Hundreds protested for pot on the steps of the capitol today. A "cannabis crusade" came calling on Texas lawmakers Saturday, calling for the legalization of marijuana.

The south steps of the state capitol were the scene of the protest.

Participants argued that the medical use of marijuana is justified because it can help relieve the pain and nausea that accompany certain medical conditions -- despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision against legal medical use.

CBS 42's Rebecca Taylor reports some were also calling for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use.

The protest and march were sponsored by the Texas Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
