Answer:
Comparing changes in the public opinion of Texans regarding the legal status of marijuana with the actions of legislators and the judicial system in Texas indicates that "public opinion can lead the political elite to alter government policy".
Explanation:
Cannabis also popular as marijuana and categorize as a psychoactive drug extracted from the Cannabis plant with motive of catering medical or recreational purposes.
Texas politicians have been introducing bills for over a decade aimed at relaxing strict marijuana laws in Texas. We just went nowhere until 2015, when the Compassionate Use Act was signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, which allowed the selling of a particular type of cannabis oil to Texans with an intractable epilepsy.
Thus such actions indicated that public opinion can lead the political elite to alter government policy.
