US Edition'It Should Not Be up to the Government': Tyler Smoke Shop Urges People to Veto THC Ban Bill
- Texas legislators approved Senate Bill 3, which prohibits all cannabinoids in edible hemp items apart from CBD and CBG that do not produce intoxication; the bill awaits Governor Abbott’s decision following the legislative session conclusion on June 2, 2025.
- The bill aims to regulate unlicensed THC products after concerns raised by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, though critics dispute his claims and plan legal challenges against him.
- The bill would affect an $8 billion Texas hemp industry employing 53,000 people, with over 8,000 retailers selling THC products across the state.
- Dan Patrick stated, "No one knows what's in any of these bags," showing THC-infused Cereal Bites labeled 300 milligrams but potentially containing 1,200 milligrams, claims contested by producers.
- If Abbott signs the bill within ten days after June 2, it would take effect in September, causing activists and veterans groups to urge him to veto to protect communities and businesses.
