Texas Standard for March 10, 2017
Should a joint land you in jail? That’s the pot law on the books now in Texas – up to six months, in theory. But we’ll hear from a republican who’s fighting to reduce that penalty.

Plus: Fitbits on cows, the typewriter rodeo, a wrap of the week in Texas politics and so much more coming up today on the Texas Standard:
