for the future of Texas, that will surely raise many millions of dollars each year should they decide on legalization of the plant.

Read their full responses at Star-Telegram.
