Austin also has a proposition officially decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana which many people with disabilities use to help with pain, seizures, spasms and other side effects of their disabilities. This same proposition oddly also addresses ending no knock warrants, which could effect people with psychiatric disabilities, among others.
