Led by the Texas VFW and Texas Hemp Business Council, press conference speakers included farmers, veterans, small business owners, and hemp advocates. They are speaking out against SB 3, which would put an end to legal THC consumables within the state.
They voiced concerns about the dismantling of a $4.3 billion industry which they say supports 53,000 jobs, as well as the potential to “open the floodgates” to unregulated, unsafe products in the vacuum created by the legislation.
A petition with more than 115,000 signatures and thousands of letters were delivered to Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.
