The Texas Senate voted unanimously to approve a scaled-back expansion of the state’s medical marijuana program, nearly a month after the Texas House gave its approval.

Many advocates who were hoping to see more significant changes to the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP) say they’re upset by a last minute substitution to the legislation.

“I’m really disappointed in what the Senate did,” said Elizabeth Miller in an interview with CBS 11.
